Vanguard Europe has unveiled its next-generation UV flatbed printer, the VK3220T-HS, at FESPA Munich in Germany.
In its first public showing, the machine took centre stage at the Vanguard booth alongside Durst. Showgoers are invited to see live production of the machine in Hall A2, Stand A10.
This launch also marks the official introduction of a new compact, user-friendly product design for the Vanguard Europe portfolio.
The changes – a result of a collaboration with multi-award-winning Zanzotti Industrial Design, which is also behind the design of the Durst portfolio – aims to bring a more intuitive, ergonomic and optimised experience for machine operators.
The new Vanguard VK3220T-HS has been designed and assembled at the European headquarters of Vanguard Europe in Brixen, Italy, next to the global HQ of Durst.
A 3.2m by 2m flatbed printer, the VK3220T-HS becomes part of Vanguard Europe’s growing portfolio of printers serving all customers in markets covering the industrial flatbed and roll-to-roll printer spectrum with high-performance needs.
Using up to three rows of the 4 picoliter drop size Kyocera print heads at up to 1800 dpi print resolution, the Vanguard VK3220T-HS runs at up to 360 square metres an hour. It is also a printer that can grow and scale in line with customer requirements.
Vanguard Europe managing director Fabian Sottsas said, “We are incredibly excited to be at FESPA for this world launch of the Vanguard VK3220T-HS next-generation UV flatbed printer.
“Together with a new modular design with user-friendly design changes that are more intuitive, ergonomic and optimised for the operator, we know this will be of huge interest to visitors at the show.
“Our strategy to become market leader will only happen through growing profitable business together in partnership with our customers.”
