According to the company is ideal for printers that require greater output for continuous production. It loads the precut sheets on the front of the flatbed table and when you start the print job it immediately loads more sheets on the rear half of the table while the machine is printing the first row of sheets. Once the first sheets are printed the print carriage moves to the rear and continues printing. The operator then unloads the printed sheets at the front of the work area and loads the next sheets. Production continues until the print run is complete.

The new Tandem function is designed for high production of precut substrates. Tandem can combine the digital process with screen or offset, allowing printers to personalise large preprinted runs, or apply special features like spot varnish.

The tandem operation comes as standard with the Nyala model and is available as an option for the Oryx and Impala modes. The Impala, Oryx and Nyala run at speeds up to 200sqm per hour with visible resolution of up to 1350dpi.
