Hybrid Anapurna LED Series
The wide-format hybrid Anapurna LED series is a perfect fit for sign shops, digital printers, photo labs and mid-size graphic screen printers that want to combine board and roll-to-roll print jobs.
The engines print at a width up to 3.2 m and combine high quality with high productivity for outdoor and indoor, rigid and flexible wide-format jobs.
The white ink function creates possibilities for printing on transparent material for backlit applications or for printing white as a spot color.
Go for the optional automatic board feeder to increase your productivity even more.
The hybrid Anapurna LEDs are fitted with air-cooled UV LED lights that save you energy, costs and time. Due to their minimal energy output, these LED lights are ideal for thin heat-sensitive materials.
They also lead to faster operations as they can be switched on and off instantaneously.
