Printers We Use

Our color printers are specifically  developed and designed for the production of outdoor signs, banners, and graphics for up to 3 years. It employs six new industrial piezo inkjet heads featuring 512 nozzles per color (for a total of 3072 nozzles) that jet a revolutionary new lower-solvent ink with expanded color gamut feature.

The New Expanded Gamut Outdoor Ink Set

The Expanded Gamut Outdoor Ink set includes 6 pigmented ink colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, black, light cyan, and light magenta. Each ink was developed to jet reliably through the industrial piezo inkjet heads of the printer, and to provide industry leading performance on a wide range of uncoated media such as uncoated adhesive vinyl, banner scrim, films, fabric, and paper.

Color Gamut: The six color Ink set can reproduce the an extremely wide range of colors, and has been specifically designed to provide depth and color fidelity in the red and black areas of the color spectrum - colors that traditional solvent and lower solvent inks have not reproduced well. Our inks provide an unmatched color gamut, allowing the production of better and more realistic signage and graphics.

Solvent Content: The new inks are lower solvent inks; that is, they have a lower solvent content than traditional solvent inks, produce less VOCs, and emit less odors. Unlike other wide-format printer ink sets, our inks do not contain Cyclohexanon - a compound identified by certain health organizations as poisonous to humans. 

UV Lightfastness: As the ink set is a pigmented-based ink - it can withstand a great deal of indoor (fluorescent) and outdoor (UV) light exposure without significant fading. Preliminary results indicate our inks rank extremely high in terms of sustained outdoor ligntfastness without fading. As accelerated light and weather testing methods can only approximate actual outdoor conditions, actual performance can vary based on geography, latitude, angle orientation, chemical exposure (acid rain), and temperature. Under normal conditions, our inks are recommended for outdoor applications up to 3 years without lamination on standard uncoated vinyl and banner materials.
