It features workflow automation technologies designed to reduce operator intervention and streamline production from print to finished graphic. These include automatic Y-slitters for inline trimming and InSpec AI, an industry-first AI-powered image quality control system that continuously scans printed output during production to identify defects, support real-time correction, and reduce waste and reprints.

The EFI VUTEk Q3h XP high-performance hybrid LED printer in a new seven-color configuration. It’s engineered for demanding production environments requiring excellence in both performance and print quality, and offers production-level throughput and advanced media handling and automation options. The new seven-color configuration includes light cyan, light magenta, and light black for an expanded color gamut, perfect neutral grey balance, and smooth pastels.

The EFInsight cloud-based platform for sign and display graphics multi-pass printers. Originally introduced for use with EFI Nozomi single-pass printers, EFInsight is now available for select EFI multi-pass platforms, bringing printer and production information together in one place to provide visibility into how equipment is being used, greater understanding of performance, and opportunities to identify areas for improvement.

Visitors to EFI’s booth will also have access to an interactive touchscreen kiosk to explore even more products from its packaging, sign and display, and textile portfolios, as well as the printed samples in its applications gallery.

“Along with the new printers and enhanced capabilities that we are bringing to the show, we are also excited to be showing textile samples – including samples from the new EFI Reggiani ecoDenim solution, babywear, non-woven fabrics, fashion accessories and more – and samples produced on our EFI Nozomi single-pass digital inkjet press, optimized for both signs and display graphics as well as traditional corrugated packaging applications,” said Ken Hanulec, EFI vice president, worldwide marketing. “No matter where customers are in their business development and digital journey, EFI offers the technology to help them reach the next level of productivity and profitability.”
