SwissQprint is the recipient of two EDP Awards – one for the company’s 5th-generation Nyala flatbed printer and another for pyramid printing, a technique that creates images with amazing colour change effects.
In the ‘Large & Wide Format Printing’ award category, swissQprint’s flagship Nyala model emerged as ‘Best Flatbed/Hybrid 150-400 m²/h’. swissQprint launched the fifth generation of the 3.2×2m flatbed printer in January of this year. It features a completely new mechanical foundation for even greater stability and precision, increased productivity (max. 253 m²/h) and 10 colour channels for maximum versatility. The jury described the printer as unique in this speed class, not least because of the roll to roll option that enables it to handle roll material in addition to rigid media.
SwissQprint is also known for high precision and innovative strength when it comes to applications. This is exactly the essence of ‘pyramid printing’, winner of the ‘Best Digital Embellishment Wide Format’ award. Pyramid printing creates an image with a fascinating dynamic effect through colours that change with the viewing angle. Pulling off this trick demands know-how and utmost printing accuracy. The jury emphasised: “Unlike lenticular effects, which require expensive substrates, pyramid printing can be applied to any flat sheet material. It represents a valuable addition for users of the various printer models offered by the brand.”
