London-based global visual communications provider Delta Group has purchased the new EFI™ Nozomi 18000+ LED single-pass printer for display graphics from Electronics For Imaging, Inc.
Scheduled for installation in Q3, the new printer – the first of its kind to be installed in Europe and only the second to be installed anywhere in the world – sets a new productivity benchmark in inkjet signage production with throughput speeds that are three to five times faster than scanning inkjet printers for display graphics production.
“We have had remarkable success as an early adopter of EFI’s single-pass technology on our first Nozomi solution, an EFI Nozomi C18000 corrugated board printer that we use to produce high-quality displays,” said Martin Shipp, COO, Delta Group. “The new 18000+ model for signage and display graphics will be a welcome development for our customers. The range of applications this printer enables, printing on paper, styrene, corrugated plastic and more at very high speeds, keeps Delta Group ahead in its ability to meet every customer need in the display graphics space.”
The new printer purchase, which was announced during FESPA Global Print Expo in Berlin, comes four years after Delta Group announced its EFI Nozomi C18000 corrugated board printer at that year’s FESPA Global Print Expo.
“The team at Delta Group are once again on the leading edge of innovation in digital printing,” said Todd Zimmerman, VP and GM of Display Graphics, EFI Inkjet. “The range of capabilities Delta Group is obtaining with the EFI Nozomi 18000+ LED single-pass printer puts this company in a new category, above its competitors, in terms of advancing technical innovation and leadership in in the signage market.”
