Live demos with the high-end Kudu flatbed printer and the Karibu 2 roll-to-roll printer formed the centrepiece of the stand. Both machines produced a mix of everyday applications and value-added work, including neon prints, colour-changing effects, and tactile finishes. Conversations with industry professionals confirmed a clear trend: in today\u2019s market, differentiated applications are becoming increasingly important for many print businesses.<\/p>\n
swissQprint chief sales and maketing officer Carmen Eicher said, \u201cOur customers look for versatility in applications, but also for reliable performance and investment security. That\u2019s exactly what we focus on\u201d. <\/p>\n
Distributor Pozitive sign & graphic supplies managing director Phil Trumble, who was at Fespa Barcelona, said, \u201cWhether it\u2019s hotel reception signage, wall art graphics, artist reproductions \u2013 or a whole range of different kinds of textures \u2013 all of this can be done with absolute precision on a swissQprint machine.<\/p>\n

Reliable technology as a foundation<\/p>\n
swissQprint\u2019s technology is designed with day-to-day production in mind, ensuring consistent results and stable processes, even at high speeds. All printers are developed and manufactured entirely at the company\u2019s headquarters in Switzerland, where mechanical, electronic, software and ink expertise are brought together. The systems are engineered for long service life, with the majority of installed machines still in daily use after more than a decade.<\/p>\n
Eicher explained, \u201cHigh uptime and low maintenance requirements are key in daily operations. They enable predictable processes and have a direct impact on running costs\u201d. <\/p>\n
As well, additional investment security comes from swissQprint\u2019s 36-month factory warranty, which is above the industry norm.<\/p>\n
The broad swissQprint printer portfolio supports a wide range of business models,<\/a> from signage companies to industrial print operations. With up to 10 configurable colour channels, systems can be tailored to specific applications, including white, varnish, or neon inks.<\/p>\n The modular design also allows systems to be expanded step by step and adapted as requirements evolve. This concept provides a basis for planned investment and long-term growth.<\/p>\n Comment below to have your say on this story.<\/p>\n If you have a news story or tip-off, get in touch at\u00a0editorial@sprinter.com.au.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
