New printers include three 5-meter Barak super-wide format UV printers and a 3.5m Quantum HD quality printer for close-view applications.

Rosh Ha’ayin – Yahav Digital Printing, leading Israeli super-wide format print provider, recently purchased 4 new printers by Matan Digital Printers. The newly acquired printers include three 5-meter industrial UV printers and a 3.5 meter Quantum High Definition quality printer, especially designed for close-view indoor applications. The Quantum also features an innovative Inline Protective Coating, that is applied to the output simultaneously, with the printing.

“We are very pleased about our 4 newly purchased printers” said Mr. Zevik, CEO of Yahav. “We have always had excellent experience with Matan’s printers and when it came to purchasing new equipment, we did not have a single doubt as to where they would come from”. added Zevik. “Matan know how to make excellent printers, at the forefront of today’s print technology, with the best ratio in the industry between print quality, speed and cost. And no less importantly, their technical support is exceptional.”

The Quantum hybrid UV printer will be exhibited for the first time in Europe at FESPA 2015. This printer was developed specifically for top quality close-view indoor applications. It uses tiny 7pL drops, at a 1200 dpi resolution, with excellent transitions, vignettes, skin tones and shadows, as well as precise and sharp 4 point size text. “We chose the Quantum in order to expand our offering for high-quality POP graphics, as well as other high durability applications, such as vehicle graphics.”concluded Zevik.

The Quantum is available in two configurations. With LED UV curing or Arc lamps. Yahav selected to purchase the Arc lamps alternative, which allows them to enjoy Matan’s innovative Inline Protective Coating, which is applied to the print simultaneously with the printing, without slowing down the production speed. This saves significant time on separate laminating, as well as eliminating the need for additi lamination equipment, also saving floor space and human resources. The Inline Coating provides outdoor protection against abrasion, scratching, chemicals, including detergents, weather damage, UV fading and more.

Yahav’s new Quantum replaces several smaller printers which had been used for car wrapping and also serves as back-up for the 5 meter printers in times of peak demand. At Yahav, Matan’s printers routinely work 3 full shifts with an impressive output of tens of thousands square meters a month in a wide range of applications, from billboards, through indoor signage, POP graphics and specialty applications.
