The Nyala flatbed printer has led the European sales statistics for the past nine years. The latest model from swissQprint also makes its début in these statistics: Kudu takes third place.

The Nyala flatbed printer embodies the symbiosis of premium print quality, multifunctionality and efficiency, according to manufacturer swissQprint. It is this combination which generates such popularity. And confirmation comes from the market: for nine years in a row, the Nyala model has been the premier choice in the category ‘UV flatbed/hybrid printers >60” (152.4 cm) wide in the 130,000 – 650,000 EUR price segment’. The data comes from Geneva-based market research institute Infosource.

Nyala features a 3.2×2 metre print bed and nine freely configurable colour channels. The standard model outputs up to 206 m2/h, or 370 m2/h in the speed variant. Nyala delivers a high standard of quality across a large breadth and depth of applications. The neon printing capability is particularly popular since swissQprint launched these special inks three years ago.

Competition from within
The Kudu high-end flatbed printer also makes its first appearance in the sales ranking. On the market since May 2022, it already stands in third place. Kudu is built on a newly designed mechanical foundation. It too has a 3.2×2 metre print bed, but features ten freely configurable colour channels. Maximum output is 304 m² – with outstanding print quality.

swissQprint large format printers are highly performant in many respects. Yet they have modest energy needs. Average power consumption is 2.2 kWh, around the same amount of electricity as an ordinary electric kettle requires. Their energy efficiency is certified in accordance with Fogra ISO 20690:2018.
