This innovative printer, which will revolutionize billboard application printing with quadruple the speed and ink coverage, is NUR's latest addition in wide-format printing solutions. Alongside the NUR Expedio 5000 Revolution, NUR will be demonstrating the new NUR Tempo(TM) Q released earlier this month as well, as the new NUR Expedio(TM) 3200 Flatbed Module and the new NUR Tango midrange solvent printer at NUR's booth # 3206. The NUR Expedio 5000 Revolution, a high-volume, super wide-format UV-inkjet printer The NUR Expedio 5000 Revolution UV-inkjet wide-format production printer delivers an unmatched production speed of up to 3,200 sq.ft (300 sq.m) /hr which is 4 times that of most solvent-based printers. In addition, the NUR Expedio 5000 Revolution enables 4 times the ink coverage of most solvent ink printers making it cost effective to print with UV inks. This not only offers the billboard printing industry quadruple the speed and ink coverage, it also offers improved media versatility and operational efficiency as a result of the advantages of UV ink. In the Billboard mode, the NUR Expedio 5000 Revolution also operates at twice the speed of the regular NUR Expedio 5000 and produces approximately twice the ink coverage. The Regular machine mode rounds out the capabilities of the Revolution by optimizing the printing for wide-format Point of Purchase (POP) applications. "We have great expectations for a significant impact on the billboard printing industry", says Mark Packman, President of NUR America. "The Revolution is unquestionably a breakthrough bringing together the benefits of using UV ink with the cost savings of markedly increased production speed and ink coverage", added Packman.

Printing at speeds up to 934 sq.ft (87 sq.m) /hr for outdoor applications and 430 sq.ft (40 sq.m) /hr for high-quality, point-of-purchase applications, makes it the most attractive, versatile solution on the market today.
