Reduce your cost per print, maximise your profits. |
The new heavy-duty feed and take-up system ensures media is fed straight, even when unattended. It supports rolls weighing up to 100 Kg, and offers convenient front access for loading and unloading of both feed and take-up rolls.A fully integrated triple-heater and blower system enables high-speed printing without having to worry about prints smudging on the rollers, sticking to the media or the take-up unit.
Demonstrating the high-production focus of the GFX-G2, the new continuous bulk ink system is designed for unattended output. The completely redesigned ink delivery system also keeps running costs to a minimum, increasing your profits on every single print.
Many solvent machines require regular maintenance of up to an hour in the morning and another hour in the evening. The GFX-G2 takes virtually no time. Just fire it up, and it’s ready to go. The Automated Intelligent Maintenance System actively monitors room temperature and
automatically performs routine maintenance. As a result, manual cleaning is only required every two weeks. The Grenadier GFX-G2 can print unattended for extended periods of time without the risk of drying ink or clogged heads. Less maintenance time means more print time.
Come and see the Grenadier GFX-G2 in action for yourself, and, you'll find that every aspect of the Uniform GFX-G2 has been optimised for reliable, high speed, high volume, high quality printing, allowing you to maximise your profits and continue the development of your business.

   Direct-to-Layout Workflow
|
You don't need to be an expert to print like one. With Troop SoftRIP 6.0 even beginners can jump straight in with our simple to use interface. HIGH DEFINITION PRINTING WITH 16-BIT RENDERING With SoftRIP's PSS halftoning and 16-bit rendering, you get the highest quality color possible with an inkjet device. If you thought your output quality was good enough before you are in for a big surprise! Demanding color users like digital photographers have been buzzing about the benefits of 16-bit workflows for some time. Wasatch SoftRIP will be the first PostScript-compatible product to bring this premium color and precision quality to the inkjet printing process. Why 16-bits is better How it Works SoftRIP will process files that are inherently 16-bits deep through color management and PSS halftoning with high fidelity color depth. Files that arrive to the RIP only 8-bits deep will also show substantial benefit. They are promoted to 16-bits of color depth prior to color management and are maintained at this high definition through halftoning. Positive News for Profilers Digital Tool Kit Troop's new Digital Tool Kit brings together the key settings you need to quickly ready images for efficient printing. Size, crop, check color gamut, tile and more without ever leaving the home screen. With navigation that easy, who needs a map? A New Way to Work Troop SoftRIP 6.0 creates new workflow paths to speed your production. Use a standard workflow, or combine them to create a hybrid workflow optimized just for you. The Direct-to-Layout Workflow uses the full width of your media as a digital canvas. Drop images into the layout window and prepare them to print as a part of your overall print run. With Direct-to-Layout you can even use images already ripped as part of another layout without re-ripping. Troop SoftRIP's Job-Based Workflow is now easier than ever. When you drag and drop a file from the file browser into your Job Window, all of the tools you need to process that image are right at your fingertips in the new Digital Tool Kit. Once your image is ready to print, one mouse click processes it through to your printer or saves it to layout with other images. Server-Based Workflows use the RIP exclusively as a control center to manage jobs submitted from remote workstations through production. In 6.0, Troop SoftRIP's production command center moves to the main screen for easier access. With real-time job status and the ability to see RIP and Print queues for all units simultaneously, the Server-Based Workflow has never been easier. Smart Nesting Made Smarter Troop SoftRIP's Smart Nesting tools create efficient layouts automatically, whether you prepare your images directly in the layout window or hold single jobs to arrange later. Smart Nesting uses advanced mathematics to create layout designs that save media costs and guillotine trimming time. In version 6.0, Smart Nesting saves even more media by rotating un-RIP'd files any time that rotation will make the overall layout more efficient. Queue Up Efficiency Version 6.0 moves the Master Queues Manager to the SoftRIP main screen. To save you RIP time again and again, SoftRIP creates Queue entries for every image in your layout as well as the layout itself. Once your image is RIP'd you can drop it into any layout to reprint without re-RIPing. Any layout scenario you can imagine is easier with Troop SoftRIP 6.0. |

Our Fair Play Policy: We pride ourselves on the ‘all inclusive’ nature of our warranty, and we try to give our customers the ‘benefit of the doubt’ whenever possible. In certain instances common sense dictates that we cannot cover parts damaged through neglect, incorrect system use, or other forms of accidental damage caused by the operator. We have to reserve the right to charge for parts, at our discretion, in such instances. |
