Lod, Israel, NUR Macroprinters, a leading supplier of wide-format inkjet production printing systems for the out-of-home advertising  market today announced the launch of its new NUR TempoT II flatbed UV-inkjet press, designed to deliver higher quality at higher speeds than the previous model.

Since it introduced NUR Tempo in late 2003, NUR Macroprinters has installed over 100 units worldwide.

NUR Tempo II is based on the renowned original NUR Tempo platform, but is capable of printing at higher quality and higher print speeds.  This improvement is a result of a new design and related adjustments to the machine's operating software, including new print modes. The new model continues to offer customers the same versatile large printing format and robust material handling system as the original NUR Tempo.

The higher performance NUR Tempo II retains the ability to print in both 4- and 8-colors (with fast changeover between the two) and also features both roll-to-roll and white ink-printing.

NUR Tempo II will provide three new speed modes, including: Fine Press II mode, capable of output at 450 square feet per hour (42 sqm/hr) in 8-colors, Press II mode for output at 667 square feet per hour (62 sqm/hr) in 4-colors, and X-Press mode for output at 1300 square feet per hour (120 sqm/hr) in 4-colors.

A field-installable upgrade kit is available so that current NUR Tempo customers can upgrade their current equipment to the new, higher speed performance levels of NUR Tempo II.

NUR Macroprinters plans to begin shipping NUR Tempo II in mid-May 2006. NUR Tempo  II will replace the current NUR Tempo model.
