Moonachie, New Jersey; December 1, 2005  NUR Macroprinters, a leading supplier of wide-format inkjet production printing systems for the out-of-home advertising market, will introduce a new roll-fed wide-format inkjet press equipped with UV-curable inks as well as updates and enhancements to existing products at the SGIA Digital Expo in Phoenix, Arizona, December 8-10, 2005.

Visitors to the NUR America booth #1000 at the show can see the first public preview in North America of the new NUR Expedio™ 3200 wide-format UV-inkjet press and demonstrations of the NUR Tempo™ flatbed inkjet press running white ink.

About the NUR Expedio 3200 UV-inkjet press
The new NUR Expedio 3200, capable of output to 10-feet wide, joins the 16-foot superwide NUR Expedio 5000 in NUR Macroprinters’ product line-up. The NUR Expedio models are the first and only roll-fed wide-format inkjet presses on the market equipped with UV-curable inks to ensure environmentally friendly operation and media versatility for low operating costs and higher profit margins.

NUR Expedio 3200 will offer 4- and 8-color printing modes with easy changeover between modes and is designed to be used to print a wide range of products, including indoor signage for close-up viewing, as well as billboards and other wide-format applications, at resolutions up to 720 dpi and at speeds over 1000 square feet per hour. A multi-roll printing capability will ensure maximum utilization of the machine’s full capacity. Its robust design provides a user-friendly operating approach with simple substrate loading and unloading and easy access to the printing table to enable efficient evaluation of the printed output.

NUR Expedio 3200 was designed to offer exceptional modularity to customers. In the future, the printhead carriage will be able to accept an additional row of printheads to boost productivity significantly and will also support interfacing with different types of printheads to allow for better quality and/or speed. NUR Expedio 3200 will also accept external add-ons designed to make it even more productive and versatile, such as an in-line varnish option which will be attractive to companies that produce fleet graphics.

NUR Expedio 3200 has recently begun beta testing. Commercial availability is planned for the first quarter of 2006.
