Sabur Ink Systems is now the exclusive UK and Ireland distributor for the Gunsjet R4 range of printers, featuring the new RICOH GEN4 print head technology.
Available in three widths - 1900, 2600 & 3300mm - the Gunsjet R4 printer comes with 8 printheads staggered in two lines. The Gunsjet R4 printer is fully upgradeable to 12 printheads, allowing the Gunsjet to reach a maximum speed of 96sqm/hr and a true production speed of 72sqm/hr at 1200x600dpi 4pass. All three models are capable of printing multiple rolls of paper at the same time, enabling the customer to achieve maximum productivity from the machine.
Every R4 printer comes equipped with an intelligent two stage heating ink supply system which ensures the ink is at the optimum operational temperature and viscosity during printing. The printer also comes equipped with an active negative pressure ink system which ensures high stability of ink supply to the heads. The operator can easily monitor the system through digital display gauges. Additionally, the bulk ink tanks are installed with level sensors to warn the operator of low ink levels thereby minimising operator problems during use.
Sabur Ink Systems will be primarily selling the sublimation model which has been developed alongside Manoukian sublimation inks. However, with the Ricoh Gen4 printheads being extremely versatile, the Gunsjet printers are also available in solvent and UV models - both roll to roll format and flatbed.
According to Sabur Ink Systems, “We feel the Gunsjet range of printers will fit into our portfolio perfectly as the printer enables us to offer our growing customer base a wider and faster printer and enables the customer to print multiple rolls at the same time. We are aiming this printer at the sportswear, flags, retail point of sale and exhibition graphics markets.”
The new Gunsjet printer is available immediately. Sabur Ink Systems will have a 3.3m wide model available for demonstrations at its South Yorkshire premises from January 2012.
