It is available in a range of print widths, from 70mm to 560mm, and single or dual configurations with print speeds up to 75m/min as standard.

The TF Technology enables users to digitally add special effects and variable data. The system can handle a range of inks and fluids, including spot colors (K or CMY), protective lacquers, high-build spot varnish, heavily pigmented high-opacity under-surface whites, cold foil adhesives, metallics, etc.
