US launch of Matan Spot36 at SGIA '06

Matan Digital Printers presents the Matan Spot36 for the first time in the USA at SGIA 06. This new digital printer was designed to meet the specialized requirements of wayfinding and traffic signage printers, window graphics and other industrial applications that require short-run, high-durability two-color printing.

The Matan Spot36 is in fact a wider format implementation of the best features and qualities of the Matan Spring12 printer. It shares the same industrial design of the Matan Spring and is equally robust, while maintaining an attractive contemporary high-tech look. It can print up to two colors in one pass. Media width is up to 36 inch and printing width is up to 35.5 inch. Ribbons have been uniquely developed for this printer and include a wide spectrum of spots, special traffic red, blue and green, shiny metallic gold and silver, sand-blasting imitation etched ribbon for window decorations and opaque white. The Matan Spot36 supports a wide range of media, including reflective traffic media.

‘The Matan Spot36 fills the niche of a moderately priced digital printer for specialized high durability two-color applications,’ said Hanan Yosefi, Matan's president and CEO. ‘It is particularly suitable for outdoor applications such as wayfinding and traffic signage and for window decoration graphics. It is already installed and in production at a customer site in the USA and has been successfully presented in Europe at the Fespa Digital Printing Europe 2006 show.’
