The Novus Synergia H/UV is a combination
f latbed and roll-to-roll printer, with
productions speeds of up to 3,000 square
feet per hour. Manufactured by Novus
Imaging and distributed exclusively in
North America by Global Imaging Inc.,
the Novus Synergia H/UV is a 3.2 meter
combination flatbed and roll-to-roll printer
with a patented "Warp Engine."
The Warp Engine is a new proprietary

It is a true hybrid device that can
operate unattended when printing rollto-roll. Its belt design, full grayscale print
engine, and variable drop technology
produce high print quality and unbroken
tones. The machine also features faster
throughput times, with an inline white
ink that requires no ink switching between
four color printing - with or without white.

Ricoh

Ricoh USA had an impressive lineup of
innovations on display at SGIA 2016;
including hardware, software, and services
that are designed to help sign shops
improve their operations. These offerings
make it easier for cut-sheet printers to
expand into the revenue-rich signage
field. The wide format printing market
continues to expand, and sign printers and
cut-sheet shops value quality, creativity,
and quick turns. Ricoh's approach to
business transforms these values into eyecatching, business-building applications at
affordable price points for shop owners and
managers. The barrier to entry for signage
capabilities has never been lower, and SGIA
attendees were able to see how a holistic
approach to helping customers achieve
their goals can fuel business growth. As
new shops continue to enter the signage
space, they will need guidance in terms
of getting off the ground. Meanwhile,
established shops are always seeking new
and exciting ways to stand out, drive down
costs, increase efficiency, boost profits, and
improve their market position.
The Ricoh Pro L4160 introduces secondgeneration latex inks in for its wide format
line. The device's eco-friendly, aqueous latex
ink and seven-color printing have improved
cure times. This enables faster turn times,
and allows users to print on a wider range
of substrates - such as clear, plastic, vinyl,
textile, and backlit media.
Ricoh plans to resell Mimaki flatbed
printers in the U.S., offering a wide
format LED UV flatbed printer line that
provides high-quality color and larger
output at an affordable price. This printer,
which is capable of handling substrates
up to 1.97" thick, uses abrasion-resistant
UV inks that are suitable for indoor
and outdoor conditions. Mimaki's wide
format flatbed printers feature a longlife, energy-saving UV-LED curing unit.
This unit can help printers save time and
energy costs, due to shorter warm-up and
cool-down periods.
