GPT develops new super-fast printer

GPT has developed a high-speed printer based on an existing Mimaki textile machine,with the new piece of kit exclusive to the Reading-based supplier.

The 1.9m wide GPT 190S is reported to print at a top speed of 35sq m/hr at resolutions of 540 x 720dpi, as it incorporates a double print head to deliver the additional speed.

It can also output at 24sq m/hr for resolutions at 540 x 1080dpi, or 15sq m/hr at 720 x 1440dpi.

“This is what many of our customers have requested. It provides all the benefits of the JV33 160, more akin to the JV34 for speed with the double heads, a unique 1.9mtr print width, and is incredibly good value for money,” says Stuart Cole, GPT general manager.

The printer also includes a full year parts and labour warranty, Mimaki inks, and RIP software.
