Retail graphics
Print direct to rigid boards to create hanging retail signs, POP displays, and more.
Clear ink
Enhance an entire image (full flood) or selected areas (spot) to add extra pop to

Indoor signage
Produce indoor signage for retail stores and restaurants by printing directly to foam board, aluminium, acrylic, styrene, and other rigid substrates.
Window, wall, and floor graphics
Use films with an adhesive backing to create full-color graphics applied to the inside or outside of windows, and vinyl graphics on walls and walkways.
Tradeshow and exhibition graphics
Create backlit graphics, hanging banners, and booth backdrops on sturdy media that allows the graphics to pop, such as vinyl material, polypropylene, or soft banner material.
Posters
A high-value application with a low production cost, posters can be printed on inexpensive media or more durable media depending on the duration and location of the installation.

A unique, optional print algorithm for enhanced colour quality and density that does not affect print speed. Allows added colour gamut while remaining in four-colour mode.

Clear ink
Optional clear ink can be used to enhance an entire image (full flood) or selected areas (spot) to add extra pop to colours or special effects to graphics. Prints in line with the other colours and provides a hard surface cure with a gloss finish.
