Printing on stones and marble simplified

Iqdemy, a group of leading companies uniting the world’s best practices and expertise in the digital large format marketplace, is proud to announce its participation at Viscom Paris (September 24-26, booth H10) and Reklama Moscow (September 24-27, hall 1C36).

Iqdemy’s inkjet printing solutions encompass several flatbed and hybrid large and very large format printers employing UV-LED curing technology that the company has pioneered. At Viscom Paris, the company will showcase the Swiss 2030, the world’s first magnetic levitation printer covering applications in eight different markets.

Accommodating up to 400 kg heavy printing substrates the Swiss 2030 enables haptic or digitally embossed printing on a wide variety of materials including glass, ceramics, limestones, granite, oak, wood, iron, metals, aluminum, and many more. The flatbed printer enables printing with up to 7 colours (CMYKLcLm+White) with a resolution of up to 1,440 dpi and several multiple pass modes. In addition, the Swiss 2030 features a roll-to-roll option.

“Iqdemy’s magnetic levitation technology prevents damages by lifting materials with an air cushion over the surface whereby the vacuum table itself is stable”, explains Vlad Mirchev, founder of Iqdemy. “Magnetic levitation technology is uniquely positioned to print on uneven surfaces, especially in avoiding scratches and chips.”

Employing UV LED curing technology the Swiss 2030 is equipped with UV light emitting diodes that enable environmentally friendly printing as well as printing on sensitive substrates as no hot temperatures are required to cure the ink. The diodes are mercury free and no ventilation system is required as there are no damaging fumes from the printing and curing process. Lifetime of UV LEDs is up to 10 times higher than conventional metal halide UV lamps and power consumption is far less. The Swiss 2030 paired with Iqdemy’s unique business proposal offers large format businesses fast ROI through its unique solutions, opening up a large range of applications for industrial and large format printing.
