A new look, advanced user friendly software and the first public showing of the VKR3200-HS roll to roll printer in its new design were among the highlights of Vanguard Europe’s presence at FESPA Global.
Vanguard Europe exhibited alongside its regional strategic partner Pixia BV, and were being complemented by Durst Software & Solutions.
The Vanguard VKR3200-HS is a true roll to roll printer delivering phenomenal quality for banner, static cling, wall covering and other flexible materials. The VKR3200-HS, capable of handling a single roll of 3.2 metres or any two roll configuration of up to 1.6 metres, was running on the stand. The Vanguard VK3220T-HS, which had its global launch at FESPA in 2023, was also running in Amsterdam. During the event, the printers utilised environmentally friendly materials such as SignAgain recycled boards and Kavalan PVC-free front lit banner.
As with all Vanguard Europe machines, the VKR3200-HS is designed in the United States and assembled at the European headquarters next door to the Durst Group HQ in Brixen, Italy. The new industrial design features a software that boasts a novel GUI that enables seamless processing of job order requirements independently for each of the dual rolls on the machine.
“We are incredibly excited to be at FESPA Global,” said Fabian Sottsas, Managing Director of Vanguard Europe. “Together with Pixia and Durst Software & Solutions we have two incredible partners to showcase our cutting edge products, software service technologies. We have made significant progress within a short period of time, as we continue to grow business together profitably for our customers.
“Just a week after confirming Grup Transilvae's partnership in Romania, we are preparing to share news of a new collaboration in France in the next few weeks, proving how committed we are to growing our operations quickly and efficiently. Our mission is to continue to replicate the success of our parent company, which has installed over a thousand LFP printing systems across the Americas.”
A company formed 14 years ago and covering BENELUX, Pixia Managing Director Jeroen van Dortmont said: "The hard graft in the build up to FESPA has been so worth it. The team has done a fantastic job. We are delighted to have the opportunity to interact with a customer base that has a demand for superior quality, rapid production at industrial speeds, and yet is designed with environmental considerations, at competitive prices in the market.
The 75 square metre stand spotlights a true flatbed and a roll to roll UV LED production printer. The Vanguard Europe software version of the Durst Workflow with Analytics, a sophisticated and exclusive feature in this market segment, completes an ultimate set of end to end solutions.
Durst Software & Solutions demonstrated its complete portfolio on the stand. The software solutions streamline the entire process, starting with initial file creation, through prepress, production, and final analysis for clients. These technologies facilitate enhanced levels of automation and efficiency, thereby enhancing print production procedures and efficiencies in business operations.
