Overview

As run lengths and turnaround times morph, you need a cost-effective response to customer demands for even faster job turns, versioning and variable data, and just-in-time and on-demand printing while reducing inventory costs and waste. Now you can do it all with high-quality, high-speed digital LED printing up to 75 linear meters per minute on substrates up to 1.8 meters wide. Drive continuous operational, environmental, and competitive improvements into your business with the EFI Nozomi C18000.

Let us fuel the production of high-value applications and your operational efficiencies

  • Produce cost-effective on-demand and just-in-time jobs, fast-cycle proofs and prototypes, and customized campaigns with direct-to-substrate, production-level digital printing that reduces process steps, time, and costs
  • Produce high-quality, full-color graphics without the complexities of other printing processes
    • Increase profits by eliminating up-front make ready, plate costs, time, and storage
    • Eliminate ink mixing and storage, and the associated labor
