The EFI VUTEk FabriVU 340+ dye-sublimation fabric printer is built for businesses that want to scale their soft signage output — with a 3.4-metre print width, a wider application range, high ink yield, and a low total cost of ownership.
More hard profits with more soft signage applications.
Enter the world of profitable soft signage graphics printing with the EFI™ VUTEk® FabriVU® 340+. This 3.4-metre wide dye-sublimation printer will help you build your soft signage business by keeping your running costs low and your profit opportunities high. It delivers everything you need to produce high-quality images at true production-level speeds — plus the flexibility to print directly to fabric or transfer paper, across a wider range of applications than ever before.
- Print dazzling displays, high-density backlit signs and more with ultra-high resolution four-colour printing and a wide colour gamut for exceptional fabric image quality — all at 3.4 metres wide.
- Print direct to textile or indirect via transfer process, enabling you to offer more materials and substrate options — including lower-cost alternatives — to your customers.
- Create soft signs and fabric displays that retain the drape and soft hand customers prefer.
- Produce graphics that can be washed and dried without wrinkling, folded without leaving marks, and rolled without cracking.
- Lower your total cost of ownership with EFI’s ink recovery system, which saves more than 95% of inks lost during purging compared to other systems.
Advanced Media Control Print directly to a wide range of polyester-based materials or transfer paper, enabling you to offer more substrate options to your customers and save by using lower-cost materials.
High-Value Applications Print more profitable soft signage applications at scale — exhibit graphics, backlit graphics, retail fixture wraps, front-lit graphics, block-out banners, flags, and fabric interior décor.
Exceptional Image Quality Ultra-high resolution up to 2,400 dpi with three-level greyscale printing and 7pL, 12pL, and 18pL drop sizes for smooth gradients and perfect crispness. The result: dramatic four-colour printing with a wide colour gamut, rich blacks, and deep colour saturation for exceptional backlit fabric displays.
Lower Ink Consumption & Waste EFI water-based, dispersed dye inks contain higher concentrations of dye and less water, making drying easier. Ink usage is up to 30% less than competitive units. The integrated ink recovery system saves more than 95% of inks lost during purging.
