Shark X8/1080UV
The culmination of two years of R&D, the Shark was designed specifically to meet the needs of our own print shop. You read that correctly, we are the only UV printer manufacturer in the world that originates from printing business. So we know what you really need: speed, quality, durability – throughput – at a price you can actually afford. No extras, just performance.
Based on the same principles besides our Manta and Octopus models, the Shark is an example of durable European engineering.
Its unique design allows it to reach speeds of up to 245 m2/hour at 1080 dpi with the ability to print on either flexible or rigid substrates. The Shark gives you controlled drop sizes and precise dot placement. It delivers true one-pass printing with eight-pass quality and producing vibrant colours.. More jobs, faster turnaround and higher quality for less money. Impossible? Not with the Shark. Believe it. Come and see for yourself. Also see our recently added automatic feeder and automatic cutter to support high productivity of Shark printing process.
