Top performance with top quality

The Karibu S roll to roll printer is designed for high performance in 24/7 operation. A special print head configuration makes the most of the possible printing speed. Which is no less than 330 m²/h. And even at that speed, Karibu S delivers astonishingly sharp text and images. That's because it has typical swissQprint precision in its genes – in other words, absolutely accurate droplet placement.

Neon meets UV

Even more special effects in UV printing. For posters, ceiling hangers and POS displays, information and guidance systems, trade fair and event concepts, safety notices or campaign signage. With Neon Green, Orange, Pink and Yellow.

Neon Pink and Neon Yellow are optional spot colours. Compatible with every swissQprint flatbed or roll to roll printer with LED curing, they can be retrofitted at any time. With these two inks, you can conjure up four colour variations. Sounds tempting, doesn't it?

Double-sided printing option

If you have a regular flow of double-sided production jobs, this option is a must for you. Say goodbye to the complications of loading and aligning the rolls. Instead, simply put your trust in a reliable automatic process. And free up capacity!

.

You're all too familiar with the problem: the tricky thing about printing on both sides of stretch banners, ceiling hangers, blockout banners, posters and similar items is making sure that both sides are congruent. Karibu handles this confidently. The roll to roll printer processes jobs of this sort automatically – and reliably, with the help of a camera system that reads QR codes printed next to the image. So the system has everything under control. Come what may, you'll finish the job on time, just as the customer wants it.

Light Box

The Karibu roll to roll printer has a Light Box right next to the printing area. This enables immediate quality control of backlit prints and instant optimisations – with minimal loss of time and material.

Karibu is a specialist at producing backlit prints. Especially since this roll to roll printer – like all swissQprint machines – is a champion at precise droplet positioning. In addition, it offers high-resolution print modes in various increments.

A Light Box integrated with the print bed enables continuous monitoring. It is divided into 48 LED segments. The system illuminates only the exact number required for the defined roll width. And if on occasion that is still dazzling due to the design being printed, they can be dimmed.

Dual roll option

If you routinely process narrower rolls up to 1.6 metres wide, potential may be going to waste. Unless you are using the dual roll option, which doubles your Karibu's productivity.

.

A Karibu equipped with the dual roll option allows you to easily produce identical designs or two different ones at the same time. Only the material thickness and print resolution need to be the same. The system takes care of the details. Sensors and the control system continuously ensure optimal tension in both rolls, for impeccable parallel production.

Total freedom

Typical applications where Karibu S can assist include producing elements for exhibition booths, billboards and posters – to name but a few. The 3.4-metre-wide print bed offers plenty of scope for choosing materials. And the option of adding white to the colour configuration also extends the range of applications.

.

Flexible ink

It's reassuring to know that the UV ink in Karibu S will stand up to everything you plan to do with your printed products: cutting, folding, sewing, inserting eyelets, stretching – whatever you like. The ink is optimised for flexible media, so it is suitably elastic and resilient.

.

Intuitive output software

We've developed output software specially for Karibu: Lory makes light work of setting up and managing print jobs. And it's really fun to use – thanks to intuitive user guidance, real-time previews and wizards that reliably guide operators through the processes, step by step.
