Ben Woodruff, Head of National Sales, InkTec Europe, said: "The LXi8 will open up exciting new printing opportunities for sign and display companies, thanks to its speed and efficiency coupled with optimal printing results.
"We're hoping to attract a huge amount of interest from potential customers looking to take advantage of our new developments and upgrade their current equipment. As well as its stunning top speed the LXi8 has a host of new features including InkTec's latest generation LED-UV ink."
InkTec will also be showcasing its latest inks and media on neighbouring stand J20, including:
The newest additions to its Eco Solvent range - these environmentally friendly inks are specifically designed to improve printing performance for Mimaki and Roland printers without releasing harmful chemicals and VOCs.
Enhancing its sublimation inks range, InkTec has developed a new ink for specific print heads for Epson printers including the DX4, DX5 and DX7.
A new latex media developed specifically for HP latex printers, which is tacky without being sticky and has the ability to re-apply and stay in position. It is available in satin and gloss finishes and is very competitive on price.
The InkTec-Europe team will be joined at the show by colleagues from the home of InkTec in South Korea, including CEO of InkTec Dr Chung.
Dr Chung said: "I am delighted to be attending this worldwide launch, which is a fitting way to celebrate our achievements over the last 25 years.
"As a manufacturer of printers, inks and media it's so exciting to see how our ranges come together to maximise the printing possibilities and new business opportunities for our customers.
