Electronics For Imaging, Inc. announced that Dome, a commercial print solutions provider headquartered in California, recently purchased EFI VUTEk FabriVU 340 soft signage and VUTEk 5r roll-to-roll printers. 

The new high-volume inkjet printers are to be installed in Dome’s newly renovated, Sacramento, Calif., facility by the end of this year.
 
The purchase is part of a strategic re-invention of the company that also includes merging several locations into the new facility, as well as opening new company sales offices in Chicago and Southern California. The two new presses will replace three models from various manufacturers; once installed, Dome’s superwide-format inkjet graphics operation will exclusively use EFI printers.
 
“We are going into uncharted waters for our company, and we don’t need a vendor, we need a partner to help us succeed,” said Dome President Misha Pavlov. 
 
The 5-meter wide VUTEk 5r model (pictured, right) is designed to be the industry’s most technically advanced LED roll-to-roll production offering, and has the highest speed and resolution in its class, offering superior quality using EFI UltraDrop Technology 7-picoliter print heads. Dome’s printer includes  an inline finishing system for all-in-one printing, x-cutting, slitting and collecting; ID backprinting; double-sided printing; additional white and light colors; and a vacuum table for rigid substrates.
 
Dome is pursuing the print industry’s Sustainable Green Printing (SGP) Partnership, and soft signage also fits well with the company’s effort to expand environmentally friendly solutions.
 
“The VUTEk FabriVU printer gives our customers a greener option with graphics that can be re-used rather than displayed once and thrown away,” Poole said. “Fabric can be rolled into anything and shipped inexpensively where it needs to go, and then the customer can pop it in a frame on site.”
