Gandy Digital innovates the next generation flatbed printers using “NanoDot” Technology. A whole new concept of digital printing that has come of age to extra wide large format printing in Gandy Digital’s Gladi8tor True Flatbed printer. The Gladi8tor comes in two sizes, Gladi8tor “2” has a 4ft X 8ft (1.22m X 2.44m) print size or Gladi8tor “3” with a 6.5ft X 10ft (2m X 3.05m) print size both on a vacuum table. Both models can have a Roll to Roll attachment either 8ft (2.44m) Wide or 10ft (3.05m) Wide.
Gandy has been offering innovative printers for over 35 years known for their reliability and strong support. The Domin8tor and Pred8tor were the latest state of the art flatbed printers with vacuum table and special features that became the standard in the industry.
Gandy Digital has taken the best of both worlds by combining the reliable Domin8tor and Pred8tor and upgraded them with the latest “NanoDot” Technology, introducing the next generation, Gladi8tor true flatbed printer. The Gladi8tor with “NanoDot” Technology, 3 picoliter grayscale print heads gives both smooth Colour and high speed. Gandy also supplies a custom made RIP to maximise the “NanoDot” capabilities. Sharp images just got sharper, with 3 point text really readable. Incredible precision at true 1200 dpi on a Superwide format printer.
Gandy has taken this precision to a new level by creating unmatched smoothness in skin tones and even more impressive is the smooth colours on lighter shaded solid colours. This can only be achieved before with offset printing or photography. Finally a match to the quality of offset printing and photography. Everybody talks about it, Gandy has achieved it.
The Gladi8tor uses the Blade Technology, a key feature innovated by Gandy. This allows for precise prints without the need for time consuming alignment as the heads are pre-aligned by laser precision.
The best news is with all this quality, the speed has dramatically increased.
The Gladi8tor’s biggest advantage is the ability to print up to 120 (4ft X 8ft) boards an hour 3800sqft/hr (350sqm/hr). The “NanoDot” Technology coupled with our inline blade technology gives excellent sharp quality and super fast speeds. Unbelievable speed and quality that you will only believe if you witness with your own eyes.
Gandy has always kept existing customers interest and investment in mind when introducing new printers. The “NanoDot” new technology can also be upgraded on all Gandy Pred8tor and Domin8tor models.
The Gladi8tor will come with an option to take one row of print heads at half the speed or two rows at full speed. You can start with one row of print heads and upgrade to two rows and achieve full speed at a later date. The Gladi8tor will come ready for easy field upgrade.
Gandy will also offer an upgrade path to its existing Pred8tor and Domin8tor customers to start with one row of print heads and later upgrade to two rows and achieve full speed.
The Gladi8tor will have all the features from the Pred8tor and Domin8tor. Here are some of the popular features:
- Crash Sensors that stop for even small objects and save print heads from damage.
- Static Bars that really work in dry climates while keeping prints sharp.
- Automatic head cleaning and wiping station.
- Graphical User Interface simple touch and drag (GUI).
- Powerful vacuum table holds uneven materials flat.
- Automatic head height adjustment.
- Camera built in to assist remote service. Nice idea to avoid expensive visits but getting the job done.
The Gladi8tor has very powerful long lasting LED lamps that cure to perfection even at the fastest speeds and yet keeps its cool.
Gandy introduced the first “multi layer” capability many years ago. The Gladi8tor will have the same feature allowing colour, white, and colour for backlit images, and unlimited multi layer variations with as many colours as you wish.
The Gladi8tor will have the option to get double white blades to print heavier layer of white faster especially effective on darker substrates. Instead of double white you can get single white and varnish. Gandy’s varnish can also act as a very effective primer, giving a dual purpose capability.
Gandy has many years of supplying a UV ink that gives excellent adhesion to many plastics including acrylic. The Gladi8tor will continue to get the same ink formulation for its LED Lamps.
Gandy Digital’s Gladi8tor is the most advanced and groundbreaking Superwide Digital printer in the industry today.
