The Sprinter, available from Protea Graphics in South Africa, is the widest colour thermal printer on the market, offering higher resolution, durability and excellent capacity.

Sprinter is among the fastest large format printers on the market, printing any AO poster in one minute, and offering throughput of 60 square metres per hour. Hardware-based RIP processes images on the fly. There is no pre-production and post-printing, which ensures a smooth, cost saving workflow from input to final output.

The printouts, which are printed directly on most standard vinyls and a wide variety of substrates, are ready for use, require no coating or lamination and offer outstanding resistance to humidity, UV light, water, abrasion, industrial and cleaning chemicals. Sprinter's vinyl prints are extremely durable, remaining bright and clear for as long as five years.

Sprinter's print on demand capability delivers top quality results with 400 dpi glossy finish and over 16 million colours, including exclusive custom tailored spot colour printing, cutting print costs and guaranteeing consistency and total colour accuracy. This ensures vivid, photo-realistic images alongside crisp, clear text.

The printer is designed as a complete system with no hardware and dedicated, user-friendly software. Included are a Pentium PC control station with hardware RIP cards, and software for loading and managing files operating the printer and controlling all system settings, including automatic tiling options. It is roll-fed, with a print width of 36" suited to almost all print lengths. It is reliable, easy to operate and requires minimal maintenance and has no hidden costs.

Sprinter requires a small work space and no special facilities to get right to work, which means it can be used almost anywhere. Environmentally friendly engineering ensures operation free of fumes and hazardous chemicals.
