The Nyala flatbed printer has led the European sales statistics for the past nine years. The latest model from swissQprint also makes its début in these statistics: Kudu takes third place.
The Nyala flatbed printer embodies the symbiosis of premium print quality, multifunctionality and efficiency, according to manufacturer swissQprint. It is this combination which generates such popularity. And confirmation comes from the market: for nine years in a row, the Nyala model has been the premier choice in the category ‘UV flatbed/hybrid printers >60” (152.4 cm) wide in the 130,000 – 650,000 EUR price segment’. The data comes from Geneva-based market research institute Infosource.

Rêve means dream in French, and his daughter Érika Pepin plays a big part in this vision.

Bauernfeind Druck + Display (Grünburg, Austria) has digitized its display and packaging production workflow since its founding in 2010. The advantages associated with this were presented to the company’s existing and potential customers at an Open House.

With our fully digital production technology, we can meet these requirements in an optimal manner. We can efficiently and economically produce small to medium batch sizes while increasing product variety.”
