EFI Pro 24f LED Flatbed Printer: Power, Precision, and Unparalleled Performance

The EFI Pro 24f LED flatbed printer is a powerhouse designed for professionals who demand the best in image quality, precision, and productivity. Equipped with advanced LED curing technology, variable-drop grayscale head technology, and a true flatbed design with a moving gantry and multi-zoned vacuum table, the Pro 24f sets the standard for flatbed printing. Whether producing graphic arts, art reproductions, membrane switches, or specialty applications like overlays, this printer delivers superior results on materials up to 2 inches (5 cm) thick. It’s also ideal for overflow printing and high-value applications where image quality, speed, and accuracy are essential to meeting client demands.

Key Benefits of the EFI Pro 24f

• True Flatbed Architecture: Features a 4 ft x 8 ft (1.2 m x 2.4 m) flatbed design with a moving carriage and gantry. The vacuum system holds media stationary on a flat surface, ensuring precise registration for multiple overprints, panels, or intricate designs.
• Exceptional Color Versatility: Includes four colors (CMYK) plus dual white channels for single-pass and multilayer printing. This setup is ideal for creating vibrant images with layered effects and printing on clear, colored, or specialty substrates.
• Variable-Drop Grayscale Technology: Achieve superior imaging with sharper details, smoother gradients, and outstanding fine lines. Variable-drop grayscale ensures optimized ink usage without compromising quality.
• Advanced LED Curing Technology: EFI’s “cool cure” LED system reduces energy consumption, minimizes waste, and supports thinner substrates. It enables a broader range of applications, enhancing versatility and sustainability.
• Flexible Vacuum Zones: Features four user-selectable vacuum zones designed to match common media sizes, ensuring efficient hold-down, preventing unintended media movement, and enabling quick job transitions without masking.
• Edge-to-Edge Printing: Enables full-bleed printing for reduced finishing time, saving both labor and costs while delivering precise, professional results.
• Multi-Board Printing: Print multiple boards of varying sizes simultaneously, maximizing productivity and streamlining workflow for high-volume projects.
• EFI ProGraphics Series UV Inks: Choose from a variety of ink options tailored to meet specific application needs, whether for rigid, flexible, or specialty substrates.
• EFI Fiery® proServer Core: Includes a robust digital front end with FAST RIP acceleration technology, RIP and print-on-demand functionality, and the ability to process pre-ripped files directly from the printer interface.
