Landa Corporation has announced six new Landa Nanographic presses, including three sheetfed models. The presses employ the company’s NanoInk technology and colorants, which comprise water-based nano-sized pigments that are heated to become a dry polymeric film, which is then transferred to paper or film without pretreatment. Landa reports that the film image instantly bonds to the surface, forming an abrasion-resistant layer. Each of the three sheetfed presses can print in up to 8 colors and can use spot and specialty colors. The Landa S5 is a 20-in. entry-level press that can print single-sided at speeds of up to 11,000 sheets/hr onto media from 60-350 gsm; the Landa S7 is a 29-in. press capable of single-sided or double-sided printing at speeds of up to 12,000 sheets/hr (60- to 350-gsm media); and the Landa S10 is a 41-in. press able to print single-sided or double-sided at up to 13,000 sheets/hr (60- to 400-gsm media). The presses also feature an oversized Landa Touchscreen user interface; real-time graphics show the status of all press functions and stream live video images of each of the key printer stations. The presses are prototypes; projected availability is the latter half of 2013.
