Inkcups launches Helix High Throw Printer
The printer has been designed to accommodate height variations while decorating cylindrical and conical products and is also well-suited to challenging items like balls and planters
The Topi 5 and Oryx 5 models have been released by swissQprint, built on its Generation 5 flatbed platform, but aimed at users with small to medium print volumes
SwissQprint has introduced two new flatbed models to its line-up of print solutions, tailored to users with high quality requirements and small to medium production volumes.
The Topi 5 and Oryx 5 are the latest models in swissQprint’s Generation 5 line-up, which was first officially launched in January 2025.
The two differently sized models are both immediately available for purchase – the Topi 5 is a 3.2×2m flatbed capable of producing up to 126sq m/h, while the 2.5m Oryx 5 offers an output of up to 114sq m/h, 26 percent more than the previous Oryx 4 model.
The presses have been developed to cater for lower-output businesses, as opposed to those with higher-volume needs for whom the Swiss manufacturer offers the Impala, Nyala, and Kudu flatbed models with outputs up to 341 m2/h.
Carmen Eicher, chief of sales and marketing officer at swissQprint, says: “With the new, harmonised overall range, we have a tailor-made solution for every size of business, with Oryx and Topi being aimed at users with high-quality standards and small to medium print volumes.
“Aside from their lower productivity and price points, Oryx and Topi are identical to the other Generation 5 models and offer a whole range of competitive advantages.”
All presses in the generation feature ten freely configurable colour channels designed for maximum versatility, with options for UV ‘neon’, orange, varnish, or primer. All the presses also come with a maximum resolution of 1350 dpi.
Generation 5 has been built on a whole new foundation and are based on a completely reworked machine concept, with electronics and software included. The presses come equipped with new linear drives developed to deliver maximum precision and speed.
All swissQprint flatbed printers have a varied range of add-on options, allowing users to build their printer modularly according to the business’ needs.
The printers include roll-to-roll and dual roll options, an oversize board option for rigid media up to four metres long, and a collector paper option that eliminates clean-up work for operators who regularly do full bleed printing.
The Swiss manufacturer will exhibit at this year's edition of The Print Show, taking place in Hall 3 of the NEC Birmingham from September 23rd to 25th. Solutions demonstrated at the show will include the Kudu, which launched the fifth generation of flatbeds.
The Topi 5 and Oryx 5 offer max speeds of 126sq m/h and 114sq m/h respectively. A deep dive from Michael Walker into the Nyala 5 and the wider Generation 5 of flatbeds, originally published in SignLink magazine, can also be found on our website.
