Liyu International has revealed two brand-new machines at FESPA 2024, including its new flagship flatbed model, the Platinum KCXL+.
Fitted with either 24 or 32 Ricoh Gen6 5pL printheads on beams powered by linear drives, the 2.5m or 3m-wide KCXL+ boasts a significant productivity boost over the KCXL, with a 25% faster top speed. Able to tandem print – printing on one side of the table while the operator loads or unloads the other side – the KCXL+ is also fitted with up to eight channels, meaning it can print and spot varnish, matt or gloss, in a single pass through the machine.
Also launched to market at FESPA is the firm’s new cutter, the Q-Cut 2532, fitted with a 1.8kW CNC router and automatic tool changer and cleaner. Again, the machine manufacturer also releases Liyu’s Q3XL hybrid press, capable of 2880 dpi and up to 120 sqm/hr as the press is fitted with CMYK, light cyan, light magenta, white and varnish.
