Over the course of the next few weeks we at King Displays will take our followers on a tour of the equipment within our shop. This week we start with EFI Vutek GS3250 Flatbed & Roll-to-Roll UV printer.

Without compromising quality or productivity, the EFI VUTEk GS3250 extends

our printing capabilities by offering a wider range of applications – from exhibition

graphics, fine art, photographic reproduction and point-of-purchase displays to signage,

banners, posters and commercial graphics. EFI’s VUTEk GS3250 prints to a large range

of direct to substrate materials and replaces multiple lower productivity printers so we

can be more productive than ever before.
