EFI Showcases Latest Hybrid and Roll-to-Roll Innovations at ISA International Sign Expo 2026

Press release from the issuing company:

Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (EFI™) is showcasing its latest hybrid and roll-to-roll LED inkjet printing technologies at the ISA International Sign Expo®, taking place April 8-10 in Orlando, Florida. Located at booth #701, EFI is demonstrating the EFI VUTEk^® M3h hybrid (pictured below) and EFI Pro 33r roll-to-roll LED (shown above) printers, designed to help sign and display producers increase productivity, expand capabilities, and capture higher-value opportunities.

“The sign and display industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and print providers are looking for new ways to differentiate and grow,” said Todd Zimmerman, CRO of EFI. “ISA Sign Expo is the perfect venue for them to view firsthand how EFI can help them expand their possibilities and their profitability. We’re excited to connect with customers and showcase technologies built to meet the demands of today’s production environments.”

Versatile hybrid production with the EFI VUTEk M3h printer

The 3.2-meter EFI VUTEk M3h hybrid flatbed/roll-fed LED printer is designed for high-volume, production-level printing across both rigid and flexible media in one innovative footprint. Combining versatility with performance, the VUTEk M3h printer enables print providers to expand into new applications while maintaining high image quality and fast turnaround times. Users can take advantage of premium-margin applications with advanced print capabilities and embellishments, including multi-layer printing up to five layers with CMYK, white, and optional clear inks.

The EFI VUTEk M3h hubrid flatbed/roll-fed LED printer

The printer handles board, sheet, or rolled media up to two inches thick, giving sign and display graphics businesses the opportunity to explore new materials or applications and differentiate their offering without compromising on print quality or productivity. Paired with the Fiery® proServer Premium digital front end, the VUTEk M3h printer delivers high-quality output at production speeds of up to 77 boards per hour and resolutions up to 2400 dpi.

High performance roll-to-roll printing with the EFI Pro 33r printer

EFI is also featuring the 3.2-meter EFI Pro 33r roll-to-roll LED printer, built to deliver high-quality imaging and production-level printing for demanding sign and display environments. The Pro 33r printer helps businesses increase capacity and lower operating costs with fast printing in key production modes, multi-roll printing, media savings, efficient ink usage, and less maintenance. Instant on/off LED curing increases uptime, while fewer printhead replacements help lower maintenance time and costs.

The EFI Pro 33r printer is offered with value-added options, such as Y-slitters, white ink printing, UltraClear Coat, and automatic blockout and backlit printing, to expand capabilities, improve productivity, and optimize workflows.

Expanding applications with EFI Transform-TF LED Inks

EFI is also highlighting its Transform-TF LED inks, engineered for thermoforming and non-formed applications and designed to unlock new, profitable opportunities in high-impact 3D graphics. These inks enable efficient production of custom formed signage, point-of-purchase displays, and specialty applications across a wide range of thermoformable plastics, as well as traditional sign and display media. With direct-to-substrate printing, minimal setup, and prints that are immediately ready for forming, providers can deliver thermoforming jobs quickly and cost-effectively, from one-offs to longer runs.

Available in CMYK plus white, EFI Transform-TF inks offer a wide color gamut, strong density for backlit applications, and the flexibility required for multilayer printing. They are built to withstand heating and forming, delivering excellent elongation, adhesion, and durability without cracking or loss of image quality. Transform-TF inks are available for use with EFI Pro 30f+, 16h+, 30h+ and VUTEk M3h printers, helping businesses select a printer that fits their size and production requirements.

Go wide and win with EFI Pro+ Series printers

EFI Pro+ Series printers will be featured in EFI partner exhibits across the show floor. Visitors can see the 65-inch EFI Pro 16h+ hybrid printer at the LexJet booth (#1301), demonstrating high-quality imaging and production-level printing of a wide range of rigid and flexible applications. Nazdar SourceOne (booth #2235) will showcase the 3.2-meter EFI Pro 30h+ hybrid printer, designed for sign and display graphics providers looking to expand their print capabilities, versatility, and productivity.
