Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (EFI) is bringing a broad range of new hybrid, roll-to-roll, and textile inkjet innovations to FESPA Global Print Expo 2026, taking place 19-22 May at Fira Barcelona Gran Via. 

Visitors to the EFI stand (Hall 3, #C85) will see new printers in action. Such printers include the new EFI VUTEk M3h X hybrid LED printer, the new EFI VUTEk FabriVU 340 i8 eight-color dye sublimation printer, the EFI VUTEk X5r roll-to-roll LED printer, and the EFI VUTEk Q3h XP seven-color hybrid printer. Each printer is designed to help sign and display producers scale output, diversify applications, and drive profitable growth.

“FESPA is a global meeting point for print innovation, and it’s the ideal platform to demonstrate how EFI technologies help our customers grow and adapt in an increasingly dynamic market,” said Frank Pennisi, CEO. “From soft signage to super wide production and high-end hybrid printing, our portfolio is designed to give print providers the flexibility and efficiency they need to stay competitive and profitable across every segment. We are especially excited to publicly launch two of our newest offerings, the VUTEk FabriVU 340 i8 dye sublimation and VUTEk M3h X hybrid presses here at FESPA, and how they help our customers put brilliance in motion.”

Printers on Display

For sign and display producers, the VUTEk M3h X printer delivers high-quality imaging at high speeds and true hybrid versatility for board and roll printing in one system. VUTEk M3h X includes robust and automated design features, advanced print capabilities like white ink and multilayer printing up to nine layers, and energy-efficient LED curing.

Making its debut at FESPA, the 3.4-metre VUTEk FabriVU 340 i8 dye-sublimation printer with inline fixation is designed to meet the color-fidelity demands of retail, event, and branded environments. It has eight-color printing that reproduces a wider gamut, renders richer tones and smoother gradients, and more accurately matches brand colors.

EFI will also be showing the VUTEk Q3h XP high-performance hybrid LED printer in a new seven-color configuration. The VUTEk Q3h XP printer offers versatile flatbed and roll-to-roll printing capabilities, production-level throughput, and advanced media handling and automation options.

EFI is also highlighting the 5.2-metre VUTEk X5r roll-to-roll LED printer, engineered for high-volume indoor and outdoor graphics production with an emphasis on workflow automation and reduced operator intervention.

Additional Innovations

EFI will also showcase the capabilities of its single-pass digital inkjet innovations built on the proven EFI Nozomi platform. 

Featured technologies will include the new 1.7-metre-wide EFI Nozomi 17000 SD platform for signage and display applications, alongside the evolved EFI Nozomi 17000 LED platform for sustainable, high-graphic-quality corrugated packaging and display production.

Sample textile applications will also be featured on the EFI stand to showcase the output of the latest technologies, including the EFI Reggiani ecoTERRA water-based pigment ink solution. 

Designed to simplify textile production by eliminating the need for pre-treatment, steaming, washing, and stentering, the ecoTERRA solution removes multiple process steps and reduces the requirement for large, pre-treated fabric inventories and ancillary equipment. 

Also highlighted will be the new EFI Reggiani ecoNEXT Plus industrial digital textile printer engineered for direct-to-fabric pigment printing. Powered by Reggiani ecoTERRA pigment inks, the Reggiani NEXT Plus printer features up to seven colors for a wide, vivid, and consistent color gamut and is optimized for printing on non-elastic woven fabrics.
