The NUbis CISS from NUtec is designed for wide-format machines.
Wide-Format Online reported on NUtec’s NUbis (bulk ink system) CISS (continuous ink supply system), which is designed to work in Durst and HP-FB wide-format printers alongside the company’s NUsolution inkjet inks. The system, launched at the FESPA show in South Africa last month, is said to provide “the performance and reliability of a cartridge with the economy of a bulk ink system”.
The demonstration at the event also allowed the company to show “the full extent of the unique system’s capability with all the additional components in place”, with expansions of up to eight 1,000ml or 2,000ml ink pouches also available. The ink pouches are “uniquely designed” and allow for high-speed wide-format printing with a “reduced risk of nozzle drop outs”, and can be replaced during printing for “uninterrupted production and maximum machine performance”.
The NUbis system is “designed as a closed ink delivery system”, and allows the tank to remain “free of debris and other foreign particles” that are “often found in a conventional bulk ink system”. It is also available in NUtec’s Emerald and Topaz ranges for Epson machines, and there are “solid plans to expand” to other ink ranges, as well as UV inks. NUtec’s components for the NUsolution series were also launched, and include “specially-designed adaptor caps and aluminium positioning plates”.
