GLADI8TOR

GLADI8TOR

 

The Gladi8tor is Gandy’s new development based on it’s predecessors, the Pred8tor and Domin8tor which have been coming off the production line at Gandy Digital’s factory in Canada for over 4 years. The most reliable high resolution, large format digital UV flatbed printer in the market giving exceptional value that just got better with the introduction of the Gladi8tor. 

The new Gladi8tor comes with 2 main options. The first offering smooth 6 color (CMYK&LM&LC) quality plus double white solving the white density hurdle. Or double CMYK for twice the speed making the Gladi8tor the fastest printer in its category topping 240sqm. We guarantee that you will be surprised with the quality of the samples printed at 240sqm.

The Gladi8tor like the Pred8tor and Domin8tor is a True UV flatbed printer with a vacuum table. The Gladi8tor comes in 2 print sizes. The Gladi8tor 1224 has a print size of 1.22m (4ft) X 2.44m ( 8ft) and the Gladi8tor 2030 has a print size of 2m (6ft6in) X 3.05m (10ft). The Gladi8tor 1224 also comes with a 2.44m ( 8ft) wide roll-to-roll option that achieves the same print quality without compromising true flatbed capability.

Print quality and speed on the Gladi8tor is driven by the inline ‘Blade’ print head configuration system, printing 25.4cm (10 inch) wide swath using 6-picoliter variable dot Ricoh print heads. This system eliminates head to head alignment and gives incredible sharp images.

The Gladi8tor using the blade system allows 8 blades to print with accuracy either with higher quality smoother photographic images or with dramatically higher speeds. The Gladi8tor also gives great flexibility that allows you to start with a 4 color system and upgrade easily to 6 color or double speed. Call us to discuss all the options.

You can easily print materials with different thicknesses as the head height adjusts automatically without the need to manually check it (maximum media thickness 50mm / 2”).

The new ‘layered’ printing option makes printing multi-layered colored images and white, simple with a onetime setup and print process. Now you can do backlit images sandwiching white or doubled sided banners with white and black sandwiched between images.

Cleaning is much easier with the fully automated built-in head blotting system, no need to wipe by hand.

Operation of the Gladi8tor is simple with Gandy Digital’s own touch and drag GUI (Graphical User Interface). This is a true mobile operation device enabling step and repeat, rotate, delete ripped images, create jobs allowing interactive trouble shooting via online diagnostic. Profiles and software can also be updated with the online system.

Gandy Digital has a Crash sensor available on the Gladi8tor that truely protects printheads not only against large objects but also against film that can get under the printhead carriage. This option is a true working innovation. 

Gandy Digital has innovated a UV ink that gives excellent adhesion to many plastics including acrylic. And on top of that ink usage is minimum making your production costs the lowest with the Gladi8tor. Gandy Digital’s Gladi8tor is the most advanced and groundbreaking Grand Format Digital Printer in the industry today
