SMART Jet Expedio™ 5000 units roll out ...
If you've been thinking about ordering a SMART Jet Expedio™ 5000 wide-format UV inkjet production printer now is the time!
Following several months of successful beta testing at sites in both Europe and the U.S., worldwide commercial shipments of the new SMART Jet Expedio™ wide-format UV inkjet production printers recently commenced. This exceptionally versatile machine, which we previewed at several industry events during 2004, is a new 5-meter/16-foot superwide inkjet production printer that uses UV-curable inks. What’s so special about the new SMART Jet Expedio™?
It represents a real breakthrough in terms of speed, quality, environmental friendliness, superwide format versatility, and ability to print on virtually any media. In fact, we believe it has the potential to revolutionize the wide-format inkjet production printing marketplace.
It can print 8-color, 720 dpi, high quality indoor signage for close-up viewing, as well as billboards and other superwide applications at super-fast speeds up to 150 square meters per hour and its multi-roll printing capability even further increases productivity.
And its use of UV-curable inks eliminates the need for costly solvent disposal equipment and addresses the requirements of environmental regulations imposed in some areas.
This means it does not require expensive, specially coated substrates for good ink adhesion.
During beta testing, SMART Jet Expedio™ customers were producing sellable prints off the machine in as little as three days after installation. The machines have beenrunning exceptionally reliably since then and they were being used for full-time production printing during the beta test phase.
Beta testing also verified the full versatility of the machine, with customers printing jobs on a variety of media types including PVC, paper, mesh and other specialty media. The beta test sites also took full advantage of the productivity SMART Jet Expedio™ 5000 offers by printing jobs of sellable quality at speeds up to 150 square meters per hour.
Among the jobs produced during the beta test phase are many large-scale outdoor applications that leverage the machine’s 5-meter/16 ft.-wide format.
Gescom in Italy produced a large building wrap installed in Rome during its testing period, and Maserdotti, also in Italy, has been printing jobs on flex PVC and mesh at a volume of approximately 3,000 square meters per week, mostly in 4-colors at speeds 105 square meters per hour, including banners and a grand format indoor application job for Nike.
Today, we’re printing between 12,000 and 14,000 square meters of output a month with SMART Jet Expedio™.”

Momentum builds behind new SMART Jet Expedio™
Momentum continues to build fast behind the new SMART Jet Expedio™ 5000 wide-format UV inkjet production printers.
In response to strong demand for the machine - a trend we expect to continue - we have opened a new production facility for the SMART Jet Expedio™ to increase our production capacity. The new 7,750 square foot (720 square meters) manufacturing facility is located in the same industrial park in West Vancouver, Canada, as are our SMART Jet HiQ+® ,UV Pro™, and HiQ™ assembly lines. This gives us a total of 33,300 square feet (3,100 square meters) for wide-format printer production.
Our production capacity for the new SMART Jet Expedio™ line is approximately 20 machines per quarter. We're building units now and we'll be ready once beta testing is concluded towards the end of 2004.
Beta testing of the machine in the field continues to progress well. There are two beta machines installed and running in Europe. And recently, the first beta machine in the U.S. was installed at Best Buy Banner of Riverside, California.
Best Buy Banner has long been a pioneer, delivering innovative new products to the wholesale sign community for over two decades. The company provides print production and fabrication of a wide range of applications including banners, backdrops, bus and vehicle wraps, wall murals and pole banners. And it was one of the first companies in the U.S. to purchase the SMART Jet UV Pro™ flatbed inkjet press.
With business continuing to grow, Best Buy Banner turned to GSS INTERNATIONAL again for another printer with which to expand its production capacity.
Says Kriese, "We're always looking to go after new markets. We wanted a machine that could handle fabrics so we could get into outdoor banners and fabric applications. Even though the SMART Jet Expedio™ is a superwide, 16-foot printer, its speed, quality, and versatility make it so much more than just a billboard printer. It uses UV-curable inks and can print very large banners for outdoor applications - work we would otherwise have had to produce on a screen press."
Adds Peter Gomez, CFO and general manager at Best Buy Banner, "We found the SMART Jet Expedio™ to be very well engineered. And the UV-curable inks deliver a very crisp image with no overspray, while retaining the physical flexibility required for use on outdoor fabric applications. The machine is also environmentally friendly which is important here in California."
Kriese concludes, "As the first company in the U.S. to install a SMART Jet Expedio™, we feel it gives us a competitive advantage and it helps us to become a true 'one-stop shop' offering the widest range of services possible to our customers."
If you haven't placed your order for a SMART Jet Expedio™ yet, contact your Regional GSS INTERNATIONAL sales representative and find out what all the excitement is about! 
Beta testing of SMART Jet Expedio™ has begun ... Beta testing for the exciting new SMART Jet Expedio™ 5000 superwide UV inkjet press began last month at Gescom S.p.A of Viterbo, Italy. The beta test phase for the new machine is expected to last from three to five months with commercial shipments planned to commence towards the end of this year.
Gescom has a longstanding relationship with GSS INTERNATIONAL LLC. The company served as a beta test site for the SMART Jet UV Pro™ flatbed inkjet press last year and also operates seven SMART Jet HiQ+® production presses and three SMART Jet UV Pro flatbed presses. The company's expertise ranges from point-of-sale banners, self-adhesive vinyl signage and vehicle wraps, to mesh wraps for building sites and a growing business in exhibition graphics.
Says Sandra Paolucci, managing director at Gescom, "a strong belief in the future of UV-curable inks printing technology for both roll-to-roll and flatbed printing applications" was behind the company's addition of the SMART Jet Expedio™ to its equipment roster.
"We plan to increase our production of textile and flag printing applications with the machine - applications that are better suited for UV-curable inks," she says.
Adds Dr. Ettore Segatori, Owner of Gescom S.p.A. "The unique combination of speed, quality and flexibility characteristics in the SMART Jet Expedio™ will help us to attract new business as well as further broaden the range of services we offer to our current customers. It fits perfectly into our business model of high productivity and fast job turnaround."
SMART Jet Expedio™, previewed earlier this year at both the ISA show in the U.S. and at Drupa in Germany is a 5-meter/16-foot superwide inkjet production printer that incorporates UV-curable inks. Its speed, quality, environmental friendliness and ability to print on virtually any media available mean this new superwide printer is destined to revolutionize the wide-format inkjet production printing marketplace.
SMART Jet Expedio™ can print 8-color, 720 dpi, high quality indoor signage for close-up viewing, as well as billboards and other superwide applications at super-fast speeds up to 150 square meters (1600 square feet) per hour - making it both productive and exceptionally versatile. Its multi-roll printing capability even further increases productivity.
SMART Jet Expedio™ will print on a variety of media, including standard less expensive uncoated substrates that ensure low operating costs and higher profit margins. With SMART Jet Expedio™ users can also explore new premium priced printing applications on specialty media.
The inkjet press' use of UV-curable inks eliminates the need for costly solvent disposal equipment and addresses the requirements of new environmental regulations in some areas. The UV-curable inks also mean the machine will not require expensive, specially coated substrates for good ink adhesion.
If you're looking for a machine to produce 5-meter/16-foot wide prints, whether to replace old technology or to increase you production capacity, check out the new SMART Jet Expedio™.
