Rand-Whitney Installs New EFI VUTEk M3h Digital Printer
Our team is excited to announce a major milestone in our production capabilities: the installation of the EFI VUTEk® M3h, a next‑generation super wide hybrid LED printer designed to dramatically expand the range, speed, efficiency, and quality of what we can deliver for our customers.
This investment marks a significant step forward as we move deeper into high‑volume, production‑level printing. The VUTEk M3h doesn’t just upgrade the way we print—it transforms what’s possible.
A Machine Built for Versatility
The VUTEk M3h allows us to print on an exceptionally wide range of rigid and flexible substrates, including SBS, corrugated, plastic corrugated, foam board and more. With the ability to handle materials up to 126 inches (3.2 meters) wide and 2 inches thick, we can now support larger, more ambitious applications across retail graphics, signage, display fabrication, and unique custom projects.
Production‑Level Speeds With Premium Image Quality
Speed doesn’t come at the cost of visual fidelity. The VUTEk M3h delivers:
- Resolution up to 2400 dpi
- CMYK plus white standard
- Best‑in‑class white ink
- Spot gloss capabilities with clear ink
With production rates reaching 77 boards per hour, the printer ensures we can turn around large‑scale projects faster—without compromising clarity, color accuracy, or overall print performance.
Advanced engineering, including a magnetic linear drive and high‑speed ink jetting system, ensures consistently precise dot placement—meaning sharper images, cleaner text, and vibrant, accurate color output across every job.
Advanced Automation for Efficiency and Reliability
The VUTEk M3h brings a suite of smart, automated features that make printing smoother, safer, and more efficient for our operators:
- Six‑zone automated vacuum table for perfect media hold-down
- Anti‑static technology to reduce print defects
- Automated printhead cleaning
The result: fewer errors, faster setup, and more consistent output across every substrate type.
A Strategic Investment in Growth
Installing the EFI VUTEk M3h represents more than a new machine on our production floor. It’s a long‑term investment in creative potential. With its combination of speed, flexibility, and automation, the M3h strengthens our ability to serve clients with precision, scale, and rapid turnaround—while keeping our operation future‑focused and competitive.
We look forward to showcasing new applications, expanding what we can produce, and continuing to deliver premium work powered by the most advanced print technology available today.
