Uniform Dragoon

The fundamental benefit of the Dragoon is in it’s unbeatable running costs. Historically the grand format buyer had to invest in hugely expensive systems and rely on their low running costs and volume production capacity in order to make a viable return on their investment. Today, with the Uniform Dragoon you can compete on that level without the huge upfront costs.

The grand format digital market was built on Spectra technology. The Uniform Dragoon uses printheads from Spectra, heads that are seen in many leading high-end wide-format systems including those from Durst, Inca, NUR, Vutek and more.

These industry proven printheads make low cost, high volume production a reality - in the Dragoon this performance is, for the first time, genuinely affordable, with prices lower than competing systems built on office-based print technology.

Profitable performance...

Spectra printheads allow the Uniform Dragoon to provide around-the-clock high speed production. In it’s fastest print mode you can print over 1000 metres of saleable print every single day. Match that capacity to low production costs and the profit potential of the Dragoon becomes obvious.

UQ = Uniform Quality
For enhanced quality without reduction in print speed, the Uniform Dragoon features 6 colour printing. By adding reduced tint cyan and magenta inks you can achieve smoother tonal transitions, reduce visible graininess, particularly in lower resolution modes used in banner and billboard production, and get an overall improvement in print quality that will put you a step ahead of the competition.
