High-quality imaging at high speeds and true hybrid versatility
Designed for sign and display producers looking to scale into high-volume, production-level printing, the EFI VUTEk M3h X printer delivers exceptional print quality at impressive speeds, alongside true hybrid versatility for both rigid board and roll media within a single system. This flexible wide-format printer enables businesses to expand into new applications and unlock additional revenue opportunities without the need for extra equipment.
Engineered for dependable, automated performance, the EFI VUTEk M3h X features advanced printing capabilities including white ink, multilayer printing, and energy-efficient LED curing technology. These production-enhancing features help print service providers lower operating costs, improve profit margins, speed up turnaround times, and stand out in a competitive market.
Combining accessible investment costs with premium production performance, the EFI VUTEk M3h X makes high-quality industrial printing more attainable for growing sign and display businesses.
True hybrid versatility
Print on rigid and flexible media in one footprint — up to 3.2 metres wide and up to 5.08 cm thick — with fast changeover between flatbed and roll-to-roll printing setups.
High-volume throughput
Deliver production-level performance up to 105 boards per hour (392 m²/hr). Additionally, the continuous print and multi-queue capabilities keep jobs running efficiently with continuous media loading that detects the next board as it’s loaded — enabling two-up printing without loading boards at the same time.
Exceptional image quality at speed
Achieve sharp detail and vibrant colour with resolution up to 3,000 dpi and 7pL/14pL greyscale printing. In addition, the printer’s magnetic linear drive, advanced controls, and high-speed jetting deliver precise dot placement for sharper images.
Efficient six-zone vacuum hold-down
An automated, user-selectable six-zone vacuum system provides strong media hold-down for accurate registration and two-up printing, while helping lower power consumption and reduce operational noise.
Dual-roll printing
Run two rolls simultaneously — each up to 152 cm wide — and even print different jobs on each roll to maximise productivity.
Best-in-class white ink and multilayer printing
Differentiate with EFI’s best-in-class white ink in both opacity and smooth gradients. In addition, multilayer printing in up to nine layers in a single pass delivers premium, high-value display applications.
Optional clear ink for impact and effects
The optional clear ink can be used full flood to enhance an entire image or as a spot in selected areas to add extra pop to colours or special effects to graphics. Clear ink can be printed simultaneously with white and in line with the other colours.
Lower costs and greener production with LED curing
EFI’s LED curing technology features instant on/off operation, uses less power, and requires less maintenance than conventional UV systems. As a result, users benefit from more uptime, lower operating costs, and less waste. Moreover, it expands your media range to include thinner, lower-cost, and heat-sensitive substrates.
Next-generation Genuine EFI LED inks
Get consistent, reliable performance with inks formulated specifically for the VUTEk M3h X printer. Excellent open time reduces the need to purge or wipe between jobs, while reliable jetting supports uptime. The inks deliver excellent adhesion, elongation, and water resistance — and are environmentally friendly (virtually no VOCs, no heavy metals, TPO- and THFA-free).
Fiery Driven
The Fiery® proServer Premium digital front end streamlines production with powerful RIP performance optimized for VUTEk printers and advanced color management and production tools.
