Low CO₂ emissions
As a swissQ user, we’re keep our ecological footprint small.
- Shipping distances are short: 80% of suppliers, providing 90% of all machine parts, are Swiss companies and many are located nearby.
- Moreover, the printers are 100% developed and produced at the swissQprint headquarters in Switzerland.
- The UV printing process requires neither heating nor ventilation, which keeps energy requirements low.
- LED lamps consume little electricity and have low emissions.
- swissQprint products have a service life of up to twelve years.
- They are low maintenance, which minimises service calls and consumable parts that need replacing.
Free of harmful substances
With our swissQ, we get production done without unnecessarily polluting the environment.
- Ozone emissions are not an issue in UV LED printing.
- Thanks to LED technology, toxic waste is eliminated.
- swissQprint inks are VOC-free and Greenguard Gold certified
High energy efficiency
swissQprint saves not only your budget but also natural resources.
Our current flatbed printers are highly energy-efficient, as evidenced by their ISO 20690:2018 certification. swissQprint is the first manufacturer of large format printers to put their machines through this test.
In a performance comparison with 3 kWh –
“With 3 kWh a Nyala (swissQ flatbed) prints 200 square metres – the area of a tennis court. And a Tesla can drive around 16 kilometres. Two electric kettles need the same amount of energy per hour as a Nyala.”
At Fine Cut we have two operating SwissQ printers to fulfil the majority of our digital print jobs.
