It is too early to tell how exactly they are going to do this, but what we do know for sure is that there are many technical challenges ahead; in that sense the pledge from Guy Gecht to help Landa with the right technology here feels almost similar to John F. Kennedy’s promise to go to the moon, which inspired a nation to get behind NASA and pushed them to new heights.

Quick Printing’s take on the new Landa-EFI partnership, which reportedly will yield the digital output of nano ink particles at gigapixel speeds.

Ett nytt strategiskt samarbete mellan Efi och Landa slöts i slutet av januari i år. Samarbetet ska resultera i en frontend, Landa DFE, särskilt framtagen för Landas nanografiska printlösningar.

A EFI e a Landa firmaram recentemente uma parceria estratégica para o desenvolvimento de um Digital Front End (DFE) para a linha de impressoras Nanográficas Landa.

El acuerdo une a dos empresas pioneras en el sector de la impresión digital con la visión de cambiar radicalmente cómo se producen las aplicaciones actuales. Landa y sus prensas digitales con tecnología nanográfica presentadas en Drupa 2012, proveen soluciones revolucionarias para el mercado de impresión digital, mientras que EFI es líder en tecnología de flujo de trabajo digital.

GUY GECHT WAS JUST AS CONFIDENT as Landa in Las Vegas, telling 1,500 delegates that “Landa Nanographic Printing Presses have the potential to accelerate the migration of mainstream commercial printing and packaging to digital printing. The Landa DFE provides a proven, ultra-high-speed and well-integrated front-end platform that Landa customers will require.”

Nanography is an emerging technology that has been widely discussed as “next-generation printing” in both the commercial printingand product packaging sectors. One of the many goals of the SGIA Journal is to inform the specialty graphics community of significant, emerging technologies so they can make the best decisions for their businesses. Will your company adopt nanography at a future date? Maybe, maybe not. Should you understand it today? Absolutely.

"Judging by the samples that were distributed in Chicago during PRINT 13, the press has made substantial leaps and bounds in production quality since its drupa 2012 debut."

Despite forging a much closer bond with Komori, the door still remains open to others. "We still expect Nanography to become a universal standard, but we are moving one step at a time, and that step starts with Komori.” (Benny Landa)
