February 12, 2025
Caldera has announced the official support of new swissQprint printers for CalderaRIP Version 18. These new swissQprint drivers expand CalderaRIP’s long list of supported peripherals for large-format printing.
New drivers include the Nyala 5 and Impala 5. swissQprint is taking its flatbed range to a new level of productivity, precision and application diversity based off a totally reworked platform. The new models are 23% faster than their predecessors and all come with 10 freely configurable colour channels.
“Our flatbed Generation 5 is based on the same robust platform as the successful high-end Kudu model, which has proven itself worldwide over the past two years,” says Carmen Eicher, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at swissQprint. Over 100 satisfied customers have already experienced the platform’s performance, profitability and reliability. “With the new range and the performance spread between the respective models, we are appealing to an even broader customer base,” adds Carmen Eicher.
