Having successfully operated multiple EFI VUTEk platforms, Hannu Marketing has once again shown its confidence in Arrow Digital and EFI VUTEk by becoming the first company in India to adopt the groundbreaking EFI VUTEk X5r. Its continued investment in EFI technology reflects a long-standing relationship with Arrow Digital based on trust, performance, and dependable service support.

For premium applications

Highlighting the capabilities of EFI VUTEk X5r, Prakash Chopra, Sr. VP – Sales, Arrow Digital Pvt. Ltd., mentioned, “EFI VUTEk X5r redefines performance in the 5m super-wide format category with production speeds of up to 8,084 sqft/hr. Powered by EFI’s advanced UltraDrop™ Technology, it delivers exceptional image quality, colour consistency, and productivity across high-volume production environments. Supporting CMYK, White, and UltraClear Coat, the X5r enables a wide range of premium applications including backlit displays, retail branding, fabric graphics, vehicle wraps, exhibition graphics, and outdoor advertising.

EFI UltraClear Coat adds decorative effects as well as durable surface protection in gloss or matte finishes, applied in-line with the printed image to improve efficiency and reduce turnaround times. Additionally, the EFI Inline Slitters enable precise slitting and trimming directly during the printing process, eliminating the need for separate finishing operations. This integrated solution increases productivity, reduces waste, and delivers high-quality finished rolls with faster turnaround times.

With the EFI VUTEk X5r now fully operational, Hannu Marketing is well-positioned to further strengthen its leadership in premium large-format printing while expanding opportunities across high-value applications for leading brands and corporate customers.

Sam Patel concluded, “By becoming the first company in India to install the EFI VUTEk X5r, Hannu Marketing has once again demonstrated the vision, confidence, and leadership that have defined its success for more than four decades. We are honoured to be their technology partner and look forward to supporting their continued growth and future achievements.”
