(PRESS RELEASE) Fogra experts acting on behalf of Swiss manufacturer swissQprint have tested a Nyala series LED UV printer according to ISO 20690:2018. This new standard specifies methods for determining the energy consumption of digital printers and thus allows comparison of the operating costs and ecological footprints of such machines.

Outstanding Energy Efficiency

Fogra experts acting on behalf of Swiss manufacturer swissQprint have tested a Nyala series LED UV printer according to ISO 20690:2018. This new standard specifies methods for determining the energy consumption of digital printers and thus allows comparison of the operating costs and ecological footprints of such machines.

Standardized Measurement

In order to model realistic system usage, the standardized measurement includes four different printer statuses. To ensure that results are consistent, the experts used four different printing modes several times with a standardized print file.

The “outstanding energy efficiency” certificate for Nyala implicitly applies to all other swissQprint machines that use LED curing due their similar construction and especially since Nyala is the highest-performing model in the range.
