Gethray C8 Flex Printing Machine – Overview
The Gethray C8 Flex Printing Machine is the heavy-body sibling of the C4 – same Konica platform, but engineered for punishing duty cycles. A welded square-pipe main girder, 4200 mm thickened aluminium carriage beam, Taiwan Hiwin linear guides with dual mute sliders and individual CMYK purging make it the printer you buy when downtime costs you contracts. Head options cover Konica 512i (30 pl) for speed and KM 1024i (13 pl) for finer imagery.
The Gethray C8 runs all day on flex banners, vinyl hoardings, self-adhesive vinyl, one-way vision film, mesh, backlit flex, coated banner, PVC and PP media, canvas and fabric backdrops. Solvent and eco-solvent prints are waterproof and UV-resistant for long outdoor life, and the machine’s service ecosystem is supported across India.
