GRANDO GD-2008W/S Eco & Water-based Printer – Overview
The GRANDO GD-2008W/S is the fastest machine in the Grando eco-solvent family: an 8-head, 2.0-metre wide-format printer that replaces multiple smaller machines in one footprint. Its dual ink-path design accepts eco-solvent or water-based ink (CMYK or CMYK+S1S2S3S4 8-colour), so one machine can serve outdoor signage work and indoor photographic/poster work with a simple ink changeover. A siphon ink-path system with automatic refill keeps all eight heads fed at full speed.
Designed as a true roll-to-roll production machine, the GD-2008W/S prints on flex banners, vinyl hoardings, self-adhesive vinyl stickers, vehicle wraps and car stickers, backlit film and lightbox posters, photo paper, PP paper, canvas, non-woven fabric, wall cloth, mesh, one-way vision film and transparent film. Whether the job is a single vehicle wrap or a 50-roll banner contract, output stays consistent from the first metre to the last.
