Solara ion™ Series
Gerber’s newest wide-format UV-cationic inkjet printer series offers both a true flatbed and true roll-to-roll configuration that provide superior adhesion and color for outdoor-durable graphics with selectable resolution up to 720 dpi. Its advanced GerberCAT™ cationic UV inks and low temperature patent-pending Cold Fire Cure™ technology make the Solara ion compatible with the widest range of rigid and flexible materials including those sensitive to heat.

  • The new Gerber Solara ionz
  • World's first high resolution cationic inkjet! Gerber announced our latest innovation in the wide-format UV inkjet marketplace at both PRINT '09 and SGIA 2009. The new Solara ionZ delivers all of the benefits of the current Solara ion™ family including GerberCat™ Ink and Cold Fire Cure™ low temperature technology, but with the added advantage of high resolution image output. It utilizes 14pl print head technology to finer resolution without sacrificing print speed.

     
  • New Gerber Solara upgrades and options
  • Gerber now offers an upgrade package for the Solara ionV. You can now add roll-to-roll capability or double the amount of print heads for faster print times. Also the Solara ionX is now available in a flatbed configuration only.
       • Available ionV options
       • Available ionX options

     
  • The new Gerber Solara ionv
  • The Gerber Solara ionV offers most of the benefits of the Gerber Solara ionX in a significantly more affordable package. Similar to the Gerber Solara ionX, the Gerber Solara ionV can print virtually any rigid and flexible media on its precision flatbed, up to 100"/2.5m in length and with perfect double-sided printing capability. What differentiates the Gerber Solara ionV is instead of eight print heads it includes a single CMYK four-head set and does not include a roll-to-roll printing system.

     
  • The Next Generation of UV Inkjet Technology
  • Gerber’s new GerberCAT™ cationic inks and Cold Fire Cure™ technology provide unmatched adhesion on materials traditionally problematic for inkjet printers such as glass and textiles. Heat sensitive plastic, vinyl, fabric, and paper-based materials can now be printed without concern over ink adhesion or material damage, making the Gerber Solara ion™ one of the most versatile printers in the world.
