The swissQprint range of printers, has undergone tests as specified by the ISO 20690 standard – and earned excellent grades. Fogra experts certify the printers’ Kudu, Nyala and Karibu "top in class” energy efficiency".
The large format printers consume little electricity in relation to their productivity, which bears positively on operating costs and the environmental balance. The average consumption is 2,2 kWh. swissQprint is the only manufacturer who can provide this certification.
The 2.2 kWh comparison
The swissQprint UV LED large format printers consume an average of 2.2 kilowatt-hours of electricity, exactly the same as an average kettle.

Another comparison: A two-hour video streaming session on a 65-inch 4K TV requires about the same amount of power, calculated from the data centre to the end device.
Designed to save energy
Why do our machines need so little electricity? The secret lies in their constituent machine components and using state-of-the-art technologies:
The UV printing process requires neither heating nor ventilation
The printers’ LED lamps are low on electricity consumption and emissions
Our printers warm up fast, which helps energy efficiency
Conserving resources and minimizing environmental impact are the focus right from the outset.

“The two new Kudus have replaced an inkjet flatbed press and add extra flexibility and production efficiency. Both machines ran for days on end in December and yet we used 6000 kW less electricity than in the previous year. That’s an enormous cost saving.”
