Next-Level Creative Capabilities for Next-Level Brands
With the Swiss Q Kudu now online, 40 VISUALS can deliver:
- Gallery-quality resolution at production speeds
- Multi-layer and textured printing for depth, dimension, and visual intrigue
- Complete substrate versatility, from glass and acrylic to lenticular and 3D materials
- Exceptional color accuracy and consistency across multi-location rollouts
- Wider color gamut, including light cyan, light magenta, orange, and varnish for expanded creative flexibility
A combination of texture printing (jeans) and lenticular 3D effect surrounding the jeans created a dynamic, perspective-shifting effect.
Layered varnish and white superimposed on the design printed on the reverse create the illusion of depth and water.
The state-of-the-art flatbed printer can simulate a variety of effects like varnish and metallic elements.
The SwissQ Kudu printer can reproduce dimensional lettering effects in printed materials.
The Kudu’s advanced multi-layer printing technology allows us to replicate the look and feel of organic materials with stunning accuracy.
3D relief printing imitates the age-old craft of stained glass.
