    BRIGADIER GRAND 102"

    Uniform Brigadier Grand inkjet printers meets the needs of typical sign makers focusing on high volume production of outdoor prints with medium-term durability like no other machine ever did before!
    Using mild solvent inks, the Uniform Brigadier Grand prints directly onto standard available uncoated vinyl, banner and soft signage materials with a maximum media width up to 2604 mm (102.52”) and a printing width up to 2594 mm (102.13”).

    i² Intelligent Interweaving print technology means the Uniform Brigadier Grand delivers impeccable quality at production speeds up to 42 m²/h. Impeccable quality piecework can be produced at speeds up to 16.5 m²/h.

    Brigadier mild solvent inks have excellent drying and drop fixation characteristics to perform at high print speeds on a wide range of popular self-adhesive PVC and banner substrates.

    It’s ideal for speed-intensive sign production applications such as corporate signs, stage and window graphics, POS displays, backlit box signage, construction announcements, vehicle graphics, indoor graphics such as photo blow ups, floor graphics and much more…

    For speed-intensive volume-oriented printer users, Uniform developed an optional Bulk Ink System, providing ink autonomy of 4.3 liter ink per bottle.

    An optional Bulk Ink System has been specifically developed for speed-intensive, volume-oriented Brigadier Grand printer users often launching batch prints, requiring a high-volume ink delivery system.

    Depending on the Brigadier printer model used and the ink setup chosen, three different bulk ink systems are made available, i.e. 8 pumps/4 bottles, 8 pumps/8 bottles and 16 pumps/8 bottles.

    Each new continuous bulk ink delivery system (BIS) bottle has a total capacity of 4.3 liters. The ink bottles can be refilled during printing.

    Speed / Performance
    Uniform Brigadier Grand allows a top speed of 81 m²/h.
    With the i² 360 dpi mode, production work on uncoated vinyl, banner and soft signage materials is delivered at 42 m²/h. For piecework onto uncoated vinyl, banner and soft signage materials, the Brigadier Grand offers i² impeccable quality at up to 16.5 m²/h.

    Micro-Staggered High-End Piezo Print Head Technology
    The Uniform Brigadier Grand printer features two head sets in a micro-staggered layout (one colour per head), allowing both speed-oriented production work at impeccable print quality as well as top quality piecework. Each of the eight incorporated drop-on-demand piezo inkjet heads has 2 x 180 nozzles. Each 180 nozzle row is delivered by an independent ink channel. Using Dynamic Variable Dot Imaging Technology, each ink droplet is individually adjusted to provide high speed and high quality with low ink consumption.

    Wide Media Acceptance
    The Uniform Brigadier Grand will print on a wide array of uncoated, eco-coated and coated substrates thanks to the unique characteristics of Uniform Brigadier mild solvent inks, piezo print heads, four built-in digitally controllable heating elements and, last but not least, unique i2 Intelligent Interweaving technology.

    Ink Delivery
    Brigadier mild solvent ink can be ordered in easy-to-use 220 ml or 440 ml ink cassettes. For customers that are speed-intensive, high volume operators, the Uniform Brigadier Grand connects with Uniform's optional professional continuous ink delivery system. Uniform's optional Bulk Ink System (BIS), allowing 4.3 litre ink autonomy per bottle,is a high-volume ink delivery system offering long autonomy along with minimum user intervention. The ink bottles are refillable on the fly.

    Ready for Mild Solvent
    The Uniform Brigadier Grand is a mild solvent friendly printer. All parts of the ink supply path (ink supply tubings,head caps,pumps, etc.) are solvent resistant. Together with every printer, Uniform supplies a “Good Shape Kit” (giving 6 months autonomy), with all necessary parts to perform periodical maintenance quickly and simply. All parts requiring regular inspection and/or maintenance are easily accessible via the large protective cover.
