FLXflow in a nutshell

FLXflow offers three functionalities—Hold, Float, and Instant Switch - to enhance media handling.

The Hold function uses a patented airflow technique to secure various media types in place with minimal masking, while the optional Float function creates an air cushion to easily position heavy or challenging substrates, reducing media damage risk and enabling smooth registration. The Instant Switch feature allows for easy transition between Hold and Float modes using foot pedals, simplifying printer operability and media removal.
