NUR MACROPRINTERS ANNOUNCES COMMERCIAL RELEASE OF NUR FRESCO(TM) WIDE-FORMAT DIGITAL PRODUCTION PRESS MAGSHIMIM, Israel, Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- NUR Macroprinters Ltd. (Nasdaq: NURM - - NEWS), a world-leading manufacturer of wide and superwide format digital printing systems, today announced the commercial release of its NUR Fresco(TM) screenless wide-format digital production press. Production units began shipping in January 2000 and are currently being installed worldwide. The NUR Fresco(TM) offers a digital alternative to wide-format screen printing for short and medium-run jobs. The commercial release of the Nur Fresco(TM) follows the successful completion of an extensive beta test program at customer sites in Europe, Asia and the U.S. "The NUR Fresco is a digital alternative to traditional screen printing for wide-format printing in production environments and will play a leading role in the digital revolution taking place in the market for cost-effective short and medium run digital solutions," said Erez Shachar, President and CEO of NUR Macroprinters Ltd. "We are pleased with the results of commercial installations of the product that have recently taken place worldwide." One of the first companies to take delivery of the new NUR Fresco(TM) is ExtraLarge of Milan, Italy. The company is enthusiastic about this latest addition to its wide format production technology, especially since the machine was up and running almost immediately after its arrival on site. "We began printing on the NUR Fresco within five hours of taking the machine out of its delivery crate", said Mauro Oliva from ExtraLarge. "Very soon we were producing excellent quality in all print modes. We are currently using the NUR Fresco to produce short-run jobs of around 60 prints for a conventional screen printing company." ExtraLarge has been a customer of NUR Macroprinters since 1998 when the company installed the first of the two NUR Blueboard HiQ(TM) superwide digital printing systems it continues to operate in addition to the new NUR Fresco(TM). "Based on the success we have enjoyed with the NUR Blueboard machines, we naturally turned to NUR when we required a product that would give us a fast time to market for our output, while also being able to handle our production capacity requirements, especially at peak demand periods," Mr. Oliva adds. "We base our reputation on our ability to provide fast service to our customers and the NUR Fresco is already helping us to speed up our production process." The commercial release of the NUR Fresco positions NUR Macroprinters as the only company to master and provide both piezo continuous inkjet (CIJ) and piezo continuous drop-on-demand (DoD) technologies for wide format digital printing. The NUR Fresco builds upon the technological and marketing expertise NUR Macroprinters has developed with its NUR Blueboard range of superwide digital printing systems. About the NUR Fresco(TM) NUR Fresco is a wide-format production press that provides a digital alternative to conventional screen printing on short and medium run jobs. The NUR Fresco uses piezo continuous drop-on-demand (DoD) inkjet technology to produce high quality graphics for a wide range of applications. These include point-of-purchase displays, banners, sheet billboards, bus shelter graphics, posters, shopping mall displays, airport terminal displays and many more The NUR Fresco produces outdoor durable prints on a wide variety of substrates in widths up to 72 inches. As an indication of its speed, the printer can produce 36 bus shelter displays or 16 eight-sheet posters per hour. Operating costs are kept to a minimum because the machine does not require special substrates or coatings The NUR Fresco is ideally suited to the demands of professional sign and screen printing companies that require a wide-format digital press that can handle a heavy workload in an industrial, production throughput environment -- while ensuring continuous top quality output for every job. The combination of fast printing speeds, high quality output and accelerated drying time help to give the NUR Fresco the highest "throughput on investment" (TOI) figures in the digital wide-format market. This is a combination that we believe will bring the NUR Fresco an extraordinary amount of market attention in 2000. About NUR Macroprinters Ltd.
