NUR Macroprinters Announces Settlement Agreement Resolving Most Outstanding
Lawsuits

Magshimim, Israel, December 29, 1998-- NUR Macroprinters Ltd. (NASDAQ -NMS
Symbol: NURTF), manufacturer of the market-leading NUR Blueboard digital inkjet
printing system, today announced that it has achieved a settlement agreement
with Scitex Corporation Ltd., Matan Digital Printing Ltd., Sprintek Ltd., Mr.
Rami Dochovna and Idanit Technologies Ltd. among others. The settlement
agreement resolves several outstanding legal disputes pertaining to intellectual
property rights, royalty payments between NUR and Matan, and three different
lawsuits currently being heard in different courts in Israel.

The settlement agreement resolves all disputes between NUR and Matan, including
the disputes on patent ownership, royalty payments to Matan and its founder,
Rami Dochovna, alleged past debts of NUR to Matan, and different rights relating
to the technologies of both parties. Other issues resolved under the settlement
agreement are all disputes and legal proceedings between Idanit and Meital,
recently acquired by NUR.

Under the settlement agreement, NUR will pay a total of $880,000 to Rami
Dochovna, Sprintek and Matan. NUR has fully provided for this amount, which is
payable in equal installments over a 3 year period. Under the terms of the
agreement, the patents in dispute will become the undisputed property of NUR; no
future royalty payments for the sale of NUR's printers will be paid to Matan or
Rami Dochovna; all past debts are considered paid in full; and the mutual
lawsuits filed in the Tel Aviv District Court and the Israeli Patent Registrar
will be withdrawn. The settlement agreement also resolves all legal disputes
between Idanit and Meital.

Commenting on the agreement, Erez Shachar, President and CEO of NUR
Macroprinters Ltd., said, "This is a historic agreement for NUR, as it finally
ends the series of legal battles the Company has been involved in since the
changes in control and management last year. This settlement agreement follows
another agreement signed with the receiver of Moshe Nuri, the previous chairman
of the Company, several months ago."

"We are very pleased with the settlement agreement achieved. The agreement will
allow us to focus management time and attention on the business issues facing
the company, and relieve the Company of the great burden of legal proceedings
and uncertainties regarding intellectual property rights and technology
ownership." Prior to the agreement, the Company had reserved a fixed percentage
of sales of its NUR Blueboard printers for royalty payments. Going forward, the
Company does not need to reserve for future royalty payments.'
