The gap between the giants and the generalists is open. Take your region.
Heavy single-pass lines cost more than most of your customers will ever sign for. Polyvalent roll-to-roll platforms can’t hold industrial speed on paper. NOMAD sits exactly in between: a European-manufactured production printer in the ~€100,000 CAPEX class, running uncoated media at 380 m²/h. One distributor per region. The strongest application wins it.
Every print business running paper volume faces the same uncomfortable choice today. NOMAD is the answer that hasn’t existed in their budget before, and the answer you can be the only one selling in your territory.
Below NOMAD
Polyvalent roll-to-roll platforms
Latex and eco-solvent machines do many things acceptably. On long paper runs they do one thing painfully: they’re slow, and the operator babysits every roll.
The customer outgrows it.
The open segment
NOMAD
Dedicated single-pass production for uncoated media. Industrial throughput, water-based chemistry, 2000 mm web, automated long runs, at a CAPEX a mid-size print business can actually finance.
~€100k · 380 m²/h · One partner per region
Above NOMAD
Heavy industrial lines
Superb machines, at 2.5 to 3.5 times the investment. Most regional print businesses will never get the board approval, and you’ll never get the meeting.
A technical and economic moat you can defend in any sales meeting
Eight Epson I3200-A1 piezoelectric printheads, a stabilised siphon ink supply from 5-litre bottles, an 8 kW drying section and a media path built for 3000-metre rolls. The numbers below are the pitch.

Pure ink cost
~0.36 € / m²
At 24 €/L ink and ~15 mL/m² laydown. Your customer's estimator can verify it on the demo.
Ink + blueback media
1.5–1.8 € / m²
Total consumables for standard billboard production. Margins your customers stopped believing were possible.
Where we win
The demand behind your pipeline is structural, not seasonal
You’re not selling a speed bump over the previous model. You’re selling the machine that matches three regulatory and market shifts already reshaping European print buying.
Urban OOH
Cities are squeezing PVC out
Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona and a lengthening list of municipalities are restricting PVC and high-VOC media in public space. REACH-aligned, water-based pigment on paper is what their tenders increasingly specify. Your billboard customers must comply, and NOMAD is their compliance machine.
Hospitality & retail
Interiors are specifying PVC-free
Hotel groups and retail chains are writing vinyl out of their fit-out standards. Odor-free, non-woven wallcoverings are the replacement, a premium product with premium margins, and a recurring revenue line for every print shop you equip.
Events & exhibitions
Ephemeral graphics must recycle
Three-day graphics on permanent plastic stopped making sense to brands and venues alike. Paper in, paper out: NOMAD output enters the standard recycling stream, which is now a line item in event procurement, not a nice-to-have.
Competitive conquest
The two machines you’ll meet in deals, and how NOMAD beats them
Your prospects are already being courted. These are the side-by-side conversations, with the numbers that end them.

How you close it
At volume, ink cost is the business case. Two-thirds lower per square metre, on a wider web, with chemistry that passes the most cautious procurement desk in healthcare or education. Run the customer's own monthly volume through both numbers and let the spreadsheet finish the meeting.
Comparative figures are derived from manufacturers' published specifications and standard operating assumptions as of June 2026; they are provided for guidance and should be verified against current vendor data for any specific configuration. NOMAD ink cost basis: 24 €/L, ~15 mL/m² laydown.
