The Vekta P3 Revolutionizes Frame and Truss Printing
Pssst…do you want to know a secret? Not all printers (and their ink) are created equal.
If you are struggling with inaccurate or incomplete printing on your production line, you’re missing out on a crucial efficiency boost. The Vekta P3 printer is THE industry-shaking, custom-built print system designed to elevate your frame and truss production and take your business to the next level.
The Vekta P3 Printer, engineered specifically for the demands of frame and truss manufacturing, boasts the capability to print ANY image onto lumber with unparalleled precision and clarity. This versatility allows for maximum flexibility and customization within your production process.
Initially designed for wall panel fabrication (stud locations/lengths, opening sizes, panel junction marks, etc.), the P3 Printer’s capabilities have expanded significantly. Now, we can print a wide range of information directly onto truss components. This eliminates the need for cumbersome paperwork, laser projectors, or large screens, streamlining the workflow and minimizing errors.
Vekta is a licensed OEM partner with HP Inc (Hewlett-Packard). This relationship – based on innovation – has allowed us to design and manufacture the P3 to hold pace with our speedy top-of-the-line Razer saws. The P3 Printer opens a whole new world of possibilities for Vekta customers. Its modular design allows the range of printable information to be easily expanded over time to meet our customer’s changing needs. Vekta regularly adds more options as to what can be printed in real time and with precise accuracy on the lumber – a key factor in why our competitors haven’t been able to catch up.
The printer incorporates 16 individual, disposable print heads and prints onto two faces of the lumber. It automatically adjusts for different thickness material and self-checks to ensure the printer is in the correct position to avoid bottlenecks. Existing Razer systems can be easily upgraded to include a P3 Printer.
Now it’s time to think about ink as those previously mentioned cartridges can be a big deal. Those click-in cartridges as well as other low-cost consumables and parts make the P3 significantly cheaper and easier to reload, clean, and maintain compared to other systems.
You know the saying: “You get what you pay for.” This rings especially true when it comes to printing technology for your frame and truss plant. You may think third-party or remanufactured ink cartridges in your saw could be a good idea to save you money, but using these unreliable cartridges risks damaging your printer and creating unnecessary downtime for your production line.
Buying cartridges directly through the manufacturer ensures you have brand new, official HP cartridges that are consistently available, correctly stored and batch-tracked for your peace of mind.
Frame and truss plants that establish a regularly recurring ink cartridge order ensure they never run out of ink again and take advantage of bundled shipping rates with any additional spare parts orders they may need throughout the year.
Vekta remains committed to delivering cutting-edge automation solutions that empower our customers and drive industry-wide success in the new year.
The printing system…is effective for our staff producing a finished product as it shows component locations, increasing the speed of production and assisting new staff members to adapt quickly…carpenters onsite prefer this way of printing on the timber as it helps them locate different panels faster and in a more effective way.

..reasons for purchasing a second saw is the printing capabilities that the P3 offers in terms of plate marking and truss component placing. These help the assembly team to work smarter not harder to meet the production levels required to satisfy our customer expectations.

The printing options on the members has endless opportunities. Being able to print on the edge as well as the flat is a very impressive feature.
