Agfa’s hybrid Tauro H3300 combines award-winning print quality with extreme productivity, cutting-edge automation and low ink consumption. With speeds up to 680sqm, it prints on a wide variety of rigid and flexible substrates up to 3.3m wide. Ruggedly built for extreme workloads, the Tauro inkjet engine handles multiple-shift operations and 24/7 printing.

Push Solutions is extending its capabilities with Agfa’s Tauro H3300. Push is the first company to harness the increase in productivity of the Tauro’s automatic board feeder and master roll-to-roll options.

‘The Tauro H3300 is a catalyst for our future growth,’ said Brad Flagge, the president of Push Solutions. ‘We can now reduce our lead times and offer efficiencies for larger jobs while expanding our range of embellishments and ink-settings. This allows our clients more affordable creativity on a larger scale in a more timely manner. We expect the Tauro to provide a 6x increase in speed on regular production jobs while offering a total impact of 25-30% on overall company revenue pertaining to new opportunities within the next 2-3 years. Our customers will benefit from increased materials, sizes, uses, embellishments, speed, and most importantly, service.’

Agfa’s patented UV LED-curable Anuvia inks deliver a wide colour gamut and high colour vibrancy while offering the lowest ink consumption on the market. The Tauro’s highly-pigmented 7-pl droplets produce stunning images at 635 x 1200dpi with a fine rendering of shadow, highlight details, and razor-sharp texts in as small as 4-point type. Anuvia inks are GREENGUARD Gold-certified to comply with industry norms pertaining to product safety, chemical emissions, and air quality.

The efficiency of the Tauro H3300’s Master RTR system attracted the Push Production Team. Designed for high-volume print runs, the MRTR can handle single or dual-roll printing and roll-to-roll or roll-to-sheet printing. Its dockable rolls easily switch between rolls and rigid media. An included camera system ensures accurate double-sided printing.

In addition, the Tauro’s automatic board feeder enhances productivity while reducing idle time. Ideal for shorter runs, the ABF offers smooth changeovers between types and sizes of media. Consisting of manual loading with automatic alignment and transport into the printer, the ABF effectively takes over some operator tasks.

The Tauro H3300 with automatic board feeder and master roll-to-roll system offers Push Solutions extreme versatility and productivity to serve its clients better. ‘The Tauro will support our growth and direction,’ stated Nick Bova, Push Solutions vice president. ‘It advances us towards our goal of being a full-service, multi-faceted, expanding, nationally focused production partner.’
