Under the baseline ‘Powerful by Nature’, Agfa has announced printers that have been imbued with a fresh identity, now sporting names of formidable animals that reflect their unique strengths.
‘We are thrilled to unveil our transformed and enhanced inkjet printer portfolio, where proven wide format inkjet technology meets the power of three brand-new beasts,’ said Arnaud Calleja, Vice-President Digital Printing Solutions at Agfa. ‘Our overarching ‘Powerful by Nature’ portfolio theme emphasises that the performance of our printers stems from the way they have been designed. Whatever environment a printing company operates in, whatever its markets or applications, whether seeking high productivity, quality or versatility, there’s an Agfa printer that will deliver impressive results and give their business a boost.’
The Jeti Condor RTR5200 is the latest addition to Agfa’s inkjet printer line-up. This roll-to-roll inkjet printer with an impressive 5.2m wingspan sets the standard for both speed (up to 672sqm/h) and image quality in the roll-to-roll printer market.
The Condor handles a wide variety of flexible substrates at up to three rolls simultaneously. It is field-upgradable with light colours and features white and varnish for increased design and application options. The printer also soars high above its competitors thanks to its multiple media handling solutions for large and heavy rolls, and its extensive range of money, labour and floor-saving options that automate the complete printing and finishing process on the fly.
With the hybrid Jeti Bronco H3300, Agfa adds another power horse to its assortment. Building on the proven reliability of the Tauro hard and software, this swift 3.3m high-end UV LED inkjet printer prints a variety of sign and display jobs in six colours plus white, with optional primer. Continuous board feeding enhances productivity efficiency even more, whereas independent dual-roll printing allows for the simultaneous printing of differently sized rolls or diverse media.
In the first stage, the Bronco will be available with two rows of print heads. However, its horsepower is field-upgradable to a four-row version, making it an investment that will boost printing companies’ productivity and ROI and let them saddle up for future success.
Since the introduction of the first Anapurna over 20 years ago, the family has kept evolving. The new 3.2 hybrid Ciervo approaches any printing job with great agility, ready for whatever crosses its path, and thus proves a perfect fit for printing companies that are looking for a versatile printer to tackle a wide range of print jobs.
The Ciervo brings enhanced print quality and a much higher productivity than its predecessor, boasting an almost 70% increase in printing speed in Production Mode. The continuous board feeding capacity enables efficient printing on rigid materials, at up to four boards simultaneously. Beside these three new additions to its inkjet printer family, the other printers include:
Onset Grizzly X3 HS
The imposing Onset Grizzly X3 HS is an extremely high-speed flatbed inkjet press that combines heavy-duty operations with outstanding print quality. With a speed of up to 1450sqm/h, fast set-up and multiple automation options, including loading/unloading robots, it lets printing companies roar through workloads in a cost-efficient way and get their claws into high-volume graphics and packaging jobs.
Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS
Its rugged reliability enables 24/7 print production of superior quality at up to 3.3m wide and 905sqm/h, while its multiple automation options boost production efficiency even more.
Capable of printing corrugated cardboard in one pass, as well as applying varnish, the Tauro H3300 is ideal for both packaging and display needs. With its versatile configurations, this sturdy beast unleashes fierce performance, allowing printing companies to charge ahead with primal force.
