Agfa releases the beast with new Jeti Tauro
Agfa is launching its fastest ever sign and display print system, the new Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS LED, which the company says is also aimed at corrugated cardboard printing and packaging.
The Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS LED is Agfa’s new flagship, targeted to the high end of the sign and display market, printing 3.3m wide in six-colour at 600sqm an hour.
Agfa says it combines print quality with all-round versatility, productivity and automation, and is up to 30 per cent faster than previous models.
And just like the other members of the award-winning Jeti Tauro H3300 family, it is a hybrid that can handle boards and sheets as well as flexible materials – in different configurations.
Agfa says, “Every component of the new Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS LED (UHS for ‘ultra-high speed’) is geared towards sustaining highly productive, reliable print operations with low maintenance requirements and high uptime.” Examples include the high-speed autoloader for fast media processing, and the large ink tanks for greater autonomy.
The company says it is thanks to the extended vacuum zones and media guide that, it is also well-suited for corrugated cardboard packaging printing, “thus enabling sign and display printers to expand their offering and cover all deliverables for their customers’ marketing campaigns”.
The master roll-to-roll configuration can handle both single- and dual-roll printing, and features an optional camera for accurate double-sided printing of block-out media.
“The Jeti Tauro was already a synonym for highly productive hybrid printing with advanced automation, yet with the Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS LED, we have raised the bar even more,” says Reinhilde Alaert, product manager Sign & Display at Agfa. “When developing this new flagship, we went all out to make it fit for extreme workloads. On top of that, it is a versatile all-in-one machine that can print rigids and sheets as well as roll materials at the highest quality and the lowest ink consumption. It is the epitome of our Extreme Productivity Extreme Quality motto.”
Next Tuesday 9 Agfa has organised a virtual event dedicated to the new Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS LED under the heading Meet the beast. Presentations covering market trends, as well as the new printer’s features and benefits, will be alternated with expert talks about applications and advanced workflow and colour management.

Sustainable inks with the lowest consumption
The Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS LED uses Agfa’s Greenguard Gold certified Anuvia UV LED inks, which it says are characterised by a wide colour gamut and high colour vibrancy. The company claims ink consumption is the lowest on the market, thanks to Agfa’s patented Thin Ink Layer’ technology – which relies on the exceptional colour strength of the pigments in Agfa’s inks, the smart algorithms in the Asanti software, and matched printer components. White ink and primer are optional.
