FESPA VIDEO: AGFA SHOWS AUTOMATION

Agfa’s fastest hybrid inkjet wide-format printer, the Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS LED, which is intended for 24/7 high-quality production, is centre stage on the stand, which also has an Inca Onset X3 with robot.

The Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS LED, has been upgraded with a varnish option that allows producers of corrugated cardboard displays to enhance their prints by adding a layer of high-gloss or satin varnish.

Agfa acquired Inca last year and is showing the Onset X3 HS flatbed inkjet using new Agfa inks and driven by Agfa’s Asanti workflow software. On stand, the printer is being demonstrated with a three-quarter automation setup, featuring a lay table and an unloading robot, running a variety of stocks, including corrugated boards.

The stand also has the 3.2m-wide Avinci CX3200, a dye-sub printer that Agfa says produces vibrant high-quality prints on a wide range of polyester-based fabrics for soft signage, interior decor and fashion items. It prints both directly to fabric and to transfer papers. The new Avinci 110 printer inks have received the Oeko-Tex ECO Passport, indicating that they are free of any hazardous components and can be used for eco-friendly textile manufacturing.

Watch Agfa Graphics' ANZ country manager Philip Burns talk to Print21's Wayne Robinson about why Agfa is investing so much into inkjet print systems, and why print businesses are the beneficiaries.
