Second Agfa Jeti Tauro expands TI Group’s services and boosts production efficiency to an entirely new level
Toronto-based TI Group recently invested in its second wide-format inkjet press from Agfa Canada (pictured above with the TI Group’s Production Team). The new Agfa Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS LED (Ultra High Speed) was installed earlier this month and joins its Agfa Jeti Tauro H3300 LED press installed in June of 2021.

For over 35 years, the TI Group has been a Canadian leader in virtually every facet of cost-effective visual communications and brand marketing. The company has a long history of innovation that envisions solutions that its clients may not have even considered. These services include digital and large-format printing, lithography, variable-data printing, design, photo-studio services, digital finishing, kitting and fulfillment, and much more. Over the years, the TI Group has combined technical expertise with a huge repertoire of state-of-the-art printing equipment. That repertoire has now grown to a new level of production efficiency with the addition of Agfa’s newest and fastest flagship UV LED wide-format inkjet printer – The Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS LED (Ultra High Speed).

Ideal for expansion

Renée Walsh, President of TI Group

“We needed much more printing capacity to handle our ever-increasing volume of large-format digital printing,” said Renée Walsh, President of TI Group. “We are also seeing the need for speed-to-market in both the retail and corporate interiors market, and this device is built for maximum speed and fast throughput. After all, time is the currency of print production – and this press has both quality and speed. It can also be serviced quickly by experienced local technicians, and we pay for its consumables in Canadian dollars, which is another benefit. We’re currently exploring and expanding our business in multiple directions. These include indoor and outdoor, retail marketing, direct-to-corrugated, textile, canvas, packaging, fixture displays/visual merchandising, and so on. In addition, the Jeti Tauro platform has been very successful in testing dozens of eco-friendly and innovative materials,” she added.

Sonny Au-ieong, Operations Manager at TI Group, added that the Agfa team did an excellent job in installing the most recent Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS LED, as well as the Jeti Tauro H3300 LED in June of 2021 – including site preparation, machine and software setup, colour profiling, and onsite training. “It went very smoothly,” he said.
