Agfa Graphics has announced the world premiere of new inkjet systems, workflow and inks. One new product is the 98-inch Jeti Tauro – a high-end hybrid UV inkjet press with 32 heads for 6 colours and optional white or primer, designed for high productivity printing on both rigid and flexible material. The other is the Jeti Mira – a versatile 6-colour and white UV inkjet flatbed printer with optional varnish or primer that features a moving-gantry architecture with split-vacuum table for productivity, impressive colours and high print quality. New workflow automation includes more feature integration in the wide-format Asanti 2.0 software, while new UV inks designed for specific inkjet print applications requiring flexibilty (RTR) in the most challenging of outdoor conditions, have been added.
Both printers for the higher-end segment of the sign and display market are geared to high-productivity and high-quality output. The hybrid Jeti Tauro offers optional semi or full media load/unload automation. Jeti Tauro prints on up to 8.2-foot-wide rolls or rigid material completely operated from the Asanti workflow software. The Jeti Mira is a true flatbed printer available in two table versions – 8’ 9” x 5’ 2” and 8’ 9” x 10’ 5”. The moving-gantry architecture is designed to offer optimal flexibility and high-quality output on a variety of different media. To reduce vacuum masking, the split vacuum table features six vacuum zones with automatic and independent control of the front and back zones. Its Print and Prepare mode allows non-stop printing so users can load one side of the table while the other is printing.
“We promised a series of new state-of-the-art products in the course of 2015 and we’re happy to deliver,” said Dominiek Arnout, Vice President Inkjet, Agfa Graphics. “We truly believe the market will embrace these two new systems that make ultimate use of our dedicated ink technology and our tailored sign and display workflow. Our Matched Component Approach guarantees that every component yields the best possible result.”
