The new 3.2 meter wide Anapurna H3200i LED completes the family of hybrid Anapurnas (2.05 meter, 2.5 meter and 3.2 meter wide) from Agfa Graphics. At SGIA 2016, the Anapurna H3200i LED, Anapurna FB2540i LED (flatbed) and Anapurna RTR3200i LED (roll-to-roll) will be on display next to the flatbed Jeti Mira with dockable roll-to-roll and high-end hybrid Jeti Tauro in a ¾ automation set-up.
On its family of Anapurna i printers, Agfa Graphics recently introduced state-of-the-art, air-cooled LED UV curing as an alternative to the current mercury lamp curing technology, enabling printers to print on a broader range of media, save energy, increase system up-time and reduce operational expenses.
On display at the 2016 SGIA Expo (Las Vegas, Sept. 14–16) will be the Anapurna H3200i LED system, a brand new 3.2 meter hybrid solution for printing both rigid and flexible media.
“The Anapurna H3200i LED exactly meets the needs of most of our customers,” said Willy Van Dromme, manager marketing wide format, Agfa Graphics. “This is a belt-driven hybrid machine which handles all types of roll media in a size up to 3.2 meter, both in a single-roll and a dual-roll configuration, and it also allows for printing on 4 ft x 8 ft (2 meter x 3 meter) rigids, fed with the long size first.”
The Anapurna H3200i LED offers both high throughput and high print quality. The white ink function is built in.
The new Anapurna i-series inkjet systems are equipped with powerful, air-cooled 16 watt/cm² LED UV lamps. The dedicated ink sets from Agfa Graphics match the specific UV frequencies of the curing LEDs. Thanks to their reduced heat emission, they can print on heat-sensitive substrates such as thin-layer styrene, self-adhesive sheets or stretched ceiling materials made of PVC fabric.
Unlike for mercury lamps, the lifetime of the LED alternative is in line with the economical lifetime of a printer of typically five years. LED lamps can be switched on/off instantaneously, without degradation of intensity. Finally, LED lamps have no warm-up nor cool-down time, so power consumption is drastically lower during printing and reduced to an absolute minimum when paused, which results in a lower energy bill.
