Agfa Shows Variety of Print Applications at FESPA 2022

Agfa will be highlighting its latest inkjet innovations during Fespa 2022, which will be held from May 31-June 3 at Messe Berlin.

“We keep improving and expanding our print solutions as we are passionate about ena-bling sign and display companies throughout the world to produce unique and striking prints – at the right throughput and the right price,” said Vincent Wille, president of digi-tal print & chemicals for Agfa.

“FESPA visitors looking to advance their businesses should definitely stop by the Agfa booth,” added Wille. “We invite them to experience our large-format inkjet printing de-mos and to get inspired by our extensive variety of print samples. Most of all, our inkjet experts look forward to exploring together how our integrated offering of printers, inks, software, training and services can meet printing companies’ needs and further their growth.”

A variety of print applications will take center stage at Agfa’s booth:

• Corrugated cardboard displays featuring varnish: The Jeti Tauro H3300 HS LED is the latest member of Agfa’s 3.3 meter heavy-duty hybrid inkjet printer family. It offers pro-ducers of corrugated cardboard displays the option to add a layer of glossy or matt var-nish – either applied to the entire surface (flood varnish) or to selected spots (spot var-nish).

• Vibrant soft signage prints: The 3.2 meter Avinci CX3200 dye-sublimation printer pro-duces consistently vibrant high-quality prints on a wide range of polyester-based fabrics for indoor or outdoor soft signage, interior decoration, and fashion items. Being able to print directly to fabric is easy and fast, and ideal for applications such as flags, which re-quire see-through.

• Flexible media – even the thinnest, most heat-sensitive ones: The Oberon RTR3300 is a sturdy 3.3 meter roll-to-roll machine that combines excellent print quality and high throughput with a unique ease of use. Featuring UV LED curing and a water-cooled print plate, it tackles even the most heat-sensitive flexible materials.

• Agfa offers complete industrial inkjet printing systems, such as InterioJet, a multi-pass, water-based inkjet system for printing on décor paper for laminate production, and Alussa, a state-of-the-art inkjet printing technology that enables the creation of stunning and lasting designs on genuine leather. Both were recently rewarded by the European Digital Press association.

• In direct relationship with OEM partners, printhead manufacturers, system integrators and end users, Agfa also develops high-performance UV and water-based industrial inkjet inks for a wide array of applications across a number of market sectors. These inks are used in state-of-the-art, and often custom-made printing equipment that is integrated in existing manufacturing processes.
