Agfa encouraged FESPA 2025 attendees to discover the offset-like precision of the SpeedSet Orca 1060 water-based inkjet press. Built to thrive in the most demanding environments, this B1-sized titan merges digital innovation with Agfa’s more sustainable engineering – proving that true power flows naturally.

With a speed of 11,000 B1 sheets/hour, the SpeedSet Orca 1060 surges ahead, navigating short runs and on-demand production with agility. Its 1060mm x 750mm sheet size and 0.15-2mm substrate range – from folding carton to micro-flute – enables it to tackle diverse almost any media required.

The SpeedSet Orca 1060 anchors Agfa’s commitment to more sustainable, high-speed digital packaging. As regulations like the EU’s PPWR drive demand for recyclable solutions, the Orca’s food-safe inks and minimal waste output position you ahead of the swell.

The SpeedSet Orca 1060’s 10-bar color system (CMYK + optional colours, primer, varnish) and integrated inspection cameras ensure flawless results, while Agfa’s Asanti workflow software synchronizes with ERP/MIS systems, automating your journey from design to delivery.

“This fully digital packaging printing press merges the robustness and print excellence of an offset press with the compelling attributes of inkjet printing,” Richard Cotterill, global sales manager packaging at Agfa, said. “It offers offset-like print quality yet boasts shorter set-up times, reduced material waste and efficient variable data printing. On top of that, with its killer speed of 11,000 B1 sheets per hour, the SpeedSet Orca enables packaging converters to make their current operations more efficient and more cost-effective.”
