Agfa Graphics

Primary Color, a digital and sheetfed offset print shop, is very excited about its new partnership with Agfa/Thieme and the purchase of a new M-Press Tiger. The press utilizes inkjet technology for four-color printing combined with an in-line silkscreen unit.

Agfa Graphics announced that Cowan Imaging Group of Edmonton, Alberta, has installed Canada’s first Agfa :Jeti 1224 HDC FTR UV printing system. The :Jeti 1224 HDC (High Definition Color) FTR inkjet printer features the widest color gamut and highest productivity in its class, demonstrating high definition, sharp fine text and photographic detail with bright intense colors.

Modernistic Inc. is a leading supplier of point-of-purchase signage based in Stillwater, MN. “The (Agfa Titan’s) low ink consumption and true 1,200-dpi resolution fills a void for customers looking for ‘near litho’ quality on lower volume products,” said Scott Schulte, co-CEO.

Modern marketing means brand extensions, on pack promotions, packaging to tie in with events—all designed to increase sales and enhance relationships with consumers. This provides opportunities to printers that can meet these demands. To date, digital printing has left packaging alone while expanding in publication printing.

Agfa’s latest wide-format UV inkjet printing systems, inks, software and more will be demonstrated during an open house event being held at its demo facility located at 4005 Royal Dr., Kennesaw, GA, on Wednesday, Nov. 16, and Thursday, Nov. 17, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Agfa Graphics announced that J-C Press of Owatonna, MN, has expanded its wide-format printing capabilities with the UV hybrid :Anapurna M4f from Agfa Graphics. The entry-level system is a 62˝ wide-format printer that provides J-C Press with high-quality POP displays, posters, exhibition panels, stage graphics, ad panels and more.

Agfa Graphics announced it will be displaying several wide-format inkjet printers, a diverse range of media, and highlighting its unique “Application Zone” that features lifestyle scenarios where inkjet printing goes beyond typical output at SGIA 2011.

Wide- and grand-format printers really stood out around the show floor, with the size of some devices giving them the impression of being the new “heavy iron” in the industry. Even the new crop of inkjet presses for high-volume page production was overshadowed a bit by their wider brethren, as fewer vendors elected to bring machines to Chicago.

Agfa Graphics will immediately begin distributing the OKI pro510DW digital web press through both its e-commerce channel and its established sales force. Agfa Graphics will be demonstrating the OKI pro510DW in booth 1227 at GRAPH EXPO 2011.

Agfa Graphics announced that it will showcase the widest product portfolio at the company’s booth (#1227) at GRAPH EXPO 2011. Several wide-format inkjet systems will be running live at the show, including the new :Anapurna M1600, a 63˝ wide UV-curable, four-color printer that features white ink and Agfa’s flexible G2 inks.
