Dale Studios has strengthened its production capabilities with its investment into an Anapurna Ciervo H3200 from Agfa.

The Ciervo H3200 is the third Agfa engine to join Dale Studios’ line-up, joining an Anapurna H3200i and an Anapurna H2500i, to help increase production capacity without outgrowing its existing premises.

Ben Millard, managing director at Dale Studios, said: “Agfa has been a constant in our growth journey and it has been great to partner with them through the years for our wide-format needs.

“With the new Ciervo H3200 we’re already seeing significant benefits in terms of throughput and capacity, which has really helped future-proof us as we scale over the next three years – confident in the knowledge that the machines, engineers, and the support behind them will keep our production moving.”

A key factor in the investment was the Ciervo H3200’s expanded print head configuration and fully integrated cover.

These features provide improved image consistency, while helping to reduce the risk of print contamination and lowering overall noise levels in the print room.

Emma Plant, sales manager at Agfa, said: “Working with Dale Studios over multiple Anapurna generations means we understand exactly where they want to go as a business. With the Ciervo H3200 in place alongside their Anapurna H2500i, they now have a powerful hybrid pair that can adapt with demand and maintain the consistent quality their clients rely on.”
