Agfa has released a brand-new flatbed printer, after premiering it at FESPA’s Global Print Show.
The Onset Panthera FB3216 is built to sweep through print jobs at speeds reaching up to 1,514 m sq/hr – that equals 296 beds per hour.
Its heavy-duty construction ensures non-stop operation, while the advanced print carriage delivers flawless, banding-free prints.
With a unique, staged curing approach – two LED units at the front, one at the rear – each layer is dried with precision, ensuring strong adhesion, a wider colour gamut, and high-gloss finishes.
The Panthera also reduces energy costs with the use of LED lamps. By turning them on and off instantaneously, they use no energy during returning passes, load/unload cycles, or while waiting for the next job.
Whether tackling striking retail graphics, fast-turnaround POS materials, or corrugated POP displays and packaging, the Panthera adapts effortlessly to any task. Its robust platform handles media from delicate 200g/m2 coated paper up to 46mm thick board, and sizes up to 3.22 x 1.6m.
Dieter Jancart, Segment Manager High-End Printing Systems at Agfa said: “With the Onset Panthera FB3216, we’ve engineered a press that combines raw power and intelligent automation with unmatched speed, versatility, and precision.
“This unique press delivers flawless prints across graphics and packaging while adapting seamlessly to any workflow, setting a new standard for flatbed printing.”
