Agfa has launched the Anapurna H3200 3.2m wide-format hybrid printer, which boasts an almost 70% increase in printing speed (in production mode) over its predecessor.
“Since the debut of the first Anapurna over two decades ago, the printer family has undergone multiple enhancements and expansions. Renowned for its exceptional versatility and unwavering reliability, the new version of the Anapurna H3200 now combines these attributes with a boost in productivity and improved quality,” said Philip Van der Auwera, product manager sign and display at Agfa.
Like its predecessor, the Anapurna H3200 features a six-colour plus white inkset and UV LED curing. However, both the print shuttle and print engine have been redesigned, and the printheads themselves have a throughput of up to 66 m²/hr in production mode. Additionally, the printer’s newly implemented continuous board feeding capacity enables efficient printing on rigid materials, with the capability to print up to four boards printed simultaneously.
Agfa said the enhanced print shuttle also contributes to improved image quality, particularly noticeably in darker solid tones, while its patented Thin Ink Layer technology ensures minimal ink consumption.
The new Anapurna H3200 will debut at the C!Print exhibition in Lyon, France (6-8 February) and shown at Fespa Global (Amsterdam, 19-22 March).
