Maidstone-based print management company Imagink has purchased an Agfa Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS high speed print engine. The machine was installed on the 18 of November 2024 and the smooth and straightforward purchasing process provided by the Agfa team was key to making the sale, said Imagink.
Established in 2009, Imagink primarily fulfils POS requirements, including window vinyl and building hoardings. As the company continues to grow, it needed a new machine to replace its eight-year-old Durst 2-metre-wide P10 engine. This is where the Agfa Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS comes in.
‘Our previous printer had served us well, but it was getting old, and we needed a machine with greater speed and capacity to meet the demands of our growing business and enable us to quote for work we had previously turned away,’ said Mike Saunders, owner of Imagink.

‘When we visited the print show in Amsterdam in 2023, Agfa was the first stand we encountered as we entered the hall. Initially, I wasn’t considering Agfa for a replacement machine, but the Tauro model on display caught my attention, so we took a closer look. We arranged a demo and later visited an Agfa customer who was already using a Tauro in their operations. We felt it had a distinct advantage over other options in the market,’ he said.
What truly made the difference for the company was the seamless buying process it experienced with Agfa. This made a significant investment a straightforward decision, explained Mr Saunders.
The Agfa Jeti Tauro H3300 is a UV LED wide-format inkjet printer designed for both rigid and flexible media. The printer is capable of handling ‘extreme’ workloads, supporting multiple shifts, and operating continuously 24/7. Featuring UV LED curing technology and utilising low ink consumption with Greenguard-certified inks, the printer provides energy savings, cost efficiency, and ecological benefits, helping print businesses reduce their carbon footprints, stated Agfa.
The UHS model within the Imagink range offers six colours, along with white and primer, and is equipped with eight rows of print heads. This is the latest model of the Tauro series, which now features the newly introduced Flex Roll to Roll system.
Currently on track for sales of £3.4 million this year, the Agfa Tauro will help Imagink achieve this growth now and in the future, said Mr Saunders. The company is already experiencing ‘substantial’ benefits from this latest investment and the newfound capability has allowed Imagink the choice to print all its requirements in-house if needed, he concluded.
