Digital Plus has become the first company in the UK to install Agfa’s new super wide, fast Anapurna M3200i RTR with Asanti workflow.
The decision was made whilst the company directors were exploring the FESPA Munich exhibition floor, by chance they saw the new Anapurna M3200i on the Agfa stand and were immediately impressed with the quality and speed of the machine.
‘To be honest, we hadn’t realised how far Agfa had come in display graphics. The other machines we looked at were either too expensive, too slow or the quality was not to the standard we required. The Anapurna M3200i is also very competitively priced to enable us to achieve a good return on our investment,’ explained Chris Stringwell, director.
The company undertakes an assortment of indoor and outdoor display jobs for a varied client base that includes many household brand names in the beauty and fashion markets as well as building societies, utility companies, property developers, shopping centres, travel companies, museums and local authorities.
‘With the Anapurna M3200i we took up the dual roll option, which enables us to print two 1.5 m rolls simultaneously. We also considered going down the latex route but the productivity cannot match UV. The image quality of the printer is fantastic and very durable despite a very thin layer of ink. In fact, Agfa inks are the best we have used. You can crunch up a sheet of printed material and there’s no sign of the ink cracking or flaking. Over the coming months we are also very keen to maximise the potential of Agfa’s Asanti workflow,’ explained Owen Russell, director.
