Super-Wide Digital (SWD) has added an Agfa Jeti Tauro H3300 LED press to its wide-format stable.
Based in Lancashire, SWD is a family business that’s been in wide-format 3.2m and 5m print since it opened its doors in 2000.
‘We visited Agfa in Antwerp at the global launch of the Jeti Tauro H3300 LED in 2018 and were impressed at the resolution and output of the machine in the demonstrations,’ said SWD’s Luke Drogan. ‘But when we ultimately installed the Jeti Tauro and put it through initial testing it performed even better than we had anticipated, which was a great bonus to us. We found three immediate benefits. The first was the impressive level of quality at high speed. Secondly, the coverage capability of its high-speed white ink and finally the primer feature which allows us to print on materials that are usually difficult for inks to adhere to. The Jeti Tauro was a press that we hadn’t desperately needed as a business, but is now one that we definitely can’t do without.’
The Jeti Tauro H3300 LED is a hybrid UV LED wide-format printer that allows manual, continuous and automated feeding of both rigid and flexible materials. It includes 60 fast-firing Ricoh Gen 5 print heads, each with four nozzle rows offering two colours per head. The Jeti Tauro’s optional Master Roll-to-Roll system, of which the UK’s first is installed at SWD, additionally allows for jumbo rolls of up to 700kg in both single and dual lane print modes.
‘There is no doubt that Agfa’s Jeti Tauro H3300 LED has made a great initial impression on the team,’ Mr Drogan finished. ‘Our experienced print manager Tristan Haslam would choose to put all work through it and that’s a compliment indeed to the Agfa technology, service and support.’
