Agfa has introduced a new flagship model in its Jeti Tauro hybrid wide-format printer line, the H3300 UHS LED, which is capable of producing 600sqm/hr in four or six colours on media up to 3.3m in width.
Targeted at the high end of the signage and display market, the new model is 30% faster than the original Jeti Tauro introduced in 2018 and upgraded almost a year ago with the introduction of the four-colour version and additional automation options, all of which are also available for this new model. An upgradeable ‘entry-level’ model, the Jeti Tauro H3300 S, was added later in 2020.
Agfa says that ‘every component… is geared towards sustaining highly productive, reliable print operations with low maintenance requirements and high uptime’ and cites a high-speed auto-loader and large ink tanks in support of this. The H3300 UHS (UHS standing for ultra high speed) is also said to be suitable for printing on corrugated cardboard packaging, expanding the machine’s potential applications, as does the master roll-to-roll configuration which supports both single- and dual-roll printing, with an optional camera for accurate double-sided printing of block-out media.
The Tauro H3300 UHS uses Agfa’s Anuvia UV LED inks, which are Greenguard Gold-certified, and for which Agfa claims lowest ink consumption on the market. It is driven by Agfa’s Asanti workflow software.
‘The Jeti Tauro was already a synonym for highly productive hybrid printing with advanced automation, yet with the Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS LED, we have raised the bar even more,’ commented Reinhilde Alaert, product manager Sign & Display at Agfa. ‘When developing this new flagship, we went all-out to make it fit for extreme workloads. On top of that, it is a versatile all-in-one machine that can print rigids and sheets as well as roll materials at the highest quality and the lowest ink consumption.’
