A versatile, hybrid wide-format printer, the machine is part of the wider Anapurna Ciervo that includes three different models – all of which, Agfa says, are designed for digital print companies and sign shops “looking for a combination of versatility, productivity, and excellent print quality” The H3200 is the fastest of the trio, offering a top printing speed of 192sq m/hr and the ability to print in CMYKcm plus white on materials up to 320cm wide. Those who visit the Agfa stand at The Print Show this year can see the machine in action and speak with experts about the wide range of applications it can be used to produce. “With a print width of 3.2m, UV LED curing, and a six-colour plus white ink set, these print engines are a perfect fit for a wide range of indoor and outdoor print applications,” Agfa says. Alongside the Anapurna Ciervo H3200, Agfa will showcase the latest edition of its Asanti workflow hub and demonstrate to attendees what is possible when its hardware and software are used together. Add in that the stand itself will be produced using equipment from the manufacturer, and as Agfa says this will serve as a real-world example as what is possible with its solutions. “This year, we’re bringing innovation to life on our stand,” says Paul Fitch, regional sales manager for the UK, Ireland and Nordics at Agfa, adding: “We return to The Print Show as it brings together the right audience for our business.” Fitch went on to say that the manufacturer views The Print Show as a “great opportunity” to generate new business and demonstrate how its latest products and services can help customers improve efficiency, productivity, and profitability. “The Print Show is a fantastic platform for live demonstrations and face-to-face discussions, and our goal is to help visitors discover practical ways to expand their capabilities, improve performance, and unlock new revenue streams,” he says. “We’re also looking forward to learning more about the challenges facing the industry and having valuable conversations about future trends and opportunities.” Fitch goes on to say: “We will be demonstrating exciting new solutions, sharing real-world success stories, and showing how businesses can turn new ideas into profitable opportunities. Whether you’re an existing customer or meeting us for the first time, we’d love to discuss your goals and help you find the right solutions to achieve them.” By Rob Fletcher Agfa puts Anapurna Ciervo H3200 centre stage SwissQprint sets productivity focus for The Print Show SwissQprint has revealed that it will use its stand at The Print Show this year to showcase how its technology can help print service providers (PSPs) combine high productivity with dependable day-to-day performance.
