Agfa Graphics has introduced an automated workflow solution for wide format users.
Offering a dedicated option based on its Apogee workflow technology, Asanti is designed for entry level and midsized production companies looking to streamline their productivity, integrate colour consistency and fidelity, and enable fully accountable end-to-end quality management.
Sign and display producers looking to improve efficiency, save time and lower costs across all areas of pre-press and production including file handling, colour management, RIPping and pre-flighting can bring all these elements together in a single PDF-based Asanti workflow.
The result is a cost-effective end-to-end capability that incorporates all the requirements needed from start to finish, ensuring consistency in colour and quality from incoming files, through file editing and RIPping to printing on multiple devices.
Agfa Graphics' Asanti also interfaces with third-party RIPs and print engines. As a production hub that uses a common user interface, it enables operators to take input from various sources, including Asanti StoreFront, standardising functions to ensure consistent colour reliability and profiles, regardless of the type or number of output and finishing devices.
"Agfa Graphics is in the powerful position of having built up many years of expertise with its Apogee workflow for the printing industry,” says Willy van Dromme, director of Marketing Wide Format at Agfa Graphics. “By migrating and adapting the elements relevant for wide-format digital printing, the new Asanti solution brings the sign and display industry a fully optimised solution which seamlessly integrates all tools required, simplifying the use of PDF and bringing the benefits of JDF compliance within reach.”
