Agfa’s Jeti Tauro H3300 LED inkjet printer adds another award to its impressive track record, receiving the European Digital Press Association (EDP) Award at FESPA in the ‘Large & Wide Format Printing Systems’ category for ‘Best Flatbed/Hybrid Printer >250m²/h’.

According to the EDP’s Technical Committee, the Jeti Tauro H3300 LED “combines print quality, low ink consumption and productivity with short make-ready times.
“Thanks to the rapid UV LED curing of Agfa’s signature high-pigmented UV inks and the Asanti software, the hybrid UV inkjet workhorse exceeds expectations every time. It is a rugged hybrid printer for high utilization and round-the-clock printing in multiple shifts. This is what industrial printing means.”
Next to the manual loading and unloading, semi-automation, and full automation modes, the Jeti Tauro H3300 LED (pictured above) offers a master roll-to-roll option, which enables the combination of roll and board applications in a single high-volume UV LED wide-format press. Featuring an outstanding default resolution in all print modes, the engine produces prints of up to 3.3m wide at speeds up to 453 m²/h and fast white printing. It is the only UV LED inkjet solution to support single and dual master rolls for uninterrupted operations.
The Durst P5 350 (above) triumphed in the EDP Flatbed/Hybrid Printer < 250 square meters/hour category.
The EDP Technical Committee’s citation said particularly noticeable are the further developments in reel loading and material handling of this production printer that runs at speeds up to 120 square meters per hour. It also complimented Durst’s foresight for meeting topical needs in the market and Durst Analytics preemptive diagnostics and advanced software — all demonstrated by Durst Professional Services at FESPA.
“The multi-roll option is using compact and robust design,” said the report. “The Durst P5 offers patented quick printhead change, fast media reel loading by two positions for single and dual rolls and foldable roll tables. It also offers automatic detection of media wide and thickness, an intelligent multi-board in-feed for up to six boards simultaneously. The P5 core values are productivity, print quality, versatility and efficiency.”
