Agfa reveals its new baby M-Press

Agfa has launched a smaller, manual version of its M-Press Tiger flatbed inkjet press, the M-Press Leopard, at Fespa Digital.

The M-Press Leopard uses the same inkjet shuttle technology as the Tiger, meaning it can match it for print quality and speed, and is intended for jobs that require more manual handling. However, at €900,000, the Leopard comes in at a substantially lower price point than its €1.3m to €1.8m high-end sibling.

Tom Cloots, business line manager for M-Press inkjet at Agfa Graphics, said the press was ideal for analogue screen printers moving into digital.

The press has a maximum print size of 1.6mx2.6m and can handle substrates up to 50mm thick. It also features instant curing technology.
