Agfa unveils latest 5m-wide Agfa Jeti printer

Agfa has unveiled the latest addition to its Jeti series of wide-format printers, the 5048 UV XL, which is targeting the 5m-wide UV-curable inkjet market.

The manufacturer's new machine is available in two configurations. The first model is designed for the printing of building wraps and billboards while the second model is being pitched at point-of-sale applications.

The machine, which will be on show at Fespa Digital next month, offers print speeds of up to 300sqm an hour and supports simultaneous printing of up to three rolls of the same media type.

According to Agfa, because the machine features UV curing no pre-treatment of each substrate is required. The machine also features a multi-roll option that allows for different roll sizes to be fed at the same time.

In addition to the new Jeti, Agfa will use Fespa Digital to showcase kit including its Jeti 1224 HDC FTR, the Jeti 3020 Titan and the recently-launched Anapurna M1600.
