The Cornish printer signed the 650,000 deal, which includes the latest in workflow software, just one minute after the shows doors opened.
TJ International chief executive Angus Clark said: "It was worth coming early to take in such an impressive show."
The B1 platesetters imaging system is built around Grating Light Valve (GLV) technology and a 50w laser. It can output over 20 plates per hour. It is available in a range of configurations including manual output, single-cassette automation and full PlateManager automation.
TJ International, which has 150 employees working on a 24-hour shift pattern, has worked with Agfa on the development of its Apogee PDF-based digital workflows for nearly six years. Clark said that the latest deal sealed the relationship between the firms.
TJ Internationals pre-press department also
operates Agfas Avantra imagesetters along with Galileo platesetters.
