After the Jeti Tauro H3300 LED, where the company had both the roll-to-roll and fully automated configurations running, attendees were invited into their main showroom, where 11 other Agfa presses were up and running, along with a wide selection of samples, on nearly every type of substrate imaginable.
An Extreme Philosophy
To kick off the event, Worldwide Marketing Director, Willy Van Dromme hosted attendees at a reception, with a wide range of “cubes” demonstrating the various Agfa capabilities and abilities. He then went on to walk attendees through Agfa’s “extreme” campaign, that sums up what the company hopes to accomplish:
- Extreme quality
- Extreme total cost of ownership
- Extreme productivity
- Extreme support
“We see four pillars that contribute to the value that we offer to our customers,” says Van Dromme. ”These four things define what we call our ‘value proposition model.’” He went on to note that their execution in all four of these areas have clearly worked, with 2017 coming in as the best year for their inkjet product line yet. And, he noted, considering the company also celebrated their 150th anniversary this year, with a constant goal of improving their technology, services and products, that is a major accomplishment.
The Jeti Tauro H3300 LED Specs
The Jeti Tauro H3300 LED is a large press – the company deliberately designed it so printers can run two master rolls side-by-side, running a full bleed while still having room in the material for pockets and other types of finishing. The roll-to-roll configuration can run a single roll up to 123 inches, or two 63-inch rolls in tandem, as opposed to the more standard 60 inches. In the flatbed configuration, media up to 130 inches wide can be used, as well as any combination of sizes up to that.
