SpeedPro of Irving, Texas Installs Agfa Anapurna H3200i LED

The Agfa Anapurna H3200i LED installed at SpeedPro in Irving, Texas.

SpeedPro (Irving, Texas, USA) is known across the USA for providing clients with top-quality large format printing that meets extreme resolution levels and unparalleled quality standards. In its 15th year, the studio consistently exceeds customer demands with unmatched timeliness and the utmost professionalism in delivering a range of print products, including environmental graphics, murals, event, and trade show displays, vehicle wraps, and more.

David Ostermann, CEO of SpeedPro Irving, recognized a market need to fulfill if he upgraded his technology to a sustainable, large-format solution. His research pointed to Agfa’s Anapurna H3200i LED, a UV inkjet system with a printing width of 3.2 m for indoor and outdoor applications. The high-speed, hybrid Anapurna H3200i runs GREENGUARD Gold certified Anapurna 1501 UV LED inkjet inks and offers printing on both rigid and flexible media.

SpeedPro Irving works collaboratively with architectural and design firms in a co-creative approach delivering environmental graphics that communicate their client’s interior design objectives sustainably. Ostermann notes the ability to implement design strategies that embrace lower total VOC emission levels, separates his studio from the competition.

The GREENGUARD Gold standard includes health-based criteria for more than 360 VOCs. It also requires lower total VOC emission levels to ensure that the products are acceptable for use in sensitive indoor environments like schools and healthcare facilities. GREENGUARD Gold certified Anapurna high-performance UV LED inks function well for graphics on interior walls and media applied to glass partitions.

The Anapurna H3200i LED easily outputs two layers of color ink with a white layer in the middle — in one run, in one click — with the Asanti workflow. This color-white-color “sandwich” produces rich, brilliant graphics on translucent media.

Anapurna, and all Agfa’s UV inkjet inks, offer ‘thin ink layer’ technology, thereby consuming less ink per square foot, thus saving on consumable expenses while resulting in dazzling prints. With a wide color gamut, Agfa UV LED inks dry fast and perform well on a variety of roll and rigid media.
