The Essential Image Scores Fifth Jeti inkjet from Agfa

The Essential Image, based in Kitchener, Ontario, is one of North America’s largest marketing services companies. Focusing first on water-based printing, it made the leap to UV printing with the purchase of its first Jeti wide-format printer in 2008. 

Pioneering UV inkjet printing

“We were there at the very beginning of UV-based printing,” says Tony Tuka, president of The Essential Image. “We saw endless opportunities with inkjet, and liked the idea of offering a large range of SKUs from one machine.” 

The business has grown exponentially by gaining cutting-edge technology that produces indoor and outdoor applications and short- and long-run print jobs.

The Jeti Tauro H3300 LED from Agfa (Booth C8130) is a productive UV wide-format inkjet engine featuring award-winning print quality with extreme speeds, powerful automation, and low ink consumption. Built for multiple-shift operations and 24/7 printing, these heavy-duty hybrid printers offer additional printheads for faster production. Suited for a wide variety of rigid and flexible substrates, the Jeti Tauro H3300 LED prints up to 3.3m wide with speeds up to 453 sqm/hr (4,876 sqft/hr).
