Building on the success of the Anapurna Ciervo H3200 at FESPA Brazil 2024, with five new installations in Brazil alone, Agfa is expanding the Ciervo family with the Ciervo H2500, making its Latin American debut at the show.
This 2.5 m wide high-performance hybrid printer features six-color + white GREENGUARD Gold-certified inks, delivering vibrant prints with minimal cost and environmental impact.
Designed for versatility and efficiency, it ensures high-quality results across banners, vinyl, glass, and coated textiles, making it ideal for sign & display, POS, and fine art prints.
Additionally, both the Ciervo H3200 and H2500 now support optional corrugated media feed guides, enabling precise and reliable printing on corrugated cardboard for both packaging and POS applications.
Powered by Agfa’s Asanti software, the Ciervo H2500 LED ensures an efficient workflow with superior color management and consistency.
Jeti Bronco H3300S, Power With Extreme Quality
Another hybrid printer that will be showcased on the booth, the new Jeti Bronco H3300S, fills the gap between the Anapurna and Jeti Tauro families, offering a perfect blend of high quality and industrial productivity.
This model is an excellent choice for businesses requiring premium results with the efficiency to meet high-demand, short-term delivery services.
Both the Ciervo and the Bronco are designed for roll-to-roll as well as rigid materials, delivering exceptional productivity while maintaining the cost efficiency Agfa is known for.
The Jeti Bronco H3300S boasts 6 colors + white and is equipped with printheads that deliver resolutions up to 2400 dpi. It ensures optimized productivity with continuous feeding of single or multiple plates, and offers the flexibility of a field upgrade, allowing the printer to expand from 2 to 4 rows of print heads.
Asanti Workflow Software
“We’ve always been leaders in software solutions, and our deep expertise positions us as a strategic player in the printing industry. Agfa offers more than just printers – we deliver consistency, standardization, control, integration, and efficiency,” says Paulo Amaral.
At FESPA Brazil, Agfa will showcase its workflow software in a dedicated demonstration area, with a team of experts on hand to help printing companies improve productivity, cost control, and process efficiency.
Asanti software integrates the entire production flow, minimizing manual interventions and reducing errors. The browser-based dashboard interfaces with MIS/ERP systems to finetune quotes, track production time, and monitor ink and material consumption.
The latest version includes features like automated job grouping and tools tailored for packaging production. Agfa will also show the new dashboard, which consolidates key production metrics such as ink/material consumption and printer usage.
Industrial Inkjet Solutions
Agfa’s industrial inkjet experts will be on the booth to discuss how integrating inkjet printing into industrial environments boosts versatility and cost-effectiveness.
Agfa offers complete systems like the InterioJet, a multi-pass water-based inkjet for decorative paper, and Alussa, which prints stunning designs on genuine leather – both awarded by the European Digital Press.
