Agfa Graphics has launched a dedicated 3.2m roll-to-roll printer with UV LED curing and optional white printing capability. The Jeti Ceres RTR 3200 LED system - capable of printing on diverse single and dual roll media at speeds of up to 186m²/hr - will be on display at C!Print Lyon (31 Jan - 2 Feb 2) and Sign and Print Scandinavia (7 - 9 Feb).
“The Jeti Ceres RTR3200 LED could be considered the roll-to-roll equivalent of the reknowned Jeti Titan series. Our goal with this new engine is to maximise productivity while staying true to Agfa Graphics’ industry-leading image quality and low ink consumption, which is why we bring a roll-to-roll alternative in the Jeti product family. This engine is no lightweight. It’s is the workhorse for roll-to-roll applications,” said Reinhilde Alaert, marketing product manager, sign and display high-end.
Using Agfa Graphics’ UV LED-cured inks, the company said the Jeti Ceres can print on heat-sensitive media without warping or wrinkling them. It is equipped with white ink circulation that extends along the entire ink line.
The Jeti Ceres also has a primer option. The engine pre-prints a fine layer of primer automatically before depositing ink, preparing the top layer for ideal surface tension to better receive ink.
