Agfa has shown-off its new SpeedSet 1060 sheet-fed inkjet printer which it is currently fine-tuning in collaboration with several early adopters in the packaging market.
At an event at Agfa’s Cambridge manufacturing facility, the company provided a live demo and up-close look at the technology. “The SpeedSet is set to be a game-changer in the packaging printing market”, said head of packaging at Agfa, Matt Brooks. “This fully digital packaging printing press merges the robustness and print excellence of an offset press with the compelling attributes of inkjet printing. It offers offset-like print quality yet boasts shorter setup times, reduced material waste, and efficient variable data printing. On top of that, it has a killer speed of 11,000 B1 sheets per hour. Print runs up to 5,000 will be cheaper on the SpeedSet.”
