Hybrid Anapurna LED Series

The wide-format hybrid Anapurna i LED-series is a perfect fit for sign shops, digital printers, photo labs and mid-size graphic screen printers that want to combine board and roll-to-roll print jobs. The engines print at a width up to 3.2 m and combine excellent quality with high productivity for outdoor and indoor jobs. The hybrid Anapurna’s are equipped with UV LED lamps, enabling you to print on a wider media mix and to save energy, costs and time. The white ink function creates possibilities for printing on transparent material for backlit applications or for printing white as a spot color. With the optional automatic board feeder, productivity is increased even more.

Reliable workhorse

Featuring a robust and industrial engineered concept fit for sustained higher workloads, and incorporating the latest generation of fast-firing print heads, the hybrid Anapurna i-series with UV-LED curing offers fast throughput while also achieving excellent print quality. You will be able to maintain a high print production on all your substrates, satisfying your most demanding customers. Borderless or multiple boards printing increase productivity even more

A wide range of applications

The Anapurna i LED-series adds more versatility to your business as it expands your range of applications. It produces top-quality prints on uncoated rigid media, such as corrugated boards, rigid plastics, exhibition panels, stage graphics and advertising panels, as well as on roll media such as film, vinyl and paper, banners, canvas and coated textile. It can also be used to print niche products such as wood, DVDs or personalized objects, or to create architectural and interior decoration.

The use of specialty inks and the little heat generated by the LED array passing over the substrate allows you to print on a wider range of materials. As a result, the engines can print on thin heat-sensitive styrene as well as everything from foils and laminates to coated paper, PET, fluted polypropylene, soft foam boards, or industrial film.

Top quality

Thanks to a reinforced belt drive and shuttle beam, the hybrid Anapurna i LED printers bring a highly accurate dot positioning and thus excellent image quality, which is further enhanced by the gradient and multi-layer functionality. The six 12 picolitre color heads (four color heads for the Anapurna H1650i LED) guarantee printing of good solids, fine text reproduction of up to 4 pt, good tonal rendering and low ink consumption. The two 30 picolitre white ink heads will allow you to print white in multiple modes.

Multiple board and automatic board printing

The Anapurna H2050i and H2500i can have an automatic board feeder added in order to increase productivity substantially. This optional table provides an automated solution for volume printing of small board sizes—up to four boards can be printed in parallel on the Anapurna H2050i LED and up to five boards on the Anapurna H2500i LED. The borderless printing feature makes post-finishing superfluous.

Agfa’s UV-curable LED inks: always spot on

Relying on LED technology, our specially-formulated UV LED inks can print on heat-sensitive substrates, thus broadening the scope of possible applications. They are both customized and versatile, developed with a view of the many different media they are intended for, as well as the specifications of different print engines. Our inks for flexible media, for example, are perfectly suited for stretchable and bendable materials.

Vivid prints, low ink consumption

Thanks to the high pigment load of our inks, ink consumption per square meter is the lowest on the market. This ‘thin ink layer’ pigment dispersion technology not only results in eye-catching prints; it also helps preserve the environment and saves on your budget. In short, these inks offer the best possible price/quality ratio.

Advanced white printing and white ink management

Printing on backlit media? Creating an opaque white background? Using white as a spot color? The hybrid Anapurna LEDs supports white printing in multiple modes (e.g. pre-white, post-white, sandwich white) on both rigid and roll media. The stirring functionality keeps the white ink in motion at all times. Constant recirculation flows along the ink lines–all the way to the temperature-controlled printer heads–limiting the risk of ink resettling and lines becoming blocked or clogged.

Powered by Asanti

The Anapurna hybrid printers are driven by Agfa Graphics’ Asanti wide-format workflow software, which controls the entire printing process from prepress to production and finishing. As such, it simplifies, optimizes and automates as many steps as possible, offering you a high-performance solution for increased productivity.

Accuracy and consistency

The huge variety of file types to be handled significantly slows down the processing of print jobs and often leads to errors. These difficulties are overcome with the Asanti software. As the print settings for different media are stored in a database, Asanti is able to quickly call up the appropriate specifications and apply them. Rendering, image and color quality are automated, and Asanti checks files prior to printing, ensuring layers and transparency have been handled correctly, while flagging potential issues. By dramatically simplifying the task of the operator, reducing idle time and efficiently tackling issues prior to printing, turnaround is reduced and productivity is increased.

StoreFront web-to-print software

Intuitive GUI

The Asanti GUI works with improved visualization of the job layout and positioning: operators can see exactly what they are printing. The GUI offers access to key print parameters to make sure any last-minute changes are quick and easy to apply. Job preparation takes place independently from the Anapurna operation due to the client-server infrastructure. This complements the autonomy of the machine beautifully; ensuring operators are not tied to the printer when other tasks demand their attention.

StoreFront

StoreFront, a comprehensive web-to-print service, is designed to handle incoming
orders from the internet. Automated payment processing and error-free print
preparation ensure new jobs are ready for printing in no time and with a minimum
of operator intervention.
