Agfa’s “inkjet printing beasts gallop” into FESPA Barcelona

Agfa will bring a selection of its wide-format inkjet solutions to FESPA Barcelona this May, demonstrating its fully renewed portfolio that it says offers a “powerful printing beast” for every need.

After several years of focused innovation across engines, inks, software, and automation, the company says it will demonstrate how its evolved portfolio now delivers measurable impact for print service providers, that is fully aligned with its Powerful by Nature branding.

At booth D100 in Hall 3, Agfa will showcase a strong selection of its wide-format systems, highlighting some of the many configurations that can be tailored to different production environments.

 “The past years have been defined by intensive innovation at Agfa: reinventing engines, expanding automation, evolving our software platforms, and strengthening our ink technologies. That investment has brought us to a new chapter. Today, our portfolio stands for more than innovation alone – it stands for impact. We now offer a complete, future-ready ecosystem that helps customers increase efficiency, broaden their application range, improve quality, and produce more sustainably. Yet we’re not stopping here. Continuous improvement is built into our roadmap, with further enhancements across our engine families. At FESPA Barcelona, we invite visitors to experience how this evolution translates into real-world value and to discover which powerful beast fits their ambitions,” says Vincent Wille, President Digital Printing Solutions at Agfa.

The fully automated Onset Panthera flatbed press combines extreme speed with robust construction and minimal downtime. It will be shown with its autoloader and unloader robot to demonstrate its maximum throughput potential.

Also on display is the Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS, part of the Tauro family, delivering performance with advanced automation options designed for continuous, high-volume output.

Making its European show debut is the Jeti Bronco H3300 HS, a hybrid wide-format UV LED printer that seamlessly bridges the gap between the Ciervo and Tauro families on both speed and price. It delivers versatility, strong productivity, and premium print quality thanks to its seven-colour plus white ink set and broad media-handling capabilities.

The Anapurna Ciervo H2500 adds further versatility with its hybrid design for rigid and flexible substrates up to 2.5 metres wide, engineered for precise, high-quality results.

The latest release of Asanti workflow (v8) will also be demonstrated, introducing deeper automation, smarter media handling, extended cutter support, improved colour rendering, and advanced job sorting and layout capabilities.

Across the booth, visitors will find a wide array of real application samples — including prints on corrugated cardboard, folding carton, vinyl, banner, foam PVC, and Agfa’s own durable synthetic paper, SYNAPS.

This comprehensive showcase will highlight the creative possibilities, production quality, and commercial value enabled by Agfa’s ecosystem.

Agfa’s inkjet specialists from the sign & display, industrial, and packaging segments will be available to discuss application development, sustainability improvements, ink advancements, workflow automation strategies, and long-term strategic investment considerations.
