Bengaluru-based Ace Media Solutions already has an Agfa Jeti Titan HS – UV Flatbed with roll-to-roll, two Agfa Jeti-3324 – 24 head large format solvent printer, Roland Eco Solvent Printing Machine, HP Latex 8-feet inkjet printers, AXYZ Router Machine, 4 x 8 Lazar Cutting machines and 20 lamination and mounting machines. Now the company has invested in another Agfa machine – Jeti Titan S and HS – which is a true flat-bed, 3-metre wide, UVcurable printers that achieves speed up to 160 square metres an hour and come with a flat-to-roll option. The company is capable of delivering 25,000 square feet a day.

Agfa Jeti Titan S and HS 

The Titan S is equipped with one row of printheads. The Titan HS has two rows offering even greater productivity. Both the machines are part of a complete package which also includes the Asanti workflow software and dedicated inks. They come with a flat-to-roll option giving you the ability to print on roll media with the same resolution.

The flat-to-roll feature makes it possible to print roll material up to 3.2 metre wide with the same high quality and resolution as rigid materials. The machine can handle rolls of up to 113 kilograms so you can buy media economically and compete in even more markets. Pre and post-white printing are standard options with both the models. The available modes include overprint, under-print, spot, under-spot, fill and over-spot for rigids and pre-white for roll media.

The Jeti Titan’s white ink system is designed to eliminate the resettling problems associated with the components of white ink. The white ink bulk tank is in non-stop motion using a stirring mechanism. Constant circulation flow through the lines all the way to the heads is maintained at an optimized ink temperature to keep nozzles from clogging.

Difficult substrates can pose adhesion and durability challenges in inkjet printing. These include polypropylene, PMMA/acrylic, polystyrene and polycarbonate. With the primer option, users can select to have the primer applied automatically, either as a fill (the whole area) or mask (printed areas only). A speedy pre-printing application of primer is automatically laid down to create excellent surface tension for better results. The UVcured primer formulation is specifically designed for optimal results with the Ricoh Gen 5 heads on the Titan S/HS.

For adding value, the Titan S/HS with varnish is an opportunity. Used as a ‘spot’ varnish, it can add dramatic effects to many applications including POP displays, packaging, decorative prints and trade show graphics. Agfa Graphics’ specially formulated UVcurable varnish is compatible with almost all standard UV printing media and cures to a perfect sheen in gloss, or with a semi-gloss effect. The varnish option is factory installed only (not field upgradeable).

Other features include shuttle safety sensors that prevent the print heads from touching the substrate thus preventing damage, automatic head height adjustment. Advanced GUI design providing functionalities such as scaling, stepping and reprints is default delivered with Asanti Render – designed to integrate with the full Asanti workflow while also being open to third-party RIPs.
