Agfa has announced it has secured three prestigious 2025 Pinnacle Product Awards, presented by PRINTING United Alliance. The company’s Onset Panthera FB3216, Onset Panthera Autoloader, and Jeti Tauro MAX BOTS were each recognized for their outstanding innovation and impact in advancing print quality, automation, and productivity.

The Pinnacle Product Awards celebrate outstanding products that drive advancements in quality, capability, and productivity within the printing industry.

“We are immensely proud to receive three Pinnacle Product awards. Having won these awards in the past, including its predecessor, the Product of the Year award, this continued recognition is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence in inkjet printing. It also reinforces our mission to empower print service providers with cutting-edge print technology. We look forward to showcasing our now award-winning products at PRINTING United Expo 2025,” says  Arnaud Calleja, vice-president of Digital Printing Solutions at Agfa

Both the Onset Panthera with Autoloader and the Jeti Tauro with Load MAX Bot and Flex Roll-to-Roll system will be demonstrated live at PRINTING United Expo 2025 in Orlando, 22–24 October. Visitors are invited to experience these innovations first-hand and discover how Agfa is shaping the future of print automation and quality.

Onset Panthera FB3216

The Onset Panthera FB3216 is the latest addition to the Onset product line. It is the only true flatbed press in the market that is built for high volume and high-performance jobs, serving both the sign & display and packaging communities.

The Panthera leaps further than its predecessors thanks to the integrated energy-efficient LED curing technology and outstanding gloss levels for a UV inkjet device, producing sellable production quality in 2-pass satin or 2-pass high gloss, both resulting in a productivity of 1514 m²/h (16,297 ft²/h) or 296 beds per hour.

Onset Panthera Autoloader

The Panthera Autoloader is an advanced automation system that ensures the Panthera printer operates at its full potential, harnessing its high-speed capabilities. By automating the substrate feeding and handling processes, the Autoloader, which seamlessly matches the printer’s maximum speed, significantly reduces labor costs and enhances operational efficiency. When combined with MAX Bot robotic unloading, it becomes the ideal solution for high-volume print operations in the sign & display and packaging markets.

Jeti Tauro MAX BOTS

Agfa has maximized the versatility and flexibility of its Jeti Tauro H3300 system through the addition of robotic media handling, thereby achieving ultimate production efficiency and automation.

The Jeti Tauro H3300 can be equipped with a single robot for loading or unloading media or a dual robot system to completely automate printing operations. The MAX BOTS can be combined with Agfa’s MAX Flex RTR module for the utmost flexible automation for both rigid and roll substrates. With virtually no interruption, PSPs can easily switch between rigid and roll printing, ensuring the highest level of productivity.
