The 3.2m-wide machine enables users to create large-format soft signage prints at 1,440x540dpi. The Avinci features six channels, CMYK plus light cyan and light magenta, and uses a fixed 14pl droplet size that offers a wider colour gamut. Printing at speeds of up to 173sqm/hr for flag applications and 60sqm/hr in high-quality mode, the machine can handle a variety of polyester-based applications, such as banners, POS, outdoor graphics and flags.
Agfa’s Asanti 3.0 workflow software, which was launched last month and is integrated with the machine, uses an algorithm to drive its low-waste colour management platform. It also has automatic pre-flighting and integrated tiling, which means oversized banners or billboards that extend beyond the maximum printing width of the Avinci can still be produced. It creates mounting instructions and adds necessary marks to tiled prints to help operators mount swiftly.
The Avinci is also integrated with Asanti PrintSphere, launched last Drupa, a cloud-based data-sharing service that allows files to be switched between customers and operators.
