European Digital Press Association rewards two products from Agfa Graphics
Today, the winners of the EDP Awards 2015 were announced at FESPA 2015. Agfa Graphics’ Asanti color management and the Anapurna M3200i roll-to-roll wide-format printer were recognized for their excellence.
Mortsel, Belgium – May 20, 2015
The European Digital Press Association grants the EDP Awards to the best products of the year introduced in the European market. It reviews quality, but also aspects such as value to the user, support and service.
Agfa Graphics is proud to have been rewarded with this quality and innovation mark for:
· Asanti Color Management Best color management solution
Asanti is a complete and affordable automatic Sign & Display production hub, including PDF creation and preflighting. Asanti features the latest Adobe APPE technology, resulting in a reliable and predictable output on a wide range of Agfa Graphics' and non-Agfa Graphics' printers, Asanti integrates with Asanti Storefront web-to-print and connects to cutting and finishing equipment. Its built-in color management is unique and easy to use. It guarantees consistent color quality with minimal effort.
· Anapurna M3200i RTR Best wide format roll-to-roll printer up to 3.3 m
Anapurna M3200i RTR is a dedicated roll-to-roll UV-curable inkjet printer, which comes in a six color version, a four color version, and a four color plus white version. It handles a broad scope of flexible media for indoor and outdoor applications. The four color plus white version made its debut at FESPA 2015 in Cologne and stands out by its ability to print white in different modes to improve the opacity of the printed material as well as increase color contrast and readability. It thus transforms self-adhesive vinyl, PVC banners or backlit film into vibrant, multi-dimensional graphics that grab attention.
