Agfa sells first M-Press Leopard

Agfa has made the first sale of its Fespa-launched M-Press Leopard flatbed inkjet press to Dambach Print + Service.

The German screen printer signed for the machine to complement its set-up that includes a five-colour Thieme screen printing line.

"We see a huge potential to grow in our market because of the versatility and flexibility the Leopard will offer us," said Heinz-Peter Bachman, owner of Dambach-Bachman group.

The €900,000 Leopard incorporates the same inkjet shuttle technology as the Tiger, enabling it can match the €1.3m to €1.8m Tiger for print quality and speed, but with manual handling.
