The Leopard uses the same inkjet shuttle technology as the Tiger, meaning it can match it for print quality and speed, and is intended for jobs that require more manual handling. However, the Leopard comes in at a substantially lower price point than its high-end sibling.
Manesh Shetty, manager for sales and marketing in Indian sub continent at Agfa Graphics, said the press was ideal for analogue screen printers moving into digital. The press has a maximum print size of 1.6mx2.6m and can handle substrates of up to 50mm thick. It also features instant curing technology.
Agfa in India is hoping to build on its 70-installation base for Jeti. Shetty has set a target of 20 units in the next few months for both, the water-based and varnish series.
