At InPrint 2022 (Munich, March 15-17), industrial inkjet expert Agfa will show how manufacturers from diverse industry segments can achieve unequaled flexibility, cost-efficiency and speed of delivery through the integration of inkjet printing in their production processes.

Agfa will present its latest innovations for industrial printing applications:

• High-performance inkjet inks – both UV and water-based pigment premium-quality inks – targeting a wide array of applications across several market sectors, including marking & coding, security documents, product printing, and interior decoration, laminate surfaces and corrugated packaging. These inks are developed for state-of-the-art, often custom-made printing systems in cooperation with OEM partners, print head manufacturers, system integrators and end-users.

“Agfa inks are developed as part of a complete solution approach,” says Marc Graindourze, Business Manager Industrial Inks. “They do not only perfectly match the print system, but they are also meticulously tuned to the specific application. Our focus is delivering consistent print results.”

• Integrated industrial inkjet printing systems such as the InterioJet inkjet press for the printing of décor paper for laminate surfaces, and the Alussa inkjet printing system for leather decoration. Both systems recently obtained an EDP award from the European Digital Press association, which honors the best digital printing products introduced on the European market in the preceding year in terms of quality, value to the user, support and service.

Mike Horsten, Global Business Manager InterioJet states: “The InterioJet provides unique opportunities to companies in the surface industry, meeting the demand for fast market introductions with customized designs. As a digital print system, it surpasses the technical limitations of gravure printing. When developing the InterioJet, we closely cooperated with industry partners to ensure that it lived up to all laminated requirements, and also fitted in seamlessly with the existing laminate manufacturing processes.”

Think Ink. Think Print. Think Agfa.

The Agfa team will showcase its technical expertise, knowledge and understanding of the diversity of industrial applications where print can be integrated into a manufacturing environment, taking into account pre- and post-printing processes.

Tom Cloots, Director Industrial Inkjet, comments: “Inkjet printing is a game-changer for many industrial applications. Any industrial company interested in a more diverse product offering and a more efficient production flow should consider the integration of inkjet print. We invite them to visit the Agfa booth at InPrint to discuss what inkjet printing can do for them, and to envision the future. We will encourage them to think print, to think ink, and when doing so, to think Agfa – as we believe we are the best possible partner to accompany them on their growth paths.”

Visitors to the booth will not only be able to discuss potential business expansion options through Agfa’s technology, but they will also get the opportunity to experience a wide variety of unique and exciting print samples, including digitally printed laminate surfaces, furniture edge bands, printed retail products, and corrugated cardboard.
