In recognition of Onset Panthera FB3216 and MAX automation ecosystem for the Jeti Tauro platform, Agfa has won two 2026 Pinnacle Product Awards from PRINTING United Alliance. First, the Onset Panthera FB3216 has been recognized in the RTR/Hybrid/Flatbed New Technology category, while MAX automation solutions for the Jeti Tauro earned the award in the Non-Output – Automation Equipment category. The Onset Panthera FB3216 is the only true flatbed press on the market, designed specifically for high-volume, high-performance flatbed production, reaching top speeds of 1514sqm across sign & display and packaging applications. At its core is an integrated LED curing system that enables a wider color gamut and the ability to produce high-quality satin and high-gloss results at production speeds.
Its LED curing approach also enables gloss control without varnish, allowing print service providers to produce high-gloss effects directly in production. Combined with the Onset LED ink set, based on Agfa’s Thin Ink Layer technology, the system supports low ink consumption and reduced energy use, helping lower operating costs and environmental impact. Optional automation features further enhance the Panthera’s functionality, including a laytable or autoloader, combined with loading and unloading robots. MAX automation ecosystem for the Jeti Tauro H3300 platform is designed to help print service providers struggling under rising labor costs, tighter turnaround expectations, and growing pressure to maximize equipment utilization. These features move wide-format production beyond isolated machine speed toward fully integrated production efficiency, combining high-speed hybrid printing with integrated robotic substrate handling, motorised media guides, and flexible rigid and roll-to-roll production. The MAX BOT robotic handling system enables print service providers to scale automation based on current needs while keeping a clear path for future expansion.
