Agfa is showcasing the power of Onset Panthera FB3216 at FESPA 2025 Berlin (6-9 May at Messe Berlin, Germany). The Onset Panthera FB3216 leaps ahead of the pack with a powerful, versatile solution for high-volume graphics and packaging. With the speed and power of its namesake, the flatbed press prowls through high-volume print jobs with fierce precision, adapting seamlessly to the demands of both graphics and packaging applications. Panthera FB3216 is built to sweep through print jobs at breathtaking speeds, reaching up to 1514sqm/h or 296 beds per hour. Its heavy-duty construction ensures non-stop operation, while the advanced print carriage delivers flawless, banding-free prints. Like a panther’s leap, each print is executed with smooth, fluid motion, eliminating bi-directional artifacts and boosting image quality through multiple bed movements.
Panthera’s advanced LED curing system is its secret weapon. With a unique, staged curing approach – two LED units at the front, one at the rear – each layer is dried with predatory precision, ensuring strong adhesion, a wider color gamut, and dazzling high-gloss finishes. Existing Onset printers can be upgraded with this functionality, ensuring its benefits are accessible to everyone. LED curing brings additional gains for energy efficiency. Instantaneous activation and deactivation means LED lamps consume no energy during returning passes, load/unload cycles, or while waiting for the next job. Whether tackling striking retail graphics, fast-turnaround POS materials, or corrugated POP displays and packaging, Panthera adapts effortlessly to any task. Its robust platform handles media from delicate 200gsm coated paper up to 46 mm thick board, and sizes up to 3.22 x 1.6m. (PHOTO: LFR)
