The AGFA Anapurna H2500i UV Printer is the latest print technology from AGFA and the latest investment for B2B Graphics, brought in 2017; it combines high quality with high productivity for indoor and outdoor wide format printing. The white ink function on this printer enables us to widen our range of products with capability of printing to transparent or coloured materials. The LED UV lights save energy as they don’t get too hot but they also save time, so not only is it excellent for the environment but we can also print to heat sensitive materials. The cured inks are durable and weather proof for up to 3 years without a laminate.
The Anapurna is a hybrid printer so is capable of roll-to-roll printing (maximum width 2500mm) and rigid board printing (maximum size of 2500mm x 3200mm) and maximum thickness 45mm.

It also enables us to apply self-adhesive graphics to rigid panels which means that we can offer our customers an alternative to direct print which may be more suited to there requirements. With a maximum material thickness of 90mm we are also able to apply graphics to materials that may not be suited for direct UV Printing.

Purchased in 2017 the A1 Pneumatic press has allowed us to venture into dye sublimated printing. The sublimation process relies on specialised inks that when heated change to a gas. As the gas encounters polymer fibers it will penetrate and permanently dye them. Due to inks penetrating the surface the end results are vibrant and photo-realistic images, which are durable, long lasting and can be produced on a wide range of products for both promotional items and personal one off bespoke products.
