Agfa’s Jeti Mira LED Inkjet Engine Wins 2019 SGIA Product of the Year Award

Agfa announced that its Jeti Mira 2732 HS LM LED printing system has been named as the winner of the 2019 Product of the Year by the Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA) in the UV/Latex Flatbed ($200,000 – $500,000) category.

The Jeti Mira features a moving-gantry flatbed specifically designed to offer optimal flexi-bility. The Jeti Mira is 8.82 feet wide (2.69 meters wide), features print and prepare func-tionality, a dockable roll-to-roll option, two table versions, and prints at speeds up to 2,669 ft²/h (248 m²/hr).

The Jeti Mira is a six color (white color standard) system with highly-pigmented UV inks and two rows of fast-firing Ricoh inkjet printheads. The system’s UV LED curing technolo-gy offers minimal heat output.

“Our specially-formulated UV LED inks are ideal for heat-sensitive substrates while at the same time reducing energy consumption, increasing productivity and ultimately yielding a higher ROI in the long run. Agfa-made UV inks also boast a wide color gamut and high col-or vibrancy in both indoor and outdoor applications, while our Asanti color management optimization ensures low ink consumption,” said Deborah Hutcheson, Agfa, director of marketing.
