Agfa Graphics launches Asanti 3.0 workflow software
Agfa has introduced Asanti 3.0, the latest version of its automated production hub and workflow tool for sign and display printers.
The new version is said to offer wide-format printers new functionalities, more integration possibilities and added automation.
New functions are combined with Agfa’s signature colour management platform, automatic pre-flighting and a new graphic user interface for tiling huge jobs.
Version 3.0 also allows for integration with third-party print equipment, MIS platforms, and in-house software including PrintSphere and StoreFront.
“It really is a complete production hub that streamlines the entire workflow from beginning to end,” said Agfa Graphics workflow solutions marketing manager Erik Peeters.
“As such, it allows print professionals to avoid errors and minimise manual interventions, shorten pre-press procedures and thus simplify the entire printing process.”
One of the new features in Asanti 3.0 is IntelliTune, which automatically analyses and improves image quality by optimising skin tones or eliminating noise or blurriness.
Also new is proofing support with QuickProof, which helps to avoid waste, an improved digital alternative for see-through graphics on clear material, optimised automation with the use of new parameter presets, and smart image repetition possibilities to further increase productivity.
Additionally, Asanti Color Management, the advanced mode that allows printers to use a wizard for managing colours and shortening throughput time, now features new white printing options.

The importance of ink for large format printers
Ink is crucial for large format inkjet printers, influencing substrate compatibility, productivity, and cost. Nessan Cleary discusses the three main types which include UV-curable ink, latex ink and eco-solvent ink. Each ink type has specific strengths and weaknesses, making printers choice dependent on budget and intended applications.
What are the benefits of Direct-To-Fabric printing?
Direct-to-fabric printing is gaining popularity for high-volume textile production, enabling on-demand, customized short runs. These printers offer ink flexibility, accommodating various fabric types like cotton and silk, though ink development focuses on faster turnaround by reducing pre- and post-processing. Compared to traditional methods, direct-to-fabric inkjet printing is a more sustainable option due to reduced water and chemical usage, and localized production.
What are the opportunities for large format providers regarding digital touch screens?
Digital touchscreens are becoming increasingly common, offering businesses opportunities to improve customer engagement and streamline operations. Nessan Cleary shares, while more expensive to implement than standard digital displays due to complex software and integration needs, touchscreens provide self-service options, multilingual support, and can reduce staffing costs in various settings like retail, transportation, and healthcare.
