Agfa to demonstrate the power of flexibility at PRINTING United Expo 2026

Onset Panthera

Agfa is set to bring its comprehensive portfolio of digital printing solutions to the Las Vegas Convention Center in September, as part of PRINTING United Expo 2026. Attendees will experience Agfa’s latest innovations in inkjet systems, automation and workflow software, designed around the realities of sign & display and packaging production.

The business will demonstrate four of its wide-format printing systems, including the highly automated Onset Panthera. The only true flatbed high-productivity inkjet printer in the market, Onset Panthera will be shown with a lay table and unloading robot. PRINTING United visitors will get a first-hand look at the press, which can operate at speeds of up to 16,249 ft²/h, combining enviable throughput with consistently high print quality.

Attendees can watch the fastest hybrid press on the market, the Jeti Tauro H3300 XUHS, in full flight. Running at up to 13,778 ft²/h, it pairs full robotic automation with the versatility of a robust hybrid design. Visitors will see it work hands-free with MAX BOTS robots loading rigid sheets and high-speed unattended roll-to-roll printing via the MAX Flex RTR module, switching between the two without an operator lifting a finger.

The Jeti Bronco H3300 HS will also be in action. This versatile hybrid system combines speeds of up to 4,844ft²/h with rigid and roll media capabilities and is available with a seven-color plus white ink set, as well as optional varnish or primer.

The Anapurna Ciervo H3200 wide-format hybrid printer will be shown with dual-roll printing. The machine makes up one of three sizes manufacturers can choose from in the Ciervo line, which includes the 3.2-meter Anapurna Ciervo H3200, the 2.5m H2500, and the compact 2.05m H2050.

Agfa will shine a spotlight on two recent award-winners at PRINTING United Expo, with both the Onset Panthera and the Tauro’s MAX automation system winning 2026 Pinnacle Product Awards; the Panthera won in the RTR/Hybrid/Flatbed New Technology category, and MAX in Non-Output – Automation Equipment.

Matt Loede, Regional Sales Manager, North America at Agfa, said: “Every print business is different, and the ones thriving right now are those that can flex, moving between rigid and roll, short runs and long, or sign work and packaging, without slowing down. That’s exactly what we’re bringing to Las Vegas. These presses aren’t here to show off raw speed, they’re demonstrating how smarter technology adapts to whatever a customer needs to produce next. The best way to understand that is to come and see it in action.”

Also on display is Asanti 8, the latest iteration of Agfa’s workflow hub. Customizable to any scale of digital printing, it shows how automation, color management and intelligent media handling can simplify production, reduce waste and speed up job preparation.

Elsewhere on the stand, an Inspiration Wall and Applications Cube showcase a wide range of print samples, demonstrating the versatility and quality achievable across different applications. Visitors can also discover Agfa’s broader portfolio, including its ink ranges and workflow software.

Agfa representatives will also be available to discuss the SpeedSet Orca, the company’s high-speed single-pass digital press for folding carton. Capable of producing up to 11,000 B1 sheets per hour, this unique system brings industrial productivity to digital carton printing.

SYNAPS synthetic paper will also feature prominently at PRINTING United, with a dedicated area on the Agfa booth and additional representation on the stand of US distributor Nekoosa (C2723).

Agfa encourages visitors to come and view its latest offerings at PRINTING United Expo 2026, held between 23 and 25 September at the Las Vegas Convention Centre. Agfa will be present in the Central Hall at booths C1149 and C1161. Prospective attendees can register for free via this link and the following reference code: 71727.
