The 2016 SGIA Expo (Las Vegas, September 14–16) will bring
together the widest array of qualified and educated attendees
to experience the most innovative technology in the imaging
industry.
This year’s Platinum and Gold sponsors are showcasing
the latest applications and advancements to hit the market-
place, and they’re giving SGIA a sneak peek at what they’re
bringing to the trade show floor. For the most up-to-date
product news and Expo specials, visit SGIA.org/EXPO.
Platinum SponsorsAgfa Graphics Booth #1551, 1561Agfa Graphics will be demonstrating new automation and
feature enhancements for the Jeti Tauro and Jeti Mira UV
inkjet printing systems in booths #1551 and 1561 at the 2016
SGIA Expo.
The Award-Winning Jeti Mira w/ RTRDesigned for heavy industrial workloads while offering greater
versatility and waste reduction, the Jeti Mira features moving
gantry architecture that delivers pinpoint precision with print-
ing speeds up to 2440ft²/hr. The roll-to-roll system is upgrade-
able and fits perfectly with the movable gantry. It attaches to
the front of the flat bed table, reducing the distance the media
needs to travel. The RTR can be detached and kept out of the
way when performing rigid jobs.
Quick, accurate, flexible and ruggedized, the Jeti Mira fea-
tures six colors plus white (CMYKLcLm + w) and offers option-
al varnish and primer. The “Print and prepare” mode reduces
downtime and increases productivity by allowing operators
to load one side of the table while the other is printing. Its six
vacuum zones enable fast, accurate double-sided printing.
The Award-Winning Jeti Tauro now with ¾ AutomationAgfa Graphics will also showcase the new Jeti Tauro with
multiple automation options.
The Jeti Tauro is a hybrid printer designed for the quality
and productivity demands of high-end sign and display print-
ers. It features continuous and automated feeding of rigid
media as well as an integrated roll-to-roll system for flexible
media. The 98-inch (2.5 m) Jeti Tauro features six colors plus
white and/or primer option and is designed for printing 24/7
on both rigid and flexible material with speeds up to 2960 ft²/
hour. It’s multi-layer printing offers pre-white, post-white and
a sandwich white (color/white/color).
The Jeti Tauro comes standard with manual media loading
tables for smaller runs. For longer runs or runs with multiple
stacks of boards, the automatic feeding and unloading system
further enhances productivity. The new unloader includes a
capstan roll to drive prints to the pick & place stage where
suction cups pick up the media and transfers it directly to a
shipping pallet. A scissor stacker brings a pallet up for smooth
media unloading.
Durst Image Technology US LLC Booth #401Durst Image Technology US, the global leader in inkjet innova-
tion will be showcasing the “best-in-class” printing systems
designed for high productivity, flexibility & efficiency – built for

capable of producing up to 6,600 sq.ft./hr at 1000 dpi print
resolution. The Rho 1312, with its wide range of media and
high degree of automation matches offset quality, all the
while offering the flexibility of digital inkjet printing. The
Gradual Flow Print Technology on the Rho 1312 enables high
gloss output with smoother tones over large areas even at the
highest print speed.
The Rho 312R is the fastest UV roll printer on the mar-
ket. The Rho 312R handles a wide variety of applications

signage, home furnishing and hospitality fabrics. Designed
to print onto the thinnest of transfer paper, it includes a
high gap printhead that is unaffected by cockling that is a
common occurrence when using thin media, while main-
taining extremely high quality output. With 12 print heads,
the TS500P-3200 printer can achieve high print speeds of
up to 1937 square feet per hour in four-color mode. It uses
Mimaki original Sb310 dye sublimation inks available in Blue,
Magenta, Yellow, Black, Light Blue and Light Magenta. High-
capacity reservoirs hold up to three liters of ink for long runs.
The Auto Media Feeder applies calibrated tension to the
media, maintaining stable and precise media feed and take-
up on rolls up to 286 lbs. This also reduces telescoping of the
media during take-up and eliminates the potential for buck-
ling or creasing during the calendar transfer process thereby
accommodating long run, full roll transfers. Four independent
post-print heaters reduce cockling for smoother transport to
the take-up reel. The TS500P-3200 printer can be connected to
a network via Ethernet or USB 2.0 connection, for flexibility in
setting up the workflow.
