“When we started to look at upgrading our old printer we prepared test files and asked a number of companies to provide us with samples. As soon as the results came in from Agfa we were very impressed and decided to take a closer look. We were then invited to Agfa’s HQ and the rest is history,” says Rob Kelly, director at Displayways.

The South London company installed the workflow with an Anapurna M3200 RTR 3.2m wide printer, and can already see the advantages it offers. The company produces display material for museums, landmarks, and fashion brands so high quality is essential.

The Asanti workflow combines file handling, colour management, and RIPping is one PDF-based system, bringer greater flexibility to the print process. It can also be connected to cutting and finishing equipment, and has been described as an ‘affordable production hub for sign and display producers’.

“Although we have been using Asanti for just a few months we can see that it offers many advantages. Colour consistency is very important and Asanti helps us to achieve this across all our printers.

Sergii Palii, operator at Displayways, adds: “Archiving enables the records of past jobs to be quickly retrieved providing detailed information for job matching. We can also see that Asanti offers advantages for tiling and we plan to take this further in the next few months.”
