First UK installation of the new Agfa Anapurna Ciervo engine at Freestyle Designs
F
reestyle Designs in Bath has become the fi rst UK customer of the new Agfa Anapurna Ciervo H3200 print engine. The company’s investment secures it as an Agfa Beta site, receiving additional technical support that will help rigorously test the fl exibility and commercial benefi ts of this powerful new machine. Jayson Godridge of Freestyle Designs
fi rst saw the new Anapurna Ciervo machine under a Non-Disclosure Agreement in late 2023.
He said: “After conducting thorough research and considering various options, we narrowed our choices down to EFI and Agfa. Ultimately, we went with the new Agfa Anapurna Ciervo because it was
faster, used less ink, and we were already familiar with the Agfa system. We were also impressed by the quality, perfect for some of our detailed POS work, which could still be produced at speed.” The new Anapurna Ciervo H3200 is a versatile hybrid wide format inkjet printer. It is designed with a 3.2m print width to handle a wide range of rigid and roll media for indoor and outdoor applications. Its productivity is enhanced through effi cient continuous board feeding and the ability to print on multiple boards, up to four simultaneously.
Freestyle Designs made a total investment of £200k in the latest Agfa engine, and Mr Godridge has confi rmed it has greatly improved their operations.
