Wide format printer manufacturer Agfa Graphics, Mortsel, Belgium, announces that J-C Press, Owatonna, MN, Canada, has expanded its wide-format capabilities with the addition of a UV hybrid :Anapurna M4f printer from Agfa Graphics. The entry-level system is a 62" wide-format printer that provides J-C Press with high-quality POP displays, posters, exhibition panels, stage graphics, ad panels and more.

J-C Press first opened its doors in 1859 and has today become an award winning, G7-certified full-service commercial printer. The company decided to make its first leap into wide-format printing with the :Anapurna M4f because too much time was being spent applying adhesive-backed materials to rigid substrates. The :Anapurna can print directly to the rigid, helping J-C Press efficiently meet its customers' expectations regarding color and durability.

"In a time when it is becoming more and more difficult to differentiate yourself in the marketplace, having a device like the :Anapurna M4f, which allows us to solve problems and offer new solutions to our customers, is critical," says Brady Manthe, business development manager at J-C Press.

The Anapurna M4f features a print resolution of 720 x 1440 dpi and a maximum printing width of 62". It also features a roll-to-roll printing option, making the system even more versatile.
