James Litho, Ontario, Calif., a provider of on-line media management, graphic design, bindery and printing, has become one of the latest printing companies to go for the eight-foot printing system known as the Jeti 1224 HDC (High Definition Color) flatbed from Agfa Graphics, Elmwood Park, N.J.

The printer features the widest color gamut and highest productivity in its class, delivering high definition, sharp, fine text and photographic detail with bright, intense colors. James Litho installed the Jeti 1224 HDC in February of this year, after researching the market thoroughly, in search of a device that would provide opportunities to expand the company's product offerings.

"We knew we didn't want to be pigeonholed into a specific market with a really low price point," says company president Jeff James. "Once we decided that we needed a flatbed solution that prints directly on rigid materials, we looked at the Jeti 1224 HDC with the optional roll to roll capability. It fit all of our criteria. It gives us the option to print on flexible material, a nice bonus for us, and it is flexible enough to print on just about any media."

Engineered with a solid steel platform and designed for three shift operations, the Jeti 1224 HDC FTR features a unique, linear motor-driven vacuum bed for highly accurate dot placement in both flatbed mode or with the optional flat-to-roll (FTR) feature. The Jeti 1224 HDC FTR can support media rolls up to 250 pounds.
