Agfa’s Oberon RTR3300 inkjet printer received the European Digital Press Association's 2020 EDP Award for "large & wide format printing system in the category roll-to-roll printer up to 320 cm."
The EDP reviews products introduced to the European market, and grants the EDP Awards to those introductions it deems best in terms of quality, as well as value to the user, support and service.
This year’s award for the Oberon RTR3300 marks the eighth time that Agfa gets recognized by the EDP for one of its large-format printing solutions.
“We are committed to providing complete printing solutions that enable printing companies to grow profitably. The EDP Award bears witness to the added value we provide to our customers," Agfa Product Manager Philip Van der Auwera said.
The Oberon was introduced on the market at the beginning of this year.
It is a dedicated 3.3 m high-end roll-to-roll machine that combines outstanding quality with an extensive media scope and unique ease of use. The Oberon RTR3300 hits 224 m²/h (2411 ft²/h). The dual-roll option is capable of handling two rolls each up to 1.6 meters wide, doubling the total output.
The Oberon RTR3300 covers significant media diversity and a wide range of applications. In addition to its air-cooled LED curing lamps, the Oberon RTR3300 features a water-cooled table that keeps the printing zone at room temperature to smoothly process any kind of heat-sensitive roll material.
The dedicated mesh printing functionality makes printing on mesh (with or without liner) easy.
The UV LED inks on the Oberon RTR3300 were optimized for flexible media and obtained the highest category of GREENGUARD Gold certification.
