According to Agfa the :M-Press Leopard – which was launched at Fespa Digital – uses a simplified feed system, with manual loading based on the ergonomic concept of Thieme’s 55 vacuum zoned universal print table. This ensures accurate and fast positioning of the substrate onto the bed, with precise registration pins on both the left and the right side of the bed to make single and double-sided printing easy.

Heavy substrates up to 20 kg/m2 can be pushed towards registration pins in the back side of the table. The variable vacuum zones hold the thinnest and most flexible papers or materials completely flat so that they can easily be printed alongside rigid substrates.

A statement from Agfa outlines, “Designed for print service providers who look for best in class quality and speed and who require fast change-over between jobs, the :M-Press Leopard is the best fit.

“The prints are suited for all interior and exterior applications where colour gamut and accurate durability are essential. The machine can work with a broad range of materials in thicknesses of up to 5 cm, and output onto multiple sheets in the same job.”

The new production printer joins the company’s expanding portfolio of wide-format solutions which ranges from the entry-level and mid-range UV-curable :Anapurna series, through the :Jeti family of industrial units to the high-end :M-Press Tiger.
