Eversify from Agfa Graphics
Swiss Review – all-out instant multichannel publishing
Mortsel, Belgium – April 13, 2017
All-out solutionThe publication is published with the WoodWing editorial content system, but turned to Eversify because of its threefold offering in multichannel distribution. The Classic solution allows a local consultant to create a regional version in PDF format. The Hybrid option enables the generation of a PDF enriched with HTML5 articles for consultation on iPad and Android tablets. The interactive version generates a responsive HTML5 solution for both iPhone and Android phones.
“The beauty of Eversify is the high level of automation it offers. It builds editions for all devices and operating systems in one go. Obviously, a final approval round is built in to be sure, but the time spent is negligible in comparison to the few minutes it takes to approve each edition. We were amazed at how much time this saves us and how accessible (and correct!) the content is to the reader.” Comments Mr. Olivier Honauer, IT-Prepress at Swiss Review.
Smooth operator
The automation is the key factor to the success of Eversify. When the content is ready in WoodWing, the final edition is exported. A PDF and XML file are generated and all images are re-sampled and exported automatically. The file is then compressed into a Zip-file and uploaded to an ftp-server. Eversify builds each edition in a few minutes according to predefined rules depending on the type of content and distribution device. After the final approval round, each edition is ready for distribution to its corresponding channel. The whole process is completely automated, and reproduces the content 100% accurately.
Implementing the three Eversify solutions kicked off in 2014. The first multichannel editions were launched in January 2015. The process has since then continued to run ever so smoothly.
“It’s not what you save, it’s what you gain”
Cost savings are high on everyone’s agenda, especially if they’re looking into automation. But that was not the main drive at Swiss Review. “We wanted to give the Swiss people abroad a better service. No matter where they are in the world, they can access the latest and most accurate news from their homeland on whichever device. Obviously, the success of the mobile app lowers the distribution cost. But we still print a magazine and provide a digital edition as well. That’s why it’s multichannel – we do it all.” as Mr. Marko Lehtinen, Editor-in-Chief, concludes.
Swiss Review is produced by Vogt-Schild Druck AG for the Swiss state using WoodWing editorial system, InDesign® and Agfa Eversify.

Swiss Review – all-out instant multichannel publishing
Mortsel, Belgium – April 13, 2017
‘Swiss Review’ is a dedicated magazine issued by the Swiss state for Swiss living abroad. It’s been published for over 42 years in no less than 14 regional editions in German, French, Italian, English and Spanish. In 2014 its management decided, that the content should also be available across different channels and platforms. Not a straightforward task – as a governmental steered publication, all content must be replicated verbatim. A mere webpage did not suffice, they wanted their readers to be able to access the content when they want it, where they want it. An app appealed more, because of its user-friendliness, enabling readers to tailor settings and push notifications to their preferences. Not to mention being easily accessible on all devices. The publication had worked with a PDF version before, which worked perfectly well on tablets, but had its limitations on smartphones.
All-out solution
The publication is published with the WoodWing editorial content system, but turned to Eversify because of its threefold offering in multichannel distribution. The Classic solution allows a local consultant to create a regional version in PDF format. The Hybrid option enables the generation of a PDF enriched with HTML5 articles for consultation on iPad and Android tablets.

The Jeti Tauro H2500 LED is the flagship in Agfa Graphics’ wide-format UV-inkjet printer portfolio. This 2.5m wide hybrid UV inkjet printer with an integrated roll-to-roll system features continuous and automated feeding of a wide range of flexible and rigid media, including several types of corrugated board. As of FESPA, the Jeti Tauro will rely on LED-curing technology as an alternative for the high energy-consuming mercury bulb lamps.
“Equipped with UV LED lamps for the curing process, the Jeti Tauro LED comes with a number of economical and ecological benefits,” explains Reinhilde Alaert, Product Manager, Agfa Graphics. “LEDs have minimal heat output, for example, which allows for printing on thin heat sensitive media such as styrene sheets and rolls. They also ensure very stable bi-directional calibration and higher system up times (no warming up or cooling down time) on top of the significant power savings. All of that has a positive effect on the ROI of the system.”
At FESPA, Agfa Graphics also presents a selection of its other UV inkjet printers with LED curing:
The new Jeti Ceres RTR3200 LED is a true workhorse, combining high productivity with stunning image quality on a wide variety of roll-to-roll media. The optional white printing capability yields a new level of image vivacity, while the rapid dual-sided printing amplifies the impact of backlit or block-out print applications. Jeti Ceres has all features on board for high-end roll-to-roll printing such as skip white, media free fall, and end-of-roll warning.
The true flatbed six color + white Jeti Mira 2732 HS LED is Agfa Graphics’ highly versatile moving gantry solution. At Fespa it is equipped with the optional dockable roll-to-roll option. Its ‘Print & Prepare’ function allows the operator to load a new job while the previous one is still being printed to raise productivity. Jeti Mira also features optional varnish ink to create glossy effects and 3D lenses for amazing optical illusions.
The hybrid Anapurna H3200i LED represents the complete range of Agfa Graphics’ Anapurna printers with LED curing technology for indoor and outdoor applications up to 3.2m printing width on the widest range of substrates (standard 6 colors + white). The hybrid Anapurna i engines up to 2.5m printing width are prepped for integration with an ABF (automatic board feeding) system for enhanced productivity and convenient multi-board feeding.
Integrated production hub with Asanti
Agfa Graphics’ automated Asanti workflow software will be driving all engines. It optimizes and automates the preparation, production and finishing steps of signage products. The core includes automation, color management, pre-flighting, and job templates. Asanti 3.0 allows for integration with third-party print equipment, so that customers can streamline their complete operation in one production hub.
The Asanti workflow was recently upgraded with integrated tiling so that oversized banners or billboards that extend beyond the maximum printing width can be produced with automatically generated mounting instructions .
Thanks to the integration of Asanti with Agfa Graphics’ PrintSphere, the entire workflow benefits from a simple solution for swift data sharing, while the newest version of StoreFront enables printing companies to automate and manage their web-to-print activities and web shops.
European debut for Avinci
Agfa Graphics’ new soft signage printer Avinci DX3200 will also be demoed at FESPA. Avinci is a robust dye-sublimation printer, which produces high-quality, vivid prints for countless in- and outdoor applications.
Reinhilde Alaert: “Avinci DX3200 features 6 colors (CMYKLcLm) and impresses with its speed and print quality. Avinci has an enormous color gamut. Next to its state-of-the-art imaging performance, it draws attention with its excellent tonal rendering and fine detail reproduction.”
Spot on: Agfa’s LED UV-curable inks
Agfa Graphics’ specially-formulated UV LED inks can print on a wide variety of rigid and flexible substrates guaranteeing outstanding print quality and perfect physical characteristics such as adhesion. These include heat-sensitive substrates such as thin slides, self-adhesive sheets and stretchable PVC materials. Agfa UV inks boast a wide color gamut and high color vibrancy. The well-known Thin Ink Layer technology from Agfa Graphics guarantees the lowest ink consumption with the highest color quality thanks to the high pigment load of the inks and Asanti’s dynamic ink splitting and color management optimization.
“All of Agfa’s UV-curable inks – white and color – offer stable jetting performance and deliver the same high-quality results, batch after batch,” Alaert continues. “The new Jeti Tauro LED is also designed for use with these first-rate inks, which offer high image longevity, excellent outdoor resistance and supreme adhesion, even on challenging substrates.”

Written by Rob Fletcher 2nd May 2017.
Bright, creative and imaginative print can help bring the inside of a building to life, but in order to do so, quality has to be at its best.
Whether it is curtains, cushions covers, wallpaper or floor graphics, the interior print market is certainly a diverse one. And while this might be good news for companies on the look out for new types of work, it also means that those same print service providers (PSPs) face challenges when it comes to selecting the type of materials and consumables they use during production.
Part one of this double-header feature focused on the technology that will be shown at FESPA 2017.
However, as industry members will know, printing is much more than just ink on paper (or other materials as it may be in the case of interior work) and FESPA 2017 will serve as a hub of information for visitors on the hunt for ways to improve the quality output and their overall business.
Attendees at FESPA 2017 next month will have access to an informative series of seminars that will see specialists from across the industry addressing a host of issues. For visitors involved in interior printing, a panel session at 15:00 on May 11 may well be of interest.
Headed up by Sonja Angerer, editor of Rrrabbitproductions, the panel will focus on the printed interiors market and cover key discussion points such as how the inter decoration sector may develop over the next few years, the importance of design, as well as the influence technology and certifications will have on this area of the industry.
In addition, for those focused on interior print within the retail market, then Vicky Barrett, design and merchandising manager at Clarins Fragrance Group, will be offering guidance during her session at 14:00 on May 11.
Entitled ‘There’s no excuse for inaccurate colour in retail applications’, the seminar will focus on how PSPs can assure quality output when producing interior retail work.
However, what looks set to draw the most interest from visitors with interior print in mind is the aptly named Printeriors. The event will be co-located with the main FESPA 2017 show, as well as the European Sign Expo, and purely focus on the opportunities in the interior print market and how PSPs can go about making a success of themselves in this creative sector.
Visitors to this area of the show can not only expect to find out about some of the latest technology in the interior print market, but also speak with experts from a number of companies involved in this area.
In addition, attendees that drop in on Printeriors will have the opportunity to view some of the applications in this market, as well as find out more about what type of work is proving popular at present and the types of consumables and materials required to produce such applications.
For those interested in attending Printeriors, there is still time to register for this special event. You can visit www.printeriors.net and put in special code PRNH710 to claim free entry to Printeriors.

De Jeti Tauro H2500 LED is het vlaggenschip onder de UV-groot formaat inkjetprinters van Agfa Graphics. Deze 2,5 meter brede hybride UV-inkjetprinter met geïntegreerd roll-to-roll-systeem is geschikt voor de doorlopende en automatische invoer van uiteenlopende soepele en harde media, zoals verschillende soorten golfkarton. Vanaf FESPA zal de Jeti Tauro led-curingtechnologie toepassen als alternatief voor de energieverslindende kwiklampen.
“De Jeti Tauro LED is uitgerust met UV-ledlampen voor het curingproces. Dat biedt tal van economische en ecologische voordelen”, aldus Reinhilde Alaert, Product Manager bij Agfa Graphics. “Leds geven bijvoorbeeld heel weinig warmte af, waardoor het mogelijk is om dunne, warmtegevoelige media zoals styreenvellen en -rollen te bedrukken. Naast de aanzienlijke energiebesparing bieden ze ook uiterst stabiele tweerichtingsijking en meer productieve tijd. Ze moeten namelijk niet opwarmen of afkoelen. Dat alles heeft een positieve invloed op de ROI van het systeem.”
Op FESPA stelt Agfa Graphics tevens een reeks andere UV-inkjetprinters met led-curing voor:
- De nieuwe Jeti Ceres RTR3200 LED is een echt werkpaard. Hij combineert hoge productiviteit met een verbluffende beeldkwaliteit op de meest uiteenlopende roll-to-roll-media. De optionele witte-inktfuncties maken de beelden extra levendig, terwijl de snelle tweezijdige drukmogelijkheden de impact van backlit- of block-out-druktoepassingen versterken. De Jeti Ceres heeft alles wat nodig is voor hoogstaande roll-to-roll-drukresultaten, zoals wit overslaan, vrije val van media en waarschuwing bij einde rol.
- De echte flatbedprinter met zes kleuren + wit Jeti Mira 2732 HS LED is de uiterst veelzijdige oplossing met bewegende printunit van Agfa Graphics. Op FESPA is hij uitgerust met de optionele vergrendelbare roll-to-roll-optie. Met de functie ‘Printen & Voorbereiden’ kan de operator een nieuwe job laden terwijl de vorige nog wordt geprint, dit om de productiviteit op te drijven. De Jeti Mira biedt ook de mogelijkheid om vernis te gebruiken voor een glanzend effect en heeft 3D lenzen voor verbazingwekkende optische illusies.
- De hybride Anapurna H3200i LED vertegenwoordigt de volledige serie Anapurna-printers met led-curingtechnologie van Agfa Graphics, voor binnen- en buitentoepassingen met een printbreedte tot 3,2 meter op een uitgebreid assortiment van ondergronden (standaard 6 kleuren + wit). De hybride Anapurna i-machines met een printbreedte tot 2,5 meter zijn geschikt voor integratie met een ABF-systeem (Automatic Board Feeding, automatische plaatlading), om de productiviteit te verbeteren en probleemloos meerdere platen te laden.
Geïntegreerde productie hub met Asanti
De geautomatiseerde Asanti-workflowsoftware van Agfa Graphics zal al de engines aansturen. Die software optimaliseert en automatiseert alle stappen voor de voorbereiding, productie en afwerking van signage producten. De basisfunctionaliteiten zijn automatisering, kleurbeheer, preflight-functies en jobsjablonen. De Asanti 3.0 maakt integratie met printapparatuur van andere merken mogelijk, zodat klanten al hun werk kunnen stroomlijnen in één productie hub.
De Asanti-workflow kreeg er onlangs geïntegreerde tiling optie bij, zodat spandoeken of reclameborden die groter zijn dan de maximale printbreedte, eveneens kunnen worden geproduceerd met automatisch aangemaakte monteerinstructies.
Dankzij de integratie van Asanti met Agfa Graphics’ PrintSphere is het mogelijk om in de volledige workflow op eenvoudige wijze data te delen. Met de nieuwste versie van StoreFront kunnen print bedrijven dan weer hun web-to-print-activiteiten en webshops automatiseren en beheren.
Europees debuut voor Avinci
Op FESPA wordt ook de nieuwe soft signage-printer van Agfa Graphics, de Avinci DX3200, gedemonstreerd. Avinci is een robuuste printer met kleursublimatie, die levendige prints van topkwaliteit produceert voor talloze binnen- en buitentoepassingen.
Reinhilde Alaert: “De Avinci DX3200 drukt in 6 kleuren (CMYKLcLm) en heeft een indrukwekkende snelheid en printkwaliteit. De Avinci heeft een enorm kleurengamma. Afgezien van zijn geavanceerde beeldvormingsprestaties valt de printer ook op door zijn uitstekende kleurnuance en gedetailleerde reproductie.”
Precies: de UV led-curable inkten van Agfa
De speciaal ontwikkelde UV led-inkten van Agfa Graphics zijn geschikt om te drukken op uiteenlopende harde en soepele materialen, met een gegarandeerd uitmuntende printkwaliteit en perfecte fysische kenmerken, zoals hechting. Dat geldt ook voor warmtegevoelige dragers, zoals dunne platen, zelfklevende vellen en rekbare pvc-materialen. De UV-inkten van Agfa bieden een breed kleurengamma en erg levendige kleuren. De alom bekende dunne-inktlaagtechnologie van Agfa Graphics garandeert het laagste inktverbruik met de hoogste kleurenkwaliteit, dankzij de hoge pigmentlading van de inkten, evenals de dynamische inktsplitsing en het geoptimaliseerde kleurbeheer van de Asanti.
“Alle UV-curable inkten van Agfa, d.w.z. wit en kleur, bieden stabiele jetprestaties met dezelfde kwaliteitsvolle resultaten, batch na batch”, voegt Alaert eraan toe. “De nieuwe Jeti Tauro LED is ook bedoeld voor gebruik met deze hoogwaardige inkten, die ervoor zorgen dat de afbeeldingen lang intact blijven, goed bestand zijn tegen weer en wind en uitstekend hechten, zelfs op moeilijke ondergronden.”

De Jeti Tauro H2500 LED is het vlaggenschip onder de UV-groot formaat inkjetprinters van Agfa Graphics. Deze 2,5 meter brede hybride UV-inkjetprinter met geïntegreerd roll-to-roll-systeem is geschikt voor de doorlopende en automatische invoer van uiteenlopende soepele en harde media, zoals verschillende soorten golfkarton. Vanaf FESPA zal de Jeti Tauro led-curingtechnologie toepassen als alternatief voor de energieverslindende kwiklampen.
“De Jeti Tauro LED is uitgerust met UV-ledlampen voor het curingproces. Dat biedt tal van economische en ecologische voordelen”, aldus Reinhilde Alaert, Product Manager bij Agfa Graphics. “Leds geven bijvoorbeeld heel weinig warmte af, waardoor het mogelijk is om dunne, warmtegevoelige media zoals styreenvellen en -rollen te bedrukken. Naast de aanzienlijke energiebesparing bieden ze ook uiterst stabiele tweerichtingsijking en meer productieve tijd. Ze moeten namelijk niet opwarmen of afkoelen. Dat alles heeft een positieve invloed op de ROI van het systeem.”
Op FESPA stelt Agfa Graphics tevens een reeks andere UV-inkjetprinters met led-curing voor:
- De nieuwe Jeti Ceres RTR3200 LED is een echt werkpaard. Hij combineert hoge productiviteit met een verbluffende beeldkwaliteit op de meest uiteenlopende roll-to-roll-media. De optionele witte-inktfuncties maken de beelden extra levendig, terwijl de snelle tweezijdige drukmogelijkheden de impact van backlit- of block-out-druktoepassingen versterken. De Jeti Ceres heeft alles wat nodig is voor hoogstaande roll-to-roll-drukresultaten, zoals wit overslaan, vrije val van media en waarschuwing bij einde rol.
- De echte flatbedprinter met zes kleuren + wit Jeti Mira 2732 HS LED is de uiterst veelzijdige oplossing met bewegende printunit van Agfa Graphics. Op FESPA is hij uitgerust met de optionele vergrendelbare roll-to-roll-optie. Met de functie ‘Printen & Voorbereiden’ kan de operator een nieuwe job laden terwijl de vorige nog wordt geprint, dit om de productiviteit op te drijven. De Jeti Mira biedt ook de mogelijkheid om vernis te gebruiken voor een glanzend effect en heeft 3D lenzen voor verbazingwekkende optische illusies.
- De hybride Anapurna H3200i LED vertegenwoordigt de volledige serie Anapurna-printers met led-curingtechnologie van Agfa Graphics, voor binnen- en buitentoepassingen met een printbreedte tot 3,2 meter op een uitgebreid assortiment van ondergronden (standaard 6 kleuren + wit). De hybride Anapurna i-machines met een printbreedte tot 2,5 meter zijn geschikt voor integratie met een ABF-systeem (Automatic Board Feeding, automatische plaatlading), om de productiviteit te verbeteren en probleemloos meerdere platen te laden.
Geïntegreerde productie hub met Asanti
De geautomatiseerde Asanti-workflowsoftware van Agfa Graphics zal al de engines aansturen. Die software optimaliseert en automatiseert alle stappen voor de voorbereiding, productie en afwerking van signage producten. De basisfunctionaliteiten zijn automatisering, kleurbeheer, preflight-functies en jobsjablonen. De Asanti 3.0 maakt integratie met printapparatuur van andere merken mogelijk, zodat klanten al hun werk kunnen stroomlijnen in één productie hub.
De Asanti-workflow kreeg er onlangs geïntegreerde tiling optie bij, zodat spandoeken of reclameborden die groter zijn dan de maximale printbreedte, eveneens kunnen worden geproduceerd met automatisch aangemaakte monteerinstructies.
