Agfa replaces unfinished :Anapurna 100 with :Anapurna X and :Anapurna XL
At IPEX 2006 and simultaneously at ISA 2006, Agfa launched their :Anapurna X and Anapurna XL to replace the :Anapurna 100.
The :Anapurna 100 was the same body as the Mutoh Cobra (to be manufactured by Mutoh Europe in Belgium ). So Mutoh now has no UV printer of their own. Instead Mutoh has launched the Mutoh Cobra S65uv and Mutoh Cobra S100uv.
Reportedly the :Anapurna X and :Anapurna XL are manufactured by an Asian company that is not Mutoh. The FLAAR Reports will cover this as information is available. The OEM model is one we already know from earlier trade shows.
Today comparative price, ROI, cost, performance, and tech support are all factors. Speed, resolution are being improved with every new season. The competition today would be the Durst Rho 600 Pictor, the ColorSpan 9840, the Vutek 200/600, and perhaps the DuPont CromaPrint 22UV.
The Oce Arizona 250 GT UV is too new but may become competitive if it has special features and a price comparison makes it worth considering.
Comprehensive new FLAAR Report on the :Anapurna L and XL
Available next week will be an expanded update of our coverage of the Agfa :Anapurna L and XL, which naturally also covers the Mutoh Cobra S65uv and S100uv (since they are all the same machine, in two sizes).

Most of our updates for 2008-2009 onward are in FLAAR Reports in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. It is more efficient for us to make new information available in PDF format. So if the web page itself is not updated, check out www.wide-format-printers.NET to see if the printer, RIP, or other subject is covered in an update in a PDF download. And if you prefer to speak with Nicholas Hellmuth in person, you can bring him to your company anywhere in the world as a consultant.
