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).

We are adding new pages and new features every month so it is not always realistic to update old pages from past years. All the old equipment is still available on eBay, so we keep even our old pages. If you wish only the more up to date product reviews, these are in PDFs (not in the web pages, but in PDFs which are linked in the columns at the right of every page).

Please realize that we tend to update a page (or a PDF) primarily when it is clear that our readers ask about this brand or model frequently. With over 45 brands of UV printers and over 200 models in the past ten years, it is not realistic to update pages on obsolete brands or unpopular models. If you prefer to speak with Nicholas Hellmuth in person about a printer, you can bring him to your company anywhere in the world as consultant.

By later in 2011 each of our web sites will be in 36 different languages with instant translation (and better than old fashioned web page translators of several years ago). So far all the languages are available on www.FLAAR.org and www.3d-scanners-3d-software-reviews.org. Next will be our fine art photography, giclee, decor web site.

Any problem with this site please report it to webmaster, or if you note any error, omission, or have a different opinion on a review, please contact the review editor, ReaderService@FLAAR.org, or find out how to meet Nicholas Hellmuth and speak with him personally. © 2001-2011 FLAAR
