Sandy Alexander, one of the nation's largest privately-owned graphic communications companies, has become the first in the United States to purchase Agfa Graphics' Jeti Tauro H3300 LED printing system. The Jeti Tauro H3300 LED is making its North America debut in Agfa Graphics' booths (#1460 and #1561) at the 2018 SGIA Expo in Las Vegas.
Sandy Alexander has evolved into a multi-platform, multi-channel marketing communications company since opening its doors 55 years ago. Headquartered in Clifton, NJ less than ten miles from Manhattan, NY, Sandy supplies a range of graphic communication solutions; data-driven marketing campaigns, computer graphic (CG) studio services, digital printing, direct mail and retail visual merchandising, to name a few.
The company is ever-evolving and has an eye towards expanding its depth of services. As such, Sandy wanted to upgrade the quality of their Orlando, FL, wide-format digital printing operation with the "right" solution. The combination of high-speed and extreme printing quality of the Jeti Tauro H3300 LED caught their attention. Sandy could double their output without sacrificing print quality levels on master rolls using the dual roll mode on the Jeti Tauro H3300. What's more, the 3.2m/10 foot wide flatbed increases board production immensely.
"During the buying process, we learned about Agfa and saw their operations up close. It struck us that both of our organizations have a similar vision: innovation, technology, service excellence and protecting the environment," said Mike Graff, CEO, Sandy Alexander. "Agfa's dedication to applying ink to a substrate, investments in R&D and ink manufacturing helped us see the underlying economics of the Jeti Tauro H3300 and how it delivers the lowest total cost of ownership."
The Jeti Tauro H3300 LED offers four levels of automation. Sandy Alexander opted for a roll-to-roll configuration capable of handling heavy master single- or dual-rolls for double the productivity. Their system also has a stacker for semi-automation which unloads up to four boards at a time.
With its newfound capabilities of the Jeti Tauro H3300 LED, Sandy Alexander is well positioned to continue offering its broad customer base the high levels of quality and service they have come to expect.
