Agfa makes waves in inkjet printing with the SpeedSet Orca 1060

Agfa encourages FESPA 2025 attendees to discover the offset-like precision of the SpeedSet Orca 1060 water-based inkjet press at this year’s FESPA Global Print Expo. Built to thrive in the most demanding environments, this B1-sized titan merges digital innovation with Agfa’s more sustainable engineering – proving that true power flows naturally.

Dive into high-performance printing

With a killer speed of 11,000 B1 sheets/hour, the SpeedSet Orca 1060 surges ahead, navigating short runs and on-demand production with agility. Its 1060mm x 750mm sheet size and 0.15-2mm substrate range – from folding carton to micro-flute – enables it to tackle diverse almost any media required.

Powerful by nature

The SpeedSet Orca 1060 anchors Agfa’s commitment to more sustainable, high-speed digital packaging. As regulations like the EU’s PPWR drive demand for recyclable solutions, the Orca’s food-safe inks and minimal waste output position you ahead of the swell.

• Offset-like precision: Harness 1200 dpi resolution and an expansive colour gamut for razor-sharp text and vibrant graphics, rivalling traditional offset
  quality.
• Low ink consumption: Digital primer and varnish application slashes ink usage while enhancing colour depth, ensuring every drop makes an impact.
• Seamless automation: Swift 5-minute media changeovers, a ±0.2 mm media registration system, and a 1,500 kg-capacity feeder/stacker keep production
  flowing.

Ride the wave of innovation

The SpeedSet Orca 1060’s 10-bar colour system (CMYK + optional colours, primer, varnish) and integrated inspection cameras ensure flawless results, while Agfa’s Asanti workflow software synchronizes with ERP/MIS systems, automating your journey from design to delivery.

Richard Cotterill, Global Sales Manager Packaging at Agfa said: “This fully digital packaging printing press merges the robustness and print excellence of an offset press with the compelling attributes of inkjet printing. It offers offset-like print quality yet boasts shorter set-up times, reduced material waste and efficient variable data printing. On top of that, with its killer speed of 11,000 B1 sheets per hour, the SpeedSet Orca enables packaging converters to make their current operations more efficient and more cost-effective.”
