Customers See Green in Eco-Friendly :Grand Sherpa Universal.
　　Customers continue to marvel at the :Grand Sherpa Universal, Agfa's new inkjet printing system based on the successful :Grand Sherpa line of large format printers. Agfa, at last month's SGIA (Screenprinting & Graphic Imaging Association International) show in Atlanta, Georgia (USA), demonstrated the :Grand Sherpa Universal for attendees who came to the Innovative Print Technologies booth. It also garnered wide acclaim when it was shown for the first time in the U.S. at Graph Expo, just a few weeks earlier.

　　The Grand Sherpa Universal uses Eco-Solvent Plus inks, which do not spread volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Unlike less eco-friendly machines, the :Grand Sherpa Universal uses solvent inks but functions just like aqueous systems. It does not require any special equipment for ventilation in the production facility. The :Grand Sherpa Universal makes it possible to print high-quality displays, banners, posters and more onto a majority of available uncoated media, such as vinyl and canvas, for both indoor and outdoor applications. Other system benefits include low maintenance, for added cost-savings, compared to other solvent-based printers of today.
