John Fisher Printing move forward with Agfa Anapurna

Sydney based John Fisher printing have recently installed the latest Anapurna H1650 LED Hybrid printer. 

This long established Business provides quality printed products with high levels of service & flexibility, to support & achieve creative solutions for their clients. John Fisher Printing specialisation is within the POS, Packaging and short term signage sectors.

Managing Director Tony Fisher said – “At John Fisher Printing we provide unique solutions, for visual graphic displays & merchandising, in addition to general commercial printing, assisting small & large businesses, offering exciting solutions to increase ‘Brand Awareness’! With over 60 years of experience in the retail sector we have the capabilities and knowledge to meet the most demanding of applications and time restraints.

When we first started to investigate a new solution our main driver was machine availability, as we needed to fulfil a large order. However, quality, service & backup also was a major influence, indeed so too the cost of spare parts, added to the criteria. After a few weeks of investigation and bearing in mind the need to print in excess of 3000m2 in a short period of time, we decided to move forward with the latest offering from Agfa.

John Fisher Printing have purchased multiple platforms, but this was our first acquisition from Agfa. From the outset, Agfa’s support from on-the job training, through to return training have been important factors. Responsiveness to queries & assistance for relatively new or inexperienced operators have also been helpful. I was also impressed with the Anapurna’s ability to print saleable images in ‘Express mode’ which enabled us to meet our Clients demanding timescales”.

The latest edition to the Agfa family of printers, the Anapurna H1650i LED device is a 6 Colour Hybrid Printing Platform. Speeds up to 63m2 per hour and able to deliver Photorealistic images. Being able to switch swiftly from board to roll and by utilising the latest LED curing technology enables the operator to print Corflute, Composite Panel, Acrylics, Foam PVC, Banner, Paper, SAV and heat sensitive stock.

Tony continues – “Overall, we are equipped to run retail campaigns matching both traditional offset & wide format digital inkjet printed projects. Our technology allow us to offer custom design solutions for short run packaging & point of sale with all in-house facilities. We also provide additional fulfilment facilities, consolidation of promotional materials, packaged for retail distribution in standard or specialty made shippers”. 

Michael Culver, Inkjet Manager Oceania said – “When you are not the incumbent supplier it is always going to be a challenge. Tony and his Team are well rehearsed and understand the market they play in. Agfa look forward to growing this new partnership and will endeavour to expand our product assortment at John Fisher Printing”.
