Attendees will see first hand the quality and speed performance that the company's UV inkjet systems can achieve.

The booth will also feature the company's inkjet-created application zone known as "The House of Asanti." Named for Agfa Graphics' sign and display PDF workflow Asanti, "The House of Asanti" features six rooms across two floors of both artistic and practical inkjet output, including fine art, musical instruments, light fixtures, furniture, doors and more.
