Workflow for offset packaging printers

Agfa introduces Amfortis, all in one workflow for offset packaging printing. Developed for  packaging converters it combining multiple unique software tools into one  production workflow solution. It complements Agfa’s offering for offset packaging, which already included durable printing plates and high-performing CtP systems. From a single user interface, Amfortis guarantees print quality and consistency while streamlining all typical prepress tasks, such as design optimization, stepping & repeating, ripping and job management.

The software functions as an integrated command center – not only outputting printing plates and creating proofs, yet also driving digital presses or wide-format printers and cutting devices for sampling and short-run production. Amfortis incorporates Agfa’s standardization software PressTune, which guarantees absolute colour consistency,  smoother approvals, faster make-ready, and lower ink and paper consumption.  PressTune provides the  ground for Agfa’s revolutionary screening technology SPIR@L to boost print quality while reducing ink coverage.  It also forms the backbone for Agfa’s ink saving software InkTune, which can be applied on the extended colour gamut separations supported by Amfortis. Through the integration with Agfa’s Arziro, Amfortis also lets printing companies add specific design elements to artwork for enhanced shelf appeal as well as brand protection.
