“Siyalandela umthengi onikezela ngomsebenzi wakhe weleyibhile yedijithali omfutshane size simncede ukuba awuzise ekhaya,” wongeze watsho uMallozzi. “Iprinta kuzo zonke iintlobo zezinto, kwaye ngoku sijolise kwimarike yabaguquli.”

I-Konica Minolta ibonise i-AccurioJet 3DW400 yayo eLabelexpo, yaza yathi impendulo yayo intle kakhulu.

“I-AccurioJet 3DW400 yeyokuqala yohlobo lwayo eyenza yonke into ngexesha elinye, kuquka i-varnish kunye ne-foil,” utshilo uMallozzi. “Yamkelwe kakuhle kakhulu kwimarike; kuyo yonke indawo oya kuyo kufuneka wenze i-multi-pass kwaye oku kuyayisusa loo nto, kuphucule imveliso kwaye kususe iimpazamo. Sinqwenela ukwakha itekhnoloji ebonelela ngokuzenzekelayo kunye nokulungiswa kweempazamo kwaye ikwenze kube ngathi kukusebenzisa i-copier, kwaye ndichukumisekile kakhulu koko sinako.”

“Umboniso ubumhle – sonwabile kakhulu ukuba sithathe inxaxheba,” utshilo uMallozzi. “Kuninzi esikwenzayo ukuze sifumane abathengi apha kwaye iqela lethu lenze umsebenzi omhle ngaloo nto.”

UDeborah Hutchinson, umlawuli wophuhliso nokusasazwa kweshishini, i-inkjet, eMntla Melika we-Agfa, ukhankanye ukuba i-automation ngokuqinisekileyo ifumene ingqalelo enkulu, njengoko iyindawo enomdla kakhulu ngoku.

“Abantu bazama ukunciphisa iindleko zokusebenza kunye nabasebenzi,” wongezelela uHutchinson. “Kususa umsebenzi wokugquma kwaye kwenza abasebenzi benze eminye imisebenzi enomdla nevuzayo.”

Umzekelo, i-Agfa ineerobhothi kwiTauro yayo kunye neGrizzly, kwaye yazisa ne-auto loader kwiGrizzly, ethatha amaphepha, iwabhalise, iprinte kwaye ibeke amaphepha aprintiweyo.

UHutchinson uqaphele ukuba iTauro itshintshele kwimilo yemibala esi-7, itshintshela kwimibala ye-pastel engashukumiyo, ene-cyan ekhanyayo kunye ne-magenta ekhanyayo, ukuze ihlangabezane neemfuno zabathengi.

“Sijonge ukuguquguquka kunye nokuguquguquka kwiindaba – abaguquli bafuna ukukwazi ukusuka kwi-roll ukuya kwi-rigid xa kufika umsebenzi oshushu,” utshilo uHutchinson. “I-flexo roll yakhelwe kwiTauro kwaye uhambisa nje itafile kwiishiti. Oku kuphucula i-ROI yabathengi kunye nesantya sokuthengisa ngemisebenzi yabo yokuprinta. Sizama ukunceda abathengi bethu banciphise iindleko zabo zokuprinta.”

Phakathi kwezinye izinto ezaziwayo, i-Agfa yazisa iCondor kwimarike yaseMntla Melika. I-Condor inomqengqeleko weemitha ezi-5 kodwa ingaqhutywa kabini okanye kathathu. I-Jeti Bronco intsha kraca, inikezela ngendlela yokukhula kubathengi phakathi kwendawo yokungena kunye nendawo enomthamo omkhulu, njengeTauro.

“Umboniso ube mhle kakhulu,” utshilo uHutchinson. “Lusuku lwesithathu kwaye sisenabantu apha. Abathengisi bethu bathi ukuba abathengi babo babona oomatshini beprinta besebenza kutshintsha umjikelo wentengiso. UGrizzly uphumelele iPinnacle Award for Material Handling, kwaye i-inki iphumelele nePinnacle Award. I-inki yethu inomgquba wepigment omhle kakhulu kunye nomthwalo ophezulu wepigment, ngoko ke ine-inki ephantsi kwaye ayisebenzisi i-inki eninzi.”
