Hydra Modular
Hydra makes single-piece printing possible, achieve zero inventory, agile production and point-to-point logistics
Hydra Modular makes single-piece printing possible. Flexible smart production system can be created to achieve zero inventory, agile production and point-to-point logistics as a brand-new production mode for the internet of things (IoT).
The technology behind the :Hydra Modular is designed to strengthen effectiveness while simplifying operation. High speed at full color, easy handling of variable data, substrate and workflow flexibility with an easy transition—it all adds up to probably the most cost-effective printer you can buy.
Key benefits
- The Single Pass Printing Engine，feeding width up to 760mm.
- Hydra Modular adopts wide-gamut UV inks with bright colors supported by Agfa’s color management system to precisely represent Pantone spot colors.
- Unique multi-curing technology, precise ink droplet adhesion and superior color reproduction.
- Agfa’s IPDS solution integrates seamlessly with the industry standard workflows.
- The result is real-time “ripping speed” regardless of project complexity and color density.
Features
SPICE Printing Engine
The Single Pass Color Engine is another reason the : Hydra Modular can deliver full color printing at high speed.It is configured with a static array of inkjet printheads that span the entire printing width with a maximum media width of 76cm. Each printhead in the printhead array is controlled by a dedicated circuit board.Mass data is integrated into the central data processing unit. The system is efficient and stable with superior extensibility.
Unique Multi-curing Technology
Hydra Modular adopts wide-gamut UV inks with bright colors supported by Agfa’s color management system to precisely represent Pantone spot colors. Our unique multi-curing technology is the key to precise ink droplet adhesion and superior color reproduction.
Seamless Integration
Agfa’s IPDS solution integrates seamlessly with the industry standard workflows. Supported by Agfa Asanti workflow, it can be seamlessly integrated with smart manufacturing system to ensure transparency and visibility from manufacturing terminal to client terminal.
Real-time Page Processing
The :Hydra Modular’s IPDS (intelligent Print Data Stream) controller eliminates bottlenecks, scalable data-processing technology that provides unlimited processing power. The result is real-time “ripping speed” regardless of project complexity and color density.
