Asanti ——Dedicated Sign & Display workflow software
The Tauro H3300 engines are driven by Agfa’s award-winning wide-format workflow software Asanti, which controls the entire printing process from prepress to production and finishing. As such, it simplifies, optimizes and automates as many steps as possible, offering you a high-performance solution for increased productivity.
Simplify & automate
Including the latest Adobe PDF Print Engine, Asanti takes care of preflighting and job conversion to guarantee smooth, error-free job handling and consistent print quality. In addition, Asanti streamlines your print operations through automatic job layout and positioning, and automatic true-shape-nesting. The automatic collection of images allows you to gather all artwork for a specific press and specific media, and to optimally nest it on the print sheet or roll, taking copy count and bleed into account.
Asanti guarantees consistent color reproduction through the creation and use of color profiles. To do so, it deploys the patented Calibrated Print Mode (CPM) feature, which uses easy-to-set-up production templates that contain all parameters for a particular substrate and enable automatic job creation. It will only take you 15 minutes to calibrate and profile media, and then you can enjoy hassle-free printing with optimal and consistent quality!
The Asanti Production Dashboard is a browser-based reporting tool that allows you to inspect the status, ink and media consumption, and printing time of jobs.
Asanti can also drive non-Agfa printers and a wide range of cutting tables, and it offers JDF/JMF-based integration with many MIS solutions. To link a non-Agfa RIP/workflow with the Tauro printers, we developed TauroConnect, which captures data from the workflow in place and takes care of screening, output quality, and printing parameters.
