Avinci CX3200
Dye sublimation roll-to-roll printer that prints on a wide range of polyester-based media
Agfa’s dedicated dye sublimation roll-to-roll printer will enable you to create vibrant high-quality prints on polyester-based fabrics up to 3.2 m wide, including a broad range of in- and outdoor soft signage applications, as well as interior decoration. The Avinci CX3200 is a highly reliable and convenient soft signage printer that is able to print directly to fabrics, as well as onto transfer paper. It uses an off-line calender unit to ensure perfect fixation.

Direct & transfer printing – for the widest application scope
Avinci can print a wide variety of polyester-based soft signage applications such as backlit point-of-sales displays, indoor wall graphics, outdoor advertising, block-outs, backdrops, flags, or retail store décor elements. In addition, it can also be used to print polyester-based sportswear or fashion garments. You name it, Avinci is up to the challenge.
- Being able to print directly to fabric is easy and ideal for fast handling and for special applications such as flags, where print-though is needed.
- Transfer paper allows for super sharp prints, eliminates any set-off, and limits media waste to a minimum. In addition, it extends the application scope to sportswear and fashion garments, as well as home décor prints on non-coated polyester fabrics.
Vivid colors, high performance
The Avinci CX3200 boasts a rich color gamut and delivers deep black, perfect solids, accurate spot color mapping and smooth tonal rendering that is particularly noticeable in skin tones. Through the process of dye sublimation, your soft signage prints will look simply amazing.
The Avinci inks are characterized by their flexibility, image longevity and outdoor resistance. They offer stable jetting performance and deliver the same high-quality results, batch after batch.
An off-line calender unit fixes the color deeply into the structure of the polyester-based fabrics while evaporating the carrier fluid.
Low ink consumption saves money
Avinci produces excellent results with a minimum of jetted ink. This low ink consumption is based on Agfa’s renowned Thin Ink Layer technology: a smart combination of particular ink characteristics and our Asanti workflow software algorithms that tune the ink quantities perfectly to the required image quality mode.
Reliable and convenient – for maximum uptime and peace of mind
Smooth and accurate media handling
The Avinci’s dedicated soft signage transport system ensures precise and flawless unwinding, feeding and winding of media, even at the highest production speed. When printing on transfer paper, the vacuum plates make sure that the media are kept perfectly flat on the table and will not wrinkle. The powerful drying system limits drying time and reduces set-off.
Fast and easy changeover
You will not find a textile printer that is as easy to use as the Avinci. Thanks to the convenient pinch rollers and foot pedal, loading a new roll can be done in less than seven minutes by a single operator!
Robust design & low maintenance
The Avinci CX3200 has a robust design, using only high-quality parts that are built to last. This means you can expect few service interventions and a minimum of consumables consumption. Maintenance is minimal and easy too.
