delivers value and introduces new and disruptive business models to its customers. Advanced automation enables digital single-pass inkjet printing at high speeds (up to 300 m/min or 1,000 ft/min for the BHS Jetliner Xceed and 400 m/min or 1,300 ft/min for the BHS Jetliner Monochrome). This technology reduces the need for additional printing equipment, lowers working capital, and simplifies work- flows, providing greater flexibility and efficiency. The BHS Jetliner Series offers flexible operation mod- els, from Roll-Roll to an entire inline RSR (roll to printed sheet in real time) process. This flexibility allows custom- ers to shape the future of their production, support their transformation from an analog production process to an entirely digital industrial converting process, and explore new ways to design, purchase, manufacture, and deliver boxes at the lowest possible cost. BHS Corrugated will leverage Agfa’s ink and inkjet system development expertise to advance its single-pass inkjet systems. The installation and ramp-up of the BHS Jetliner Monochrome, a first-of-its-kind, is in full swing, and the BHS Jetliner Xceed is expected to land at its destina- tion by the third quarter of this year. “We are excited to work together with Agfa and believe this agreement will significantly bolster our capabilities,” said Helmut Kraus, Business Unit Head of Digital & Logis- tics, BHS Corrugated. “Integrating Agfa’s inkjet technology aligns with our Box Plant strategy and reinforces our po- sition as a leading innovator in the corrugated industry.”
