Dorset retail print specialist Mauveworx finalises its shift to 100% digital production with a double Agfa Jeti Tauro hybrid printer investment.
Mauveworx has announced a major investment in two Agfa Jeti Tauro hybrid digital presses. The acquisition includes a Jeti Tauro H3300 HS and a Jeti Tauro H3300 XUHS, the latter marking the first installation of this specific ultra-high-speed model within the United Kingdom. Scheduled for delivery between August and September 2026, the new hardware will be housed inside the company’s 105,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Ferndown, Dorset.
This dual machinery purchase represents a significant turning point for Mauveworx, completing its long-term strategy to become a completely digital production environment. By completely exiting traditional lithographic and screen-printing processes, the firm has re-aligned its operational infrastructure to address the modern retail sector’s demands for shorter print runs, faster turnaround times, and increased supply chain flexibility.
James Martin, Managing Director of Mauveworx, said, “We’re seeing a fundamental shift in what customers need from print production. Today’s retail and brand campaigns demand flexibility, speed and shorter run lengths, and digital production is the most effective way to deliver that. These two Tauro presses give us the capacity, productivity and versatility we need to support our ten-year growth plan while continuing to provide the service levels our customers expect.”
The hybrid functionality of the 3.2-metre-wide platforms allows Mauveworx to expand its in-house manufacturing across both rigid and roll-fed media. The systems will be used to produce large-format retail displays, posters, banners, and tension fabric graphics. White ink capability completely eliminates the company’s reliance on secondary screen-printing processes for opaque backing applications, significantly reducing multi-step workflow risks and job setup times.
The transition to Agfa’s UV LED curing technology reduces overall energy consumption and material waste compared to conventional analogue processes. When combined with the renewable energy generated on-site at the Dorset facility, the investment directly supports the strict environmental audits regularly conducted by the company’s tier-one retail clients.
