Agfa Brings High-End Know-How to the New Jeti Tauro H3300 HS — Is Printing Enough?

You just bought a top-level printer. The prints look brilliant. But the sheets pile up with no fast way to become boxes.

The Jeti Tauro H3300 HS prints vivid graphics on rigid board. After printing, you still need a machine to cut, glue, and wrap that board into rigid boxes and hard covers. That is where Kylin's post-press machines take over.

I have worked with packaging machines for over twenty years. My name is Jacob. I run Kylin Machine in Dongguan, China. I have seen many print shops buy a great printer. Then they hit a wall at the finishing step. This article explains that step. It will help you plan a full line, not half a line.

Why Does the Jeti Tauro H3300 HS Matter to Rigid Box Makers?

Printing on rigid board is now the easy part. The hard part is turning that board into a box that fits and folds.

The Jeti Tauro H3300 HS prints fast on thick, rigid materials like corrugated board. Rigid box makers use it for short runs and custom covers. But print speed means nothing if the finishing line is slow.

Print Speed Versus Finish Speed

The Jeti Tauro H3300 HS is a high-end UV inkjet printer. It prints on rigid and flexible media. It handles the boards used in displays and packaging. A printer like this can produce many sheets per hour. That is the trap. Printing is fast. Finishing is often slow.

When I visit a packaging plant, I look at two numbers. First, I check print output per hour. Second, I check how many finished boxes leave the line per hour. Most plants have a big gap here. The printer outruns the finishing step. The gap becomes a pile of half-done work.

A rigid box needs several steps after printing. The board must be cut. The paper must be glued to the board. The edges must be wrapped. A good post-press machine does these steps in one pass.

Step	Printed by Jeti Tauro	Finished by Kylin Machine
Graphics on board	Yes	No
Cut and crease board	No	Yes
Glue paper to board	No	Yes
Wrap and fold box	No	Yes

This is why I tell printers to plan both sides. A fast printer needs a fast finishing line. If you miss this, you lose the speed you paid for.

What Machine Finishes the Rigid Board You Just Printed?

You printed beautiful boards. Now they sit on a shelf. Your customer waits for a box, not a sheet.

For printed rigid board, our Auto Rigid Box Machine does the finishing. It turns flat board into finished rigid boxes. It cuts, glues, and wraps in one smooth line.

The Auto Rigid Box Machine

I run a factory of about 5,000 square meters in Dongguan. We build this machine for box makers around the world. Our Auto Rigid Box Machine handles the steps after printing. It glues printed paper to grey board. It wraps the edges. It folds the box into shape.

The machine works with many box sizes. It suits the food, cosmetics, and electronics industries. These businesses buy printed packaging every day. They need boxes that look sharp and close well. This machine gives them that.

Choosing the Right Machine

Not every box is the same. Some are round. Some are collapsible. Some are hard book covers. So the right machine depends on the box.

Box Type	Recommended Kylin Machine
Standard rigid box	Auto Rigid Box Machine
Polygon or special box	Semi Auto Polygon Rigid Box Wrapper
Hard book cover	Ky-380 Hard Cover Making Machine

I tell customers to start with the box type. Then we match the machine. This saves money. You do not buy a machine that is too big or too small.

How Do You Turn Printed Sheets Into Finished Hard Covers?

A book publisher wants hard covers. You have printed the cover paper. But a sheet is not a book.

Our Ky-380 Hard Cover Making Machine turns printed paper and board into finished case covers. It is an all-in-one case maker for books, folders, and tablet cases.

The Ky-380 All-in-One Case Maker

I remember my first hard cover order. A customer sent printed cover paper and asked for one thousand cases. We made them by hand at first. It was slow. Then we ran them on the Ky-380. The job finished in a fraction of the time. The corners were clean. The covers were flat.

This machine takes the printed sheet. It joins the paper to the board. It folds the edges. It builds the case in one flow. It works for hard books, ring binders, and tablet cases.

Where Quality Control Fits

After finishing, you must check the work. A bad box or cover can cost you a customer. So we add a check step.

Need	Kylin Machine
Glue and assemble parts	Glue Spraying Assembly Machine
Add gold or foil marks	Pneumatic Hot Stamping Machine
Detect mixed or wrong boxes	CCD Visual Anti-Mixing Detection Equipment

These steps keep your finished product clean and correct. They turn good printing into good packaging.

Conclusion

A fast printer is only half the line. Match it with the right post-press machine, and your printed board becomes a finished, sellable box.
