Epson is launching A3+ and A2 Enhanced Matte Poster Board sheets for shop front, exhibition graphics and point of purchase (POP) displays.
Sherpaproof is available through Agfa's distribution channel, which is said to be the largest of any pre-press vendor.
Sherpaproof has already achieved official certification with Fogra, SWOP and 3DAP and it can be integrated in any digital pre-press workflow, said Epson.
Agfa Graphics vice president of marketing, Richard Barham, said: "Whilst we continue to develop and manufacture our own UV curable and other inks for the industrial printing market, we prefer Epson technology to complete our portfolio with certified printers and inks to offer a system that meets the requirements of the graphic arts industry for hard copy proofing." Duncan Ferguson, director of pro-graphics marketing at Epson Europe, added: "The co-operation is beneficial for both companies and for our customers.
With Sherpaproof systems, printing companies gain the benefit of combined expertise from two technology leaders." Sherpaproof is integrated in Agfa's ApogeeX pre-press production software.
It uses Agfa's Sherpaproof base on Agfa certified Epson Stylus Pro colour printers with Epson Ultrachrome K3 inks for hard copy proofing.
