Fujifilm Displays its Market-leading Inkjet Technology for Wide-Format Printing at SGIA 2012

Recently introduced to the U.S. market, the Inca Onset S40i meets the high-volume, fast-turnaround production needs of printers. This flatbed UV inkjet printer includes many new intelligent features that increase productivity and reliability: a zoned vacuum bed reduces masking, an innovative UV sensor system automates cleaning of printheads, and a sophisticated substrate height detector further protects printheads. It is ideal for the production of single and double-sided display POS, exhibition graphics, backlit/frontlit displays, outdoor signage printing and cosmetic/fashion graphics

With groundbreaking image quality and class-leading productivity, the FUJIFILM Acuity LED wide format inkjet UV-LED printer is driven by Fujifilm technology and designed for creativity. Ideal for the printer new to wide format inkjet printing, or for users who wish to save costs by printing with the newest LED-UV curing technology, the Acuity LED uses a proprietary design, patent-pending UV-LED ink curing system to produce exceptional quality display graphics on roll or rigid substrates. The machines benefits include lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact. Reaching print speeds up to 215 sq ft/hr while providing outstanding quality output, the Acuity LED offers best-in-class productivity and provides the capacity and capability to meet customer demand for shorter delivery times. The Acuity LED provides a standard 8-color ink set including CMYK plus light cyan, light magenta, white and clear, and allows printing white or clear ink in a single pass for even greater productivity. Spot clear ink adds special effects to create more value to graphic displays and signs.  Also, the innovative hybrid design allows for printing on wide format roll media, rigid board and sheet substrates up to ½” thick and 63” wide.

The latest development in the highly successful series of Uvistar super-wide format printers is the Uvistar Pro8. The new platform is particularly suited to producing super-wide format print for both display POP and outdoor advertising markets on flexible and rigid media, and includes a complete set of light colors within the ink set to increase print quality without compromising on print speed. Together with its unique Parallel Drop Size (PDS) technology, this enables the Uvistar Pro8 to produce high definition display POP graphics at speeds reaching 3800 sq.ft. per hour. Other improvements to the design include an auto media handling system for rigid media; a fully automated backlit printing option; the ability to switch between 4- and 8-color printing modes, and an intuitive new operator interface. The new Uvistar Pro8 was developed in combination with Fujifilm’s brand new Uvijet QN inks to meet the growing demands of indoor applications, where viewing distances tend to be closer and rigid materials are more commonly used.
