Cameo has purchased its new printer complete with the roll-to-roll option and a ColorGate RIP. “Previously, if a thick substrate was required for the job, we had to print on to vinyl and stick this to another material,” says John Moffett. “The Acuity HD 2504 has eliminated a process by allowing us to print directly on to the substrate, more quickly and with better quality.
The print heads on the Acuity HD 2504 can produce variable size dots, with droplets as fine as six picolitres, ensuring sharp, precise images with smooth transition and quarter tones. When jetting larger droplets, the Acuity delivers dense, uniform solid image areas. With the potential for resolutions higher than 1,200 dpi the Acuity HD 2504 delivers clean, legible type as small as 6 pt, plus exceptionally smooth skin tones and the best solid colour coverage of any other printer in its class.
Fujifilm’s variable drop technology uses up to 35 per cent less ink than fixed droplet six-colour printers, resulting in cost effective productivity throughout the life of the printer. The zoned vacuum table ensures that irregular shaped materials or those with uneven surfaces are held securely during printing, so that registration is accurate even during multiple passes. The Acuity HD 2504 prints edge-to-edge at speeds of up to 174 sq ft an hour.
