Fujifilm debuts next generation inkjet digital press technology

The Fujifilm Inkjet Digital Press prints up to 2,700 28.3”x 20.5” four-up size sheets per hour, or 10,800 8.5” x 11” pages per hour, making it competitive with the short run offset print market. It is a perfect alternative for the commercial printer looking for a product that has offset quality and the robustness of an offset press as well as the versatility to handle the shortest of press runs.

It incorporates an infrared drying system, which means there isn’t any drying time necessary after printing and sheets are ready move into the finishing stage of production immediately. By greatly reducing production times on short runs, printers can produce more jobs more efficiently, which equates to money saved, higher margins and more revenue. Plus, its standard-size configuration lends itself towards all types of readily available finishing products.

Print quality is an incredible 1,200 dpi, with four-level gray scale capability. This high level of print quality is achieved by utilizing Fujifilm Dimatix’s Samba single pass piezo DOD (drop-on-demand) inkjet head technology. Each of these advanced heads can produce a variable droplet size of 2 picoliters.

The Fujifilm Inkjet Digital Press uses water-based, eco-friendly ink instead of toner, meaning the unit requires less cleaning and produces less waste.
