Fujifilm Jet Press 720 demonstrated live for the first time in Europe at Ipex 2010

The Jet Press 720 takes the print quality produced by a digital printing system to new heights thanks to a combination of technologies. Firstly, the Jet Press 720 makes use of SAMBATM print-head technology that achieves resolutions of 1,200dpi x 1,200dpi with four variable dot sizes (minimum size: two picolitres), a specification unobtainable from any other digital printing system.

Secondly, quality is enhanced through Fujifilm’s unique “anti-curling” and “rapid coagulation ink” technologies, which deliver vibrant images and prevent paper curl and dot gain. Finally, the superb registration accuracy of the Jet Press 720 together with the use of a CCD sensor (which scans every sheet and makes any necessary alterations in real time) means superb quality can be achieved sheet after sheet.

The Jet Press 720 can print a B2 sheet in a single-pass, resulting in production speeds of approximately 2,700 B2 sheets an hour. This represents unprecedented productivity for a sheet-fed digital press and will move the break point for the cost effectiveness of digital as a print production technology further into the traditional litho area.

Hideaki Kawai, product planning manager of the Digital Printing Business, Graphic Systems Business Division at Fujifilm’s Tokyo headquarters comments: “Development of the Jet Press has been meticulously undertaken, using the very best technologies available, and we are now very excited to be able to show printers exactly what this new B2 sheet-fed inkjet press will mean for their businesses. Visitors to our stand will be able to see how the press works, what it can achieve in terms of productivity and performance and also give them a chance to ask questions of the technical experts who will be on hand.”
