Fujifilm presented innovations at SGIA EXPO 2011

New to SGIA this year was the Inca Onset S40 wide format UV flatbed inkjet printer, the latest addition to the industry-leading Inca Onset Series. Introduced at Graph Expo 2011 last month, the Inca Onset S40, available exclusively from Fujifilm, prints at throughput speeds up to 5,059 sq ft/hr producing 94 full beds (63" x 123.6") per hour onto a wide variety of substrates up to 2" thick, including plastic, metal and board stock. Available in either 4-color (CMYK) or 6-color (CMYK + Lc + Lm), the Inca Onset S40 has been engineered to provide outstanding "best-in-class" levels of quality and performance at a low cost per print. Come see for yourself why the print quality of the Inca Onset S40 uniquely positions it as the highest quality of all high-volume flatbed presses on the market today.

Also being shown for the first time at SGIA was the Fujifilm Acuity LED 1600 wide format inkjet LED-UV printer, winner of a "Must See ’em" award at last month’s Graph Expo show. Incorporating a patent-pending LED-UV ink-curing system, the Acuity LED 1600 provides high-speed inkjet printing with exceptional quality. Reaching print speeds up to 215 sq ft/hr, the Acuity LED 1600 provides 8 colors standard and uses specialized Fujifilm fast-curing UV inks. The state-of-the-art LED lamp design allows printing white or clear ink in a single pass, further adding to productivity. Designed for the printer who is new to wide format inkjet printing or for users who wish to reduce costs while increasing productivity and quality, the Acuity LED 1600 offers great value and outstanding print quality in an entry-level printer.

The Acuity Advance HS UV flatbed printer offers photographic quality printing at speeds of 433 sq ft/hr – 85 percent faster than previous Acuity Advance printers. An express mode allows speeds of more than 650 sq ft/hr giving printers unmatched performance for the price. The Acuity Advance HS provides precise registration and edge-to-edge printing, which saves time, labor and material. The roll media option makes it a cost-effective UV roll solution for printing onto flexible materials.

Fujifilm offered several times a day a live presentation on its booth to overview and highlight the full range of Fujifilm Inkjet Technologies, including the highest-quality wide format printers, color management solutions, and a complete range of inks and media.
