FUJIFILM Showcases Total Solution for Wide Format Printers
Monday 21. September 2009 - Inca Onset S20 Running Live; addition of Fujifilm Wide Format roll media enhances portfolio
With a continued investment in the graphic communications industry and, more specifically in the wide format market, FUJIFILM Graphic Systems U.S.A., Inc. will display its full portfolio of wide format solutions during PRINT 09, being held Sept. 11-16, 2009 at Chicagos McCormick Place Convention Center.
Making its North American debut and running live in the Fujifilm booth (#6919) is the new Inca Onset S20, a new wave in UV flatbed printing that promises to challenge the way printers view traditional methods of printing. With production speeds up to 2,688 sq. ft. per hour over a 123″ x 63″ area on substrates nearly 2″ thick, the Inca Onset S20 features FUJIFILM Dimatix Spectra printheads and a choice of print finished from low glare satin to high impact gloss.
Fujifilms portfolio – which now includes a “best in class” full portfolio of eco, mild and UV printers, Fujifilm ink, high quality color management RIP software, Fujifilm media, Fujifilm technical support, service and consulting- was developed in response to customers demands for a turnkey solution. “Our customers overwhelmingly told us that they wanted more than a dealer that supplied them with products,” explains Jason Kammes, Fujifilms product marketing manager for color, proofing and wide format products. “Theyre looking for a long-term partner to help steer them in new directions and to grow their businesses. With our wide format specialists and the expansion of our portfolio, were uniquely poised to do that.”
The latest addition to the companys wide format offerings is a full range of Fujifilm wide format solvent and UV roll media, including everything from banner media to multiple paper selections to canvas to wall graphic material and adhesive vinyl.
“Our new range of roll media is designed to provide optimal performance in terms of print quality, color development and durability and will allow our customers to better control their printing operations, making them more efficient and minimizing their overall operating costs,” adds Kammes.
The Fujifilm Acuity Advance UV flatbed printer will also be running live throughout the show. Its 35 percent faster than previous models and prints up to 239 sq. ft. per hour and now features white ink for packaging, flexographic and POP applications as well as roll-to-roll option.
Fujifilm will also introduce the new Mutoh ValueJet 1618 (64″) printer that has extremely high-quality at production speeds up to 480 sq. ft per hour. Fujifilm will also showcase the Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 64″ solvent-based commercial outdoor printer and the Epson Stylus Pro 9900, a 44″ inkjet printer designed for the professional large format market. All solutions provide astonishing, brilliant color, exceptional image quality and best-in-class print speeds.
Driving all of the Fujifilm wide format solutions will be ColorGATE PRODUCTIONSERVER5 Ultimate FUJIFILM Edition, a new universal RIP software that offers robust color management features and functionality. With ColorGATE, users are able to RIP once and color manage across all of the devices in their shop, allowing them to achieve predictable results and consistent color each and every day.
