DRUPA TECHNOLOGY VIDEO: FUJIFILM BI

Imaging giant Fujifilm had one of the biggest stands at the drupa, and used it to show a swag of new print solutions in commercial and packaging hardware, software and consumables.

It has launched the world’s first B2 sheetfed toner press, its first digital flexibles press, as well as new flexo plate, new inkjet heads and a new XMF workflow. The new toner-powered B2 Revoria GC 12500 will join the B2 inkjet Jetpress that the company launched a decade ago, and which now has 300 systems running around the world.

Fujifilm is also launching upgrades to its Revoria 1120, which currently prints in six colours, adding new specialty colours to enable it to print CMYK plus RGB. The company says it also comes with the world’s first pressure sensitive adhesive, which it says will work in applications such as direct mail.

The company also has a new Jetpress 1160 continuous feed printer, available outside of Japan for the first time. It will print on both coated and uncoated papers, and comes with a paper stabiliser to overcome paper feed difficulties.

The new digital inkjet packaging press for flexibles if the Fujifilm FP790, which runs at 50 metres a minute at 1200 x 1200dpi on flexible film. Released in Europe earlier this year, five systems have so far been installed.

On the Fujifilm stand, Chris Lynch, general manager - GCS at FUJIFILM Business Innovation AustraliaA, outlines the new developments to Print21 editor Wayne Robinson, and says why they are important for print businesses.
