Fujifilm’s Acuity Ultra is already operational at a number of beta sites in the UK and Spain
Available in both 5m and 3.2m models, the Acuity Ultra comes with up to eight colour channels and uses a new high-quality, low film weight Uvijet GS Fujifilm ink that is fully emission-compliant for interior graphic display work.
Built around Fujifilm's UV cured inkjet technologies, the Acuity Ultra boasts a top throughput speed of 236sq m/hr. It also has the ability to print on three rolls at the same time, thus boosting its flexibility, and can print super-wide format graphics up to 5m wide.
In addition, Fujifilm says built-in linear motors help to ensure smooth edge-to-edge printing, with no vibrations at the end of the run.
The Fujifilm Acuity series has long been known for its quality and reliability and, by adding this super-wide model to the range, we are now also offering customers a big step-up in quality and productivity”
Says Kevin Rhodes, marketing applications manager for Fujifilm Speciality Ink Systems, comments: “The Fujifilm Acuity series has long been known for its quality and reliability and, by adding this super-wide model to the range, we are now also offering customers a big step-up in quality and productivity.
“With the extra width, the option to print on three rolls simultaneously and the ability to print at high speeds with no compromise on quality, the Acuity Ultra will appeal to larger businesses and major luxury brands, helping them to boost production levels and profitability in this highly-competitive sector.”
