Fujifilm launches new Revoria and Apeos solutions at Vienna event

Fujifilm used its recent Make More partner conference event in Vienna to release new print solutions to the European market, including the Revoria PC2120 print-on-demand (POD) production press and the Apeos C3567 series and C3061 series of multifunction office printers.

The event, which took place at the Hilton Vienna Waterfront earlier this week [June 8^th and 9^th], included a range of talks, product launches, and technology showcases, with senior leaders at Fujifilm including president and chief executive officer (CEO) of FUJIFILM Business Innovation, Naoki Hama, speaking to the assembled delegates, and with members of the press from across Europe and beyond in attendance.

Senior leaders speaking at the event outlined Fujifilm’s strategic aims for the future, with POD and office solutions being a key focus for the company moving forward. In a speech during the conference, Kazuo Tamura, corporate vice president of FUJIFILM Business Innovation, outlined that Fujifilm sees Europe as being “central to our next growth phase.”

The manufacturer previously announced that it would cease sales of its Acuity Prime and Acuity Ultra product lines globally, amid what it saw as significant changes in the outlook of the wide-format inkjet market.

The company also previously announced that it would cease sales of the Jet Press 750S and 1160 industrial printing presses in Europe and North America, citing a need to evolve and adapt to market dynamics.

The Revoria PC2120 Series was unveiled live on stage at the event as part of this shift in strategic focus, with European sales of the new press beginning on the same day.

The PC2120 is the new flagship model in Fujifilm’s Revoria Press series for high-end professional printing. Building on the technology of the previous Revoria PC1120, the PC2120 introduces more advanced AI-driven automation, an expanded colour gamut featuring a newly developed green toner, and one-pass six-colour printing using CMYK plus two speciality toners.

Chief among the new features of the PC2120 is its new UV-activated fluorescent green toner. When combined with the existing fluorescent pink toner, the press can reproduce more vivid colours that Fujifim says more closely match the RGB colours designers see on screens.

When working in tandem, the additional green and pink toners can reportedly expand the printable colour gamut to achieve 93% of Pantone spot colours.

The PC2120 also simplifies wide-gamut speciality colour printing with features like automatic colour separation, converting RGB data into CMYK layers plus green and pink specialty layers, thereby reducing the time and complexity of prepress editing.

Fujifilm’s expanded speciality toner lineup now comprises of seven toners including gold, silver, pink, and white, with Fujifilm outlining a key commitment to catering for diverse customer needs and fostering greater creative expression.

The event also served as the European launch of two additions to Fujifilm’s A3 multifunction printer series – the Apeos C3567 series and the Apeos C3061 series.

Also available now through authorised Fujifilm partners in a range of European markets, the solutions focus on smart automation, flexibility, security, and lowered environmental impact, as well as introducing the company’s new ELFEAT toner technology.

The ELFEAT toner reduces the fusing temperature by 15°C compared to toners used in previous series, reducing the energy required for the most power-consuming process in multifunction printing and thereby reducing CO2 emissions by up to 61% in comparison to conventional EA toner.

Paper handling has also been enhanced, enabling the output of paper from 52gsm to 300gsm, as well as longer 297 x 1,200mm paper for in-house production of promotional materials.
