Herbert Walkers will take delivery of its second Speedmaster XL 106 from Heidelberg in June.
Fujifilm has revealed in a statement that it will withdraw from European sales of the Jet Press 750S and Jet Press 1160, effective from April 1st
Fujifilm will no longer sell the Jet Press 750S and Jet Press 1160 in Europe as of April 1st, with the company citing profitability issues.
The move is the first step in a strategic transformation of the Fujifilm Europe Graphic Communications business. The decision does not affect the Jet Press FP790, which will continue to be sold.
In an official full statement to Print Monthly, Fujifilm says: “At Fujifilm, our commitment to continuous improvement, while evolving and adapting to market dynamics, has been the cornerstone of our heritage.
“In the printing sector, we have observed a gradual decline in volume as the industry shifts from one technology to another, with printers increasingly seeking flexible, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable solutions. Navigating these challenges has proven to be significant."
Fujifilm continues: “Starting January 2026, we have taken the first step in a strategic transformation of the Fujifilm Europe Graphic Communications business. Due to ongoing profitability issues, the decision has been made to withdraw from future sales of the Jet Press 750S and Jet Press 1160 in Europe, effective April 1, 2026.
“This decision does not affect the Jet Press FP790, which will continue to be sold. As we move forward with this process alongside affected colleagues and customers, no further comments will be made.”
The Fujifilm Jet Press 750S is a B2 sheet-fed inkjet digital solution designed to produce replicable results to offset printing. The press is suitable for commercial print applications, photography portfolios, book covers, and a range of packaging applications.
The Fujifilm Jet Press 1160 series consists of continuous-feed roll-to-roll inkjet digital presses designed for high-volume commercial printing. Unlike the sheet-fed 750S, the 1160 models are built for industrial-scale production of books, direct mail, and transactional documents.
As of 2025, there are over 300 installations worldwide of the Jet Press 750S High Speed Model and its predecessors.
