Fujifilm will demo a range of new launches on its biggest ever stand at drupa 2024
Hall 8B, Booth A02 – A02-6
From analogue and digital to toner and inkjet through to printheads, inks, and software, Fujifilm Group will have its biggest ever presence at drupa 2024.
Fujifilm will be exhibiting at the event under a new business structure having integrated its Graphic Communications business division with its Fujifilm Business Innovation Corporation in 2023.
Utilising the theme ‘Discover the Difference’, Fujifilm’s stand will be segmented into two areas: Commercial and Industrial.
In the Commercial area, Fujifilm will show the Jet Press 750S, the Revoria Press GC12500, and the Jet Press 1160CFG full colour high-speed continuous feed inkjet printing press which will be exhibited for the first time.
The Revoria Press GC12500 is the world’s first B2 full colour dry toner digital press and supports the largest size available in the current digital B2 printer market – B2XL size paper.
In addition, Fujifilm will feature new process-less plates for offset printing and DX solutions for automation and streamlining with workflow software.
Within the Industrial area, the Jet Press FP790 water-based inkjet digital press will be demonstrated, bringing innovation to the flexible packaging printing process.
New automation options for Fujifilm’s hybrid wide-format machine, and the award-winning Acuity range of wide-format printers will also be showcased.
The new Automation system is a robotic unit that allows a single operator to run the machine and facilitates a pallet-to-pallet process for rigid substrates. Users can upgrade their high-end Acuity Hybrid wide-format machines with this solution.
With four lanes, the system allows four rows of material to be printed simultaneously with each lane featuring two suction arms to pick up materials and a vacuum that can be adjusted to carry a range of substrates.
A new ink technology called ‘Aquafuze’ will be launched. This is a new water-based ink that promises the functionalities of UV and solvent inks.
Another innovation on show will be the RxD Series pigment dispersion that supports ink formulation designs that meet the increasing need for faster inkjet systems and wider substrate compatibility.
Designed to enhance printing capabilities for a range of applications, Fujifilm’s new FUJIFILM DE1024 Digital Embellishment Printbar System and FUJIFILM 42X Printbar System will be showcased.
The latter will be available to purchase at drupa in monochrome and four-colour in three print widths: 343mm, 686mm, and 1016mm.
Greg Balch, vice president and general manager in charge of FUJIFILM Integrated Inkjet Solutions, comments: “After eight years, we’re excited to be back at drupa, the largest printing equipment exhibition in the world, to demonstrate how our cutting-edge lineup of integrated imprinting systems allows OEMs and brand owners to add advanced digital printing capabilities to existing equipment.”
Drupa 2024 will take place from May 28th to June 7th in the Dusseldorf Exhibition Centre, Germany.
