Fujifilm’s Graphium digital press to debut in UK

At Ipex 2014, Fujufilm will debut the new Graphium digital label press. Also on show will be the company’s Jet Press 720 B2 sheet-fed press and the Jet Press 540W web press. Fujifilm will be running both the Jet Press 720 and Jet Press 540W live for the duration of the show, in as real a production environment as possible. Thanks to a partnership with Intelligent Finishing Systems Ltd at the show, Fujifilm will be focussing on the production of finished print using inkjet technologies, with a Horizon StitchLiner 6000 on its stand. As a result, the company will be producing short run calendars, brochures, magazines, books, labels, manuals and posters with run lengths from 1 to 5000, and will be demonstrating the business model for each one.

The production of labels and speciality print will also be showcased on the Fujifilm stand with Graphium, the new digital UV inkjet press developed and manufactured by FFEI, being used to highlight how production costs can be reduced and how the right digital press can be a viable solution for both short and long run label conversion jobs. Combined with Fujifilm’s new Uvijet Graphium ink, developed specifically for label printing applications, this system raises the bar in terms of the performance that can be achieved from a digital label press.

Finally, Fujifilm will be showcasing its XMF workflow production suite, and inform as how this advanced software can not only support high volume, variable data digital print production, but also handle the fast turnarounds required for short run digital print.
