Acuity Advance HS printer has UV curing system

Fujifilm Europe has introduced the Acuity Advance HS wide-format UV inkjet printer, which is claimed to meet demands for a cost-effective printer with productivity.

The Acuity Advance HS maintains many of the design features of the Acuity HD2504 and Acuity Advance models, but a modified printhead array virtually doubles the print speed, claimed Fujifilm.

Near-photographic quality images can be achieved at typical production speeds of 40m2/hour, the company said.

In addition, there is an 'express' mode for images viewed from greater distances, which operates at 65m2/hour.

One of the key features of the Acuity Advance HS is the UV curing system.

The printer's flatbed design employs a zoned vacuum system to hold all types of media, including irregularly shaped materials or substrates with uneven surfaces.

This is said to ensure accurate registration, even on multiple passes.

It also prints edge-to-edge, saving time and labour in post-print finishing.

In addition, the Acuity Advance HS increases print application possibilities with a white option to complement the standard four-colour CMYK ink set.

The optional roll media unit can be installed to print a range of flexible materials.

To maximise print time, the operator can prepare rigid media on the bed, while the roll media unit is printing.

The printer uses Fujifilm Sericol's Uvijet inks incorporating Micro-V dispersion technology, which is claimed to provide the ink system with strong vibrant colours, a wide adhesion range and print durability.
