Fujifilm will exhibit at The Print Show for the third consecutive year this September and will use the event to showcase new innovations to the UK market.
The manufacturer made its debut at the show in 2023, using its stand to display several new solutions. Following this initial success, the brand returned last year, demonstrating its Print-on-Demand (POD) toner presses, the Acuity Prime wide-format inkjet printer, and its range of Apeos office printers.
For 2025, Fujifilm will be following a similar strategy, using The Print Show as a platform to showcase it latest innovations to what is set to be a hugely diverse audience, helped by the addition of the new, co-located The Sign Show.
“The Print Show is a great opportunity to get a feel for the character, culture and of course the core technology of key suppliers to the market,” explains Andy Kent, who is the general manager for Fujifilm UK. He adds: “I hope that it will give confidence to the wider market by showing that suppliers like Fujifilm are still investing in the future of print and bringing innovative and sustainable solutions to the market.
“Honestly, we can’t wait for the show this year. We are really looking forward to it and would urge all printing companies to attend and see what we are doing.”
Groundbreaking technologies
Offering an insight into what visitors can expect from Fujifilm on Stand P400 at the front of Hall 3 at the NEC, Kent picks out several machines that will make an appearance during the show.
These include the Acuity Triton featuring AQUAFUZE, another new release from Fujifilm. The new roll-fed machine uses the manufacturer’s AQUAFUZE water-based, UV ink technology, and can print at 15sq m/hr in high-speed mode. For high-quality print work, the machine can still run as fast as 6sq m/hr.
“In a saturated market, it was high time a revolutionary technology broke into this space to offer wide-format print companies a real differentiator in productivity and all-round performance, and this with sustainability in mind,” Fujifilm said upon the launch of the printer. “We believe this breakthrough technology is just the step forward the print industry needs.”
Other highlights on Stand P400 will be the Acuity Prime flatbed UV printer, which Fujifilm bills as a “new blueprint for flatbed ROI”. Boasting a top printing speed of 150sq m/hr, the machine can run rigid media up to 2.5m x 1.25m and as thick as 51mm. Using Ricoh Gn 5 greyscale, variable drop printheads, it can produce work at a maximum resolution of 726 x 1200dpi.
“A true flatbed with a unique, exceptional design and high value, the Acuity Prime offers high quality printing on a range of rigid and flexible media, supported by its five dedicated vacuum zones and jettable primer,” Fujifilm says, adding: “This range is available at a cost-effective price point and offers an excellent return on investment.”
For those seeking smaller-format options, Fujifilm will show the new 5UPER COLOUR print models, which include the Revoria Press EC2100S and SC285S. Both new machines incorporate a range of advanced technologies for what Fujifilm describes as “groundbreaking” performance, quality and application versatility. In addition, these Revoria presses offer a fifth colour to print wider colour gamuts and speciality effects, which the manufacturer says will help users help stand out in an increasingly demanding market.
“The Revoria EC2100S and SC285S bring next generation performance and the benefits of five-colour printing to help you differentiate your business,” Fujifilm says.
