Fujifilm Group began developing inkjet technology in the late 1970s and released the world’s first single-pass inkjet cut-sheet printer, the Jet Press 720 in 2011. This was later followed by the Jet Press 750S, which with its high-resolution printing capability of 1200 dpi and exceptional quality, surpassing offset printing, has achieved significant global success, with over 300 printers sold to date.
In 2011, Fujifilm Group launched a continuous-feed inkjet printer for the transaction print market in Japan and Asia-Pacific. This was followed in 2019 with another press targeting the commercial printing market in Japan. In the transaction printing market, Fujifilm has achieved high-speed, high-volume, stable output of variable data using its own server technology, while in the commercial printing market, the company has achieved the high image quality demanded, using Fujifilm’s own pre-coatless ink. In Japan and Asia-Pacific, with more than 150 printers sold, Fujifilm currently has the largest share of the market.
Fujifilm Group is pleased to announce that it’s now showcasing its new continuous-feed inkjet printer, the Jet Press 1160CFG at drupa 2024, combining the experience and technological capabilities cultivated over more than a decade. By adopting a newly developed water-based pigment ink, the new press is able to print beautifully on both coated and uncoated paper.
The innovative new press also adopts Fujifilm Group’s proprietary new technology “Paper Stabilizer*1“. Paper Stabilizer controls paper condition before printing, which solves production issues that customers of continuous-feed inkjet printers have often faced, such as ink adhesion on thick paper, waviness on thin paper, and quality fluctuations due to environmental and seasonal factors. The press can be used for a wide range of applications in commercial printing, including direct mail and brochures. At drupa 2024, Fujifilm will be demonstrating this new technology for the first time.
Fujifilm Group aims to enhance the value and streamline the operations of customer businesses through the provision of high quality products, helping them to grow into the future. Visit the Fujifilm drupa stand to learn more.
