Fujifilm to unveil new products at FESPA Berlin 2025

Fujifilm will use its first FESPA appearance since 2023 to showcase its latest solutions for wide format print on stands B60 and A61 in Hall 25.

Acuity Ultra Hybrid Pro and the new Fujifilm and Barberan single pass HS3000 inkjet press can be seen on stand B60 while the adjacent stand, A61, will showcase the formal launch of Fujifilm’s Acuity Triton and AQUAFUZE ink technology

Acuity Ultra Hybrid Pro: High-production flexibility

Designed for roll or rigid media, the Acuity Ultra Hybrid Pro features a ‘quick run’ option, with a small roll function integrated into the bed, allowing short roll jobs to be carried out on the fly.

The Acuity Ultra Hybrid Pro uses patented Fujifilm ink technology that adheres to a wide variety of media and is especially designed for both rigid and roll substrates.

With a 3.3m print width, the Acuity Ultra Hybrid Pro can be equipped with up to 32 Kyocera printheads, each delivering a 3.5pl drop size and up to 10,624 nozzles per colour.

The press can be integrated with a comprehensive new automation system designed for the automatic handling of rigid materials, allowing one single operator to run the machine for a full pallet-to-pallet process.

The Acuity Ultra Hybrid Pro will be commercially available soon after FESPA.

Fujifilm & Barberan: Single pass solutions for sign and display

Fujifilm and Barberan have developed a single pass inkjet solution available in two configurations. At the top end, the HS6000 is capable of production volumes up to 6000 sqm/hr, while a smaller, lower volume alternative, the HS3000, is being launched at FESPA. With a slightly smaller footprint, slightly lower speed and a lower investment cost – the HS3000 opens up the possibilities of single pass inkjet to a much broader audience.

The HS series is a multi-substrate, single-pass printer operating with the high resolution printheads (600dpi) whilst maintaining small droplet sizes (5pl).

The HS6000 and the HS3000 can be configured in numerous ways, with manual feed options from 600 boards per hour through to top of the range automation at 2000 boards per hour. Fujifilm offers multiple ink sets and for many media types, printing can be done without a primer.

There are five core elements: feeder, primer, print engine, overprint varnish, and stacker, and then there are multiple configuration options within each component, with, in effect, around 216 configurations possible in total for customers to choose from.

Fujifilm will showcase an interactive configurator on the stand allowing potential customers to customise the machine to suit their business needs and is also preparing for an open house event in the summer with interested parties able to register their interest on the stand.

Acuity Triton featuring AQUAFUZE

After over a decade of research and development Fujifilm is introducing its new ink technology, AQUAFUZE. This produces thin-film, low-pile prints with sharp detail and a smooth, scratch-resistant finish – eliminating the need for a top coat. The prints are highly durable and suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

AQUAFUZE technology combines the benefits of UV LED and water-based inkjet printing, offering strong adhesion to various media without requiring a pre-coat primer or optimiser. It operates with lower energy consumption and reduced temperature drying compared to conventional water-based systems. Additionally, it benefits from low-odour output, meets safety compliance standards, and enhances jetting stability by minimising nozzle blockages. This makes AQUAFUZE a more sustainable and user-friendly alternative to traditional water-based ink technologies.

Fujifilm is launching AQUAFUZE with the debut of the Acuity Triton at FESPA. This advanced printer, manufactured in Japan by Mutoh, has been specifically designed to harness the power of AQUAFUZE, offering a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to traditional water-based printing systems.

The Acuity Triton, with a 1.6m print width, delivers exceptional quality at speeds of up to 15 sqm/hr while ensuring instant drying for immediate finishing, cutting, or laminating. Thanks to the low-temperature drying of the AQUAFUZE ink, the Triton minimises nozzle blockages, improves jetting stability, and significantly reduces energy consumption, making it more suitable for businesses of all sizes prioritising sustainability and requiring lower maintenance.

The Acuity Triton featuring AQUAFUZE will be rolled out in phases, region by region, dependent on dealership agreements in place. More details will be available at FESPA.

Fujifilm will host a press conference at 5pm on day one of the show, focusing on Fujifilm’s relationship with Barberan and the launch of the HS3000, as well as the Acuity Ultra Hybrid Pro and AQUAFUZE in combination with Acuity Triton.

David Burton, Director, Fujifilm WFIJ Systems, comments: “We’re delighted to be back at FESPA for the first time in two years, bringing unique solutions to the high-volume, industrial sign and display market. We’re excited to have two separate sections to our stand focusing on very different market needs. We’ve listened carefully to industry needs and designed these solutions to meet real market demands, backed by Fujifilm’s unrivalled service and support. At Fujifilm, our philosophy is clear: rather than rushing to market, we evaluate industry trends, identify competitor weaknesses, and deliver superior solutions tailored to evolving customer needs. FESPA Berlin 2025 will mark the introduction of three transformative products set to become industry benchmarks.”
