Fujifilm will be showcasing the ‘power of inkjet’ for label & packaging applications at Label&Print 2015 which is co-located with Packaging Innovations.

The company will be showing how its leading roll-fed printer, the Acuity LED 1600, can produce packaging samples, how its inkjet solutions are starting to transform corrugated applications and how, in partnership with FFEI, the Graphium hybrid digital label press can meet the needs of label converters looking to improve their business.

Fujifilm’s Acuity LED 1600 is a large format hybrid inkjet printer which produces outstanding packaging prototypes, including applications distinguished by varnishing effects and spot colours. The printer achieves a productivity of up to 20m2 per hour and excellent image quality, supporting substrates up to 1,610mm in width and rigid sheet materials up to 13mm thick (including PET, acrylic, polycarbonate substrates and lightweight boards including mirror and fluted).

Another key feature of the Acuity LED 1600 is the inclusion of six ink colours, with the addition of white and clear ink as standard. The machine can apply these in a single pass to produce premium matt and high gloss finishes with a much higher efficiency than a conventional printer, where colours in conjunction with white and clear inks are applied in separate passes.

Fujifilm’s Uvijet digital inks offer vibrant colours, excellent cut and crease features, and a range of finishes from low glare satin to high impact gloss that can be used for all types of corrugated applications.

At Packaging Innovations, Fujifilm will highlight the advantages offered by its integrated solution and illustrate some packaging and display applications produced using this platform.
