Fujifilm Australia is pleased to announce the introduction of the new Acuity Advance HS large format UV inkjet printer.
The Advance HS is the next generation printer in the highly successful Acuity series, first launched in April 2007 and which have quickly become the fastest selling flatbed UV inkjet printers in the market today. The Advance HS will sit alongside the Acuity Advance and Advance X2 printers in Fujifilm’s printer line-up.
The Acuity Advance HS is the latest breakthrough in wide format UV digital imaging technology from Fujifilm. The printer offers near photographic quality printing, improved speeds and all at a truly affordable price. While the Acuity Advance HS maintains many of the leading design features of the Acuity HD2504 and Acuity Advance models, it incorporates a modified print-head array to achieve up to twice the printing speeds of the Acuity Advance. With typical production speeds of 40m² per hour and a high quality mode with speeds of 28m² per hour, the Acuity Advance HS will deliver more daily output than any other printer in its class. In addition, a new “express” mode will offer billboard quality prints at up to 65m² per hour.
The Acuity Advance HS also has a newly redesigned UV curing system which reduces heat output by 40%, compared to the Acuity Advance, while maintaining UV curing output for excellent finishing results. The Acuity Advance HS flatbed design employs a zoned vacuum table to hold all types of media, including irregularly shaped or uneven surfaced materials. This ensures accurate registration even on multiple passes. It also prints edge-to-edge, saving time and labour in finishing. In addition, the Acuity Advance HS expands the number of possible print applications with a versatile white ink option, to complement the standard four colour CMYK offering, and a roll media option for printing onto any number of flexible materials. The Acuity Advance HS is so versatile an operator can prepare rigid material on the flatbed while the roll media option is printing.
The Acuity Advance HS print performance is optimised by Fujifilm Sericol’s uniquely formulated Uvijet inks. Uvijet’s patented Micro-V dispersion technology delivers wide adhesion, vibrancy and durability in every print. With two unique ink sets available for the Advance HS, customers can choose the right ink to suit their specific application requirements.
Commercial shipments of the Acuity Advance HS will commence in March 2010. The Acuity Advance HS will be demonstrated at the International Sign Association tradeshow in Orlando, April 7-10, and at Ipex in Birmingham, May 18th, on the Fujifilm stand.
