Dimatix Printheads
Market-leading Fujifilm Dimatix QFR7, 7pl native drop size and low film weight ensure very high quality that truly rivals offset.
Convenient material size and familiar format
B1 is a hugely convenient, easy-tohandle format. If you use offset or analogue screen processes, you’ll probably be familiar with it. Teamed with full automation, sheets fly off the press; no need to unnecessarily handle large and unwieldy materials.
Fujifilm Uvijet ink technology
Fujifilm Uvijet ink systems are renowned in the industry through Fujifilm’s high productivity wide format printers. Uvijet produces a low-build ink film with excellent coverage and adhesion, highdensity vibrant backlits and a durable finish.
Print a massive range of profit-making applications
With the ability to print on a wide range of flexible and rigid materials up to 10 mm thick, including plastics, Acuity B1 opens the door to a wide range of applications – including eye-catching point of sale materials such as shelf wobblers, merchandising strips, shelftalkers, counter displays, promotional items such as counter mats, decals and product tags, plus much more. LED UV pinning technology provides a choice of print finishes – from satin to gloss – which means with Acuity B1 you can offer your customers the same finishes as you would with screen or offset processes.
UV hybrid curing system
The Acuity B1 design provides a unique hybrid system with LED UV pinning and UV cure. Together with Uvijet KX, this allows for more accurate control of the UV intensity than other systems. This gives you better control over the appearance of your print and a very powerful tool to determine your final print finish.
