the print plate, meaning no shrinkage. With a throughput of up to 236sqm per hour, the machine is capable of printing on
three rolls simultaneously, as well as printing super-wide format graphics up to five metres in width. In addition, linear motors ensure smooth edge-to-edge printing with no vibrations at the end of the run.
Troy Neighbour, product marketing manager at Fujifilm Australia says, “The Fujifilm Acuity series has long been known for its quality and reliability and, by adding this super-wide model to the range, we are now also offering customers a big step-up in print quality and productivity.
“With the extra width, the option to print on three rolls simultaneously, and the ability to print at high speeds with no compromise on quality, the Acuity Ultra will appeal to larger businesses and major luxury brands.” 21

Visitors to Fespa will have seen Acuity Ultra on the Fujifilm booth, with the company saying the Acuity Ultra forms a key part of Fujifilm’s industrial strategy, offering increased size and quality to make the production of high-end interior graphics more profitable. Built around Fujifilm’s UV cured inkjet technologies, the company says

Available in both 5 metre and 3.2 metre models, the Acuity Ultra is available with up to eight colour channels, using a new, high- quality, low film weight Uvijet GS Fujifilm ink.
