Fujifilm Revoria
PC1120
Fujifilm Business Innovation has launched its six-station Revoria PC1120 digital colour press as its flagship printer, which it says will open up new opportunities for print businesses, thanks to its gold, silver, white, pink and clear printing options.
It prints 120ppm in 2400x2400dpi, on a range of stocks from 52-400gsm that include synthetics and metallics, as well as coated and uncoated stocks, in sizes up to 1.2m long, with duplexing, and comes with a full suite of inline finishing options.
Speaking at the launch event Chris Lynch, general manager of Graphic Communications at Fujifilm, said print businesses would benefit from the multiple one-pass applications, the opportunity to add value to CMYK print with the extra stations, and the consistency of quality that the press delivers.
Switching between the extra
two colours, in stations 1 and 6, takes five minutes, with five screws to undo, and then another three minutes for the press to reboot. There is no waste or spillage, and following a changeover the first sheet is sellable.

Those extra units include gold and silver for metallic
and foiling effects, pink for enhanced flesh tones and spot colour enhancement, white for printing on coloured media and packaging – including Kraft, PET, and board– and clear for spot varnish effect.
Extensive inline finishing options include a five-crease creasing system, and the ability to produce stitched square back booklets in the booklet making system.
Konica Minolta
AccurioPress C7100
Konica Minolta has released the AccurioPress C7100 series digital colour presses, which it says are packed with innovative technologies, designed to create more profitable business opportunities.
The AccurioPress C7100 is a new high speed print engine from Konica Minolta, and incorporates some of the key features of the successful AccurioPress
C14000 Series
and AccurioPress
C4080 Series.
The new
AccurioPress
C7100 runs at 100
colour pages per
minute (ppm) with
the AccurioPress
C7090 at 90ppm.
With a focus on optimising performance, offering new and advanced print products, and growing the entire business, the AccurioPress C7100 series is designed to complete more jobs with innovative technologies.
Konica Minolta’s latest Simitri V toner is eco-friendly and formulated for performance. Described by the company as fast melting, energy
efficient, and low maintenance, it reproduces quality on a wider range of media up to 400gsm. Combined with an output resolution of 3600dpi equivalent x 2400dpi, results are achieved from even the longest print runs.
With auto-duplex banners up
to 900mm and the flexibility to handle embossed and textured media, Konica Minolta says that the machines are so simple that the most complex projects can be run by a single operator.
Ricoh Pro C5300s
Imaging giant Ricoh is launching the Pro C5300s, a new entry-level digital colour printer, which draws much of its technology from its well- established big brothers – the Pro C7200 and Pro C9200.
Ricoh is targeting commercial printers, copy shops, and franchises with its new Pro C5300s digital colour print system. The company is pitching it as an entry-level printer, but with the functionality of its high-end siblings.
Henryk Kraszewski, product marketing manager at Ricoh, said, “The new 5300 S will produce everything from regular brochures – saddle stitched and folded – to 1.26-metre banners, to envelopes and NCR sets. It is a real workhorse for any print business, but at an entry-level price.”
New to the format is the vacuum feed table found on the Pro C7200 and Pro C9200 models, which
come with mechanical registration beloved of printers everywhere. It will print on stock up to 360gsm, with no loss of rated speed for anything up to 250gsm. Stocks include synthetic and textile papers. It prints duplex at the same speed as single sided. 21
