Fujifilm Acuity Line
The Fujifilm Acuity line is a series of mid-range to premium-range advanced large-format UV flatbed and hybrid printers known for reliability and producing detailed prints on a wide range of rigid and flexible substrates, making them ideal for signage, displays, packaging, and other industrial applications.

Fujifilm J Press Line
The company says its Fujifilm J Press line, including both the J Press 750HS B2 sheet-fed inkjet and new J Press 1160CFG roll-fed inkjet, are particularly well-suited for a variety of applications across many markets.
The J Press series is said to combine the benefits of digital printing with the robust capabilities of traditional offset presses and are renowned for their exceptional print quality. Fujifilm’s proprietary technology and high-performance Vividia aqueous pigment inks are said to provide vibrant colors, excellent sharpness, and smooth gradations.

Fujifilm Integrated Inkjet Solutions
Fujifilm offers a range of inkjet printbar products that can be integrated into other equipment and processes to add inkjet printing capability. The result can be a hybrid analog/digital printing press or new digital printing capability in production lines not normally thought of as “printing,” such as food production and product manufacturing.
Fujifilm has a range of products for inkjet integration including the ultra-compact Mini 4300, the scalable 42K Printbar System, and a four-color option called the 12K Printbar System. Also, legacy continuous inkjet printbars for direct mail and transactional printing can be replaced with the 42X Printbar System designed specifically for easy transition from older add-on technologies.
“As part of SumnerOne’s broad service offering, our recent acquisition of PPS enables customers to maximize the investment they have made in their Fujifilm print solutions,” commented Edmund Sumner, co-president of SumnerOne. “PPS has a broad network of service locations where over 70 highly skilled service technicians are supporting specialized, high-volume continuous-feed systems and complex finishing setups involving tailored print head solutions. This service approach is highly targeted to the complex print manufacturing needs of clients operating in very high-volume sectors.”
By partnering with Fujifilm, SumnerOne says it’s broadening its production mono and color offerings, as well as wide-format inkjet solutions, while enabling PPS to offer a comprehensive portfolio of advanced industrial print solutions designed specifically for ultra high-volume production customers including B2, roll fed and hybrid digital/analog solutions with integrated inkjet printbars d for cases where inkjet presses simply won’t fit. For the initial part of the Fujifilm and SumnerOne/PPS partnership, both companies will closely collaborate on inkjet solutions in the B2 and continuous feed arena.
