PLATESENSE

The smart way to manage your offset plate production

Optimise your offset plate production

PLATESENSE is a programme designed to help you manage your offset plate production more efficiently, and ultimately reduce costs.

The main idea behind PLATESENSE is for Fujifilm to take responsibility for managing a number of core elements of offset plate production. Fujifilm supplies the plates when you need them, but importantly, can also take care of your waste and aluminium collection, and service and maintain your processor.

Why PLATESENSE?

Flexible financing and lower operational costs for your pre-press

Remove the hassle of managing your pre-press department

Upgrade your CTP equipment or workflow with flexible financing

Pre-press the smart way – minimise the burden of plate production in whatever way possible

At its heart, PLATESENSE is a programme designed to minimise the burden of offset plate production in whatever way possible, so that the costs and time involved can be minimised and resources focussed elsewhere. But there are also opportunities to improve and maximise efficiencies by upgrading to a new CTP device, introducing a higher performance plate, or even changing a workflow to streamline production.

CTP equipment rental

As part of the CTP equipment rental programme, Fujifilm will install and maintain the equipment, and remove the equipment at the end of the payment period, typically five years. We will agree a deposit (normally only 3 months payment up front), and a monthly payment plan with a choice of low or high payments.

This part of the PLATESENSE programme eliminates the capital expenditure required to upgrade or invest in a new platesetter, and provides a predictable and manageable cost. At the end of the payment period, you also have the opportunity to invest in new, better equipment. It is even possible for you to upgrade the equipment during the five year programme, subject to the financial arrangement being reviewed and recalculated.

CTP equipment swap-out

If you already have a CTP device that you would like to swap out for a higher performance model, Fujifilm is able to offer an equipment swap-out programme as part of PLATESENSE. This is an extension of the rental option, with the addition of Fujifilm offering you a price for taking away your existing device.

Depending on the model that you have installed, Fujifilm will offer you a competitive buy-back deal to remove your existing engine. This value will then be offset against the monthly payment plan for a new CTP device on a rental programme (or you could take the money as cash). This can typically mean that Fujifilm will remove an existing platesetter, install a new, higher performance machine, and your initial monthly rental payments will be offset by the value of the second hand machine that is due to be removed.

A new workflow

It is important your workflow keeps pace with the changes in your business, as otherwise it can have an effect on your efficiency and job turn-around times. As part of the PLATESENSE programme, Fujifilm can make upgrading your workflow as easy as possible, allowing you to take advantage of our industry-leading XMF solution. Again, this can be financed by applying a simple uplift to the plate price.

The benefits of this capability extend beyond the obvious application of variable data personalisation. Jobs can also be printed ‘collated’ in page order to simplify and speed up the finishing process or improve the logistics for job distribution, making the production of versioned print jobs simple and straightforward.

Full managed plate production

The ultimate PLATESENSE solution is for Fujifilm to take full responsibility for all parts of your plate production. In addition to all the elements described in part 1 of the programme, Fujifilm would also take responsibility for your pre-press operators, with them effectively being outsourced to Fujifilm. This eliminates the hassle of plate production entirely, allowing you to concentrate on what matters the most, running your business.

The transition was seamless and cost us nothing, as the installation and maintenance of the equipment are also covered by the fee.

Flexibility

A programme built to be flexible

The important thing to remember with PLATESENSE is that it is designed to be flexible. You can combine different elements to suit your business needs.

Mix & Match

You can, for example, just rent a new CTP device and agree a monthly payment plan. Or, if your offset plate production equipment is reaching the end of its life, you can invest in a completely new suite of high performance equipment, including a new workflow, financed to suit the needs of your business and cash flow.

Flexibility for the future

The PLATESENSE programme has also been built to be flexible over time. This means it is possible to change the programme as your business changes, subject to a new financing package.

Fujifilm as your partner

The other benefit of adopting PLATESENSE is the reassurance that Fujifilm will be your long term partner to offer support and guidance along the way. You will also be able to take advantage of Fujifilm’s other industry-leading technologies as your business evolves.

A new range of Revoria digital presses from Fujifilm

Revoria is no ordinary range. It comes from Fujifilm – a company with a deep understanding of both offset and digital print, a long history of delivering industry-leading, sustainable print solutions and a culture of honest and open long term partnerships. With an ambitious plan to launch new toner digital presses as part of this range, this is just the beginning.

Stable and reliable production

Stable paper transport

Wide turning angles in the paper path mean that the paper transport is fast and stable. In addition, for 2 sided printing, a vertical paper inversion mechanism reduces curves in the paper path to minimise paper jams. Finally, as the EA-Eco LGK toner fuses at lower temperatures, less impact is caused by the heat generated by the fused paper on the transfer mechanism, minimising paper transport issues.

Air suction feeder with enhanced paper handling capabilities

The air suction feeder uses a small amount of air to easily separate and deliver each sheet efficiently. This improves the feed performance of many types of paper, for example paper with a lot of dust, pre-printed paper using powder, paper with an uneven texture, and coated paper that is prone to sticking. In addition, a stable feed is achieved at high speeds for various paper weights, from light to heavyweight, and from small sizes to large.

Continuous mass printing

High capacity feeders and stackers make continuous mass printing possible. In addition, cartridge replacement and paper refills can be done while printing is in progress, with a single high capacity toner cartridge yielding up to 71,500 pages.

No more multifeed and mixed blank pages

The multifeed detection sensor monitors the paper flow to prevent the feeding of multiple sheets of paper. If a multifeed is detected, printing is interrupted to prevent the insertion of a blank page.

Superb, high resolution print quality of 2400 x 2400 dpi

The heart of the printer uses Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers as a light source. They enable printing at an ultra-high resolution of 2400 × 2400 dpi by producing images simultaneously with 32 laser beams.

EA-Eco LGK toner for high image quality

The EA-Eco LGK toner, with extremely small particle sizes of 6.5 microns, allows the reproduction of smooth, fine gradations in photographs, uniform densities and very fine text to be achieved. It also produces easy-to-read printed text with less glare which is also easy on your eyes.

Advanced transfer unit for consistent transport speed

Designed to prevent fluctuations in paper transport speed, the stable drive speed of the transfer belt has been achieved by increasing the roll diameter, along with the automatic adjustment of contact pressure between transfer belt and drum. These measures ensure consistent transfer speeds of all paper types.

Ultra-high precision registration

Image Registration Control Technology (IReCT) precisely measures the position of sheets running at high speeds, and produces real time corrections to the poor registration of printed images or distortion on each sheet to ensure the highest possible quality.

Maintain print quality with easy adjustments

To maintain print quality, easy adjustments can be made with the Simple Image Quality Adjustment (SIQA) process by just printing and scanning the calibration chart. This ensures consistent print quality with properly adjusted print position, perpendicularity, skew and magnification on both the front and back sides.

Edge enhancements improve image quality

Higher image quality has been implemented with ‘Edge Enhancement’ technology that fixes the jaggedness on the edge of thin lines and text outlines, along with ‘Adjust Invert Text/Line Weight’ technology that fixes thickened/blurred text.

A wider variety of screening choices

Various screen settings, including an FM screen that suppresses moire, are are now available.

Flexible and versatile media handling

A wide range of paper weights, feeding options and finishing systems ensure the most versatile production.

Media handling capabilities

The Revoria E1 Series can handle a wide range of paper weights from lightweight paper of 52 gsm to heavyweight paper of 350 gsm. The upper limit of heavyweight paper has been extended thanks to the paper path design, and by employing a control mechanism that automatically switches fusing roll pressure between two levels. Fine control has also been achieved to extend the range of supported coated and speciality papers.

Paper sizes ranging from A6 to 330.2 × 488 mm are available. Full bleed printing on SRA3 (320 × 450mm) sheets is also possible to create brochures or leaflets that need to have bleed. In addition, banner printing on long paper of up to 660.4 mm is also available. This means new print applications such as powerful panoramic posters are now possible.

Printing with the correct settings for each media type

Up to 100 paper types can be registered with ‘Custom Paper Settings’. This allows configuration settings such as the alignment, fold position and fusing temperature to be set according to the paper being used, to maximise image quality.

Flexible feeding and finishing options

A wide range of feeding and finishing options make it possible to build flexible printing systems that allow many different types of printed brochures to be produced inline. Supported options include cover insertion, three-sided trim, and saddle stapled booklets with square back.

Advanced software

The Revoria E1 Series incorporates advanced software and server infrastructure to support high speed, high quality production.

Image data processing to maximise print engine performance

The advanced print server delivers high speeds and superb image quality by utilising image processing technologies cultivated in the development of colour production printers. High resolution and smooth screen images of 2400 x 2400 dpi are generated on the device with Fujifilm’s unique HQ digital screen technologies.

In addition, our unique intermediate data format streamlines RIP processing. In conventional RIP processing, calculations take a long time due to the large data volumes. However, Fujifilm’s new RIP process algorithms automatically identify objects such as text and images, and process them in the right format, greatly reducing the processing time without degrading image quality.

High speed, large volume printing of variable data

The high speed, large volume printing of personalised documents, including direct mail, bills, statements, etc., is made possible by using industry standard PPML, PDF/VT-1, and PDF/VT-2 languages for variable data printing.

Important print data provided by customers can be protected from data breaches by being securely erased from the print server so that the data cannot be recovered even with data recovery software. In addition, data in the printer can be encrypted or securely erased to prevent unauthorised access.

Support for Adobe® PDF Print Engine

The Adobe® PDF Print Engine directly rips PDF data. Even a PDF file with transparency or layers can be processed, and blur, drop shadow and glow effects can be used with ease.

JDF workflow

JDF, which is a communication and protocol standard in the printing industry, is supported. This means that it is possible to integrate the E1 Series printers into production workflow systems to build a hybrid workflow for both offset and digital printing.

An advanced new Revoria digital press from Fujifilm

Revoria is no ordinary range. It comes from Fujifilm – a company with a deep understanding of both offset and digital print, a long history of delivering industry-leading, sustainable print solutions and a culture of honest and open long term partnerships. With an ambitious plan to launch new toner digital presses as part of this range, this is just the beginning.

Fire your imagination with six colours

Imagine up to six colour stations online at the same time with speciality toners that can include white, gold, silver, clear, pink, and textured finishes. Then add the possibility of printing one of each both before and after CMYK laydown for an infinite number of creative possibilities. The Revoria Press PC1120 is the only press that can offer such flexibility with the minimum of fuss and downtime. Other platforms require multiple passes through the press and swapping colours between stations to achieve the same output.

Defining a new standard of print quality for a toner press

Precision toner for clarity and definition

Super EA-Eco toner* also has one of the smallest toner particle sizes in the world. This makes it possible to reproduce small characters and thin lines more sharply, render halftones and gradients with less graininess, and reproduce dot shapes more faithfully, delivering superior print quality.

* All toners except white are EA-Eco toners

Smooth gradation correction

Super smooth gradation with 1200 x 1200 dpi and 10-bit processing, 4 times greater than before, allows smoother, sharper, clearer quality to be produced than ever before.

Edge enhancement improves ability to print fine lines and text

Smoothing on the edge of an image corrects jaggedness of halftone lines and text.

Feeding and finishing for whatever job comes next

The Revoria Press PC1120 can be configured with a unique combination of feeding options including a new air suction feeder that is also available for feeding banner sheets up to 1.2m. A range of folding, trimming and booklet making options are now supplemented by a new static eliminator, essential for handling films and other synthetic media. With such a comprehensive range of options, the Revoria Press PC1120 can be configured with just the right options for a specific project or expanded to take on whatever type of job comes next.

New Static Eliminator module keeps synthetic media moving

Adding white to the Revoria Press PC1120 opens up the potential to print on films for stickers, labels, window graphics and very light stocks. Without the efficient removal of static build up after the fusing process, synthetic sheets can stick together, making them difficult to handle. The new Static Eliminator module makes finishing easier and more reliable, using a two stage process that can be adjusted precisely to suit the media, including some papers, that would otherwise be hard to process.

New Air Suction Feeder handles banners too

Accurate and reliable paper feeding of a range of paper types and even difficult substrates is a must for an efficient print on demand environment. The Revoria Press PC1120 Air /Suction Feeder is an offset-like feeding mechanism that adds a new level of control for light weight to heavy weight paper, small or large, even banner sized sheets. The shuttle head transport draws up the paper and separates sheets that would normally be prone to sticking.

Revoria Flow PC21 – Fujifilm’s advanced imaging software

There are no extra cost modules to purchase with Revoria Flow print server – everything you need to produce and manage stunning print is included: unlimited remote clients, a powerful imposition editor, advanced colour management, spot colour matching, document composition tools, preflight reports, a raster image viewer, and a production timeline view are just some of the features.

Unique AI based photo quality optimisation

Revoria Flow PC21 allows you to automatically improve and optimise supplied images. The optimisation process uses AI built from Fujifilm’s many years of photography and imaging knowledge to identify and adjust specific scenes automatically. Even poor quality images that are too dark, too bright, backlit, or with poor skin or sky colours, can be automatically corrected and printed beautifully.

Fiery PC11 – Designed to help maintain colour quality

 

Add value to your prints

The Fiery PC11 software makes it easy to take advantage of the power of the PC1120’s 6 colour capability to deliver premium print effects. The Fiery Smart Estimator also estimates speciality toner costs before having to print a single page.

 

Automatic PDF Enhancement

Fiery Jobexpert™ is a new technology that analyses incoming PDF files and dynamically chooses the optimalprint settings to achieve the highest quality white optimising processing time.

Typically, it would be difficult to achieve a small run order of special colours, but with the Revoria PC1120, we are now able to do just that. All of our customers have been amazed with the quality and turnaround times.

A secure investment in a proven fourth generation digital printing system

With over 250 installations worldwide, the Jet Press 750S High Speed Model features Fujifilm’s Samba printheads, which power some of the leading digital systems on the market, and benefits from over 10 years of evolutionary development.

A new standard in digital print quality

The Jet Press 750S High Speed Model takes the print quality produced by a digital printing system to new heights thanks to a combination of fundamental Fujifilm technologies. The end result is stunning, vibrant colours, superb skin tones, extraordinary fine text and line detail, and incredible flat tints, all produced on standard coated or uncoated offset paper.

However, the perception of print quality is not only limited to the technical specifications. There is a tactile, emotional and physical element to a piece of high quality print that sets it apart. The Jet Press is the only digital press that delivers on both the technical and the intangible qualities that buyers of offset print are so used to, setting it apart from any other press.

In many cases, Jet Press owners end up printing more on the press as their customers love the quality so much, they specify their work to be printed only on the Jet Press.

Groundbreaking productivity up to 5,400 sheets / hr

With a productivity of 3,600 sheets per hour in High Quality mode and 5,400 sheets per hour in High Performance mode, the Jet Press 750S High Speed Model is quite simply the fastest 4 colour, B2 sheetfed inkjet digital press available.

This means the Jet Press allows you to take on more work and get more sheets on the floor than with multiple other digital presses. So if you produce a lot of short or medium run print, the Jet Press will revolutionise your business, improve the service you offer your customers and enhance your competitive edge.

And as the Jet Press is upgradeable, you could start with the Jet Press 750S Standard Model, and upgrade to the High Speed Model as your business evolves, giving you the ultimate flexibility.

Overall productivity is governed by more than just the top-line press speed. Job productivity can be defined as the combined effect of the following:

1. Pre-press preparation

The Jet Press 750S High Speed Model eliminates all the preparation and set-up time of an offset press. There are no plates to produce, no platesetters or processors to maintain, no make readies, no run up to colour, no waste sheets and virtually no pressroom consumables. It operates in the most efficient way possible – just send the PDF to the press and print.

2. Press up-time

The second element critical in determining overall press productivity is the up-time or time the press is available to print. The up-time of the Jet Press 750S High Speed Model is unprecedented for a digital press, with reliability figures comparable to an offset press, as it is built on an offset chassis with ultra-reliable paper handling technologies, combined with next generation Samba printheads. Up-time figures above 90% are typically quoted by current Jet Press customers.

3. Press print speed

The Jet Press 750S High Speed Model is able to transition between 3,600 sph High Quality mode at 1,200 x1,200 dpi and 5,400 sph High Performance mode at 1,200 x 600 dpi incredibly quickly. It is the first digital press to offer a practical digital alternative that challenges the capabilities of offset to produce a broad range of print affordably and at comparable speeds.

4. On the floor productivity

The final element that determines productivity is the time required to take the printed sheets and finish them. The Jet Press 750S High Speed Model has a number of features that help optimise this process.

Collated printing: Whatever the application, the Jet Press can print all sheets in collated order, removing the need to handle stacks of different sections.

Optimised sheet dryness: Due to the new drying mechanism, more print jobs emerge from the press dry. With the wide variety of paper types and thicknesses that can be printed using the Jet Press, the new drying system means more types of paper and more print jobs are dry when they emerge from the press.

Full speed, double-sided variable data handling

One of the major advantages of the Jet Press 750S High Speed Model is its ability to handle variable data, with the press using a barcode system to guarantee front and back page matching. The barcode is printed in the non-image area of every sheet immediately after the paper leaves the input sheet stacker. Once the first side has been printed, the sheets are turned over and loaded into the sheet stacker once again.


The press reads the barcode on every sheet as it leaves the stacker and downloads the correct page information before it prints the second side (in less than two seconds), guaranteeing front and back page matching.

The benefits of this capability extend beyond the obvious application of variable data personalisation. Jobs can also be printed ‘collated’ in page order to simplify and speed up the finishing process or improve the logistics for job distribution, making the production of versioned print jobs simple and straightforward.

Exceptional environmental performance

There are a number of significant environmental benefits with the Jet Press 750S High Speed Model. These include a reduction in raw materials, hazardous pressroom consumables and paper waste, along with the complete elimination of the plate production process. All these benefits mean that the Jet Press has a much lower carbon footprint than an equivalent offset press.

Reduction in raw materials and paper waste: The advantage of digital print in terms of optimising the number of printed copies produced and minimising the over-runs is a key benefit of the Jet Press. In addition, the number of make readies is also considerably reduced. On some short-run jobs on older traditional sheet-fed presses, the number of make ready sheets can represent a significant percentage of the total run, up to 25% in some cases. This problem is eliminated with the Jet Press as the make ready waste is virtually zero.

Elimination of plate production, water and waste: The Jet Press eliminates all the elements involved in the production of plates. This includes the plates, platesetters, processors and associated chemistry, water and waste. Each one of these elements of a plate production system has a significant carbon footprint in terms of its life cycle, from design, manufacture, transport and use to eventual disposal.

Reduction of hazardous pressroom consumables: The Jet Press also removes the need for a number of the pressroom consumables used on a typical offset press, for example founts, sprays and potentially harmful VOC washes, and of course significantly reduces the requirement for water. The Jet Press requires only two consumables in addition to the water-based ink: a wash for the inkjet printheads and the Rapid Coagulation Primer solution applied to the paper prior to printing.

Lower carbon footprint: Fujifilm carries out a life cycle carbon footprint analysis for all the products it manufactures, a process which takes into account product design, manufacture, transport, use and eventual disposal. As a result, the company estimates that the carbon footprint of the Jet Press 750S High Speed Model compared to an equivalent B2 sheet-fed press (internal estimate) is approximately 25% less.

Sheets can be easily recycled: The environmental performance of the Jet Press 750S High Speed Model is further enhanced by the ability of sheets printed by the press to be easily recycled. With normal water-based inks, ink pigments can sink into the structure of the paper, making them much more difficult to deink. The VIVIDIA HS ink pigments used on the Jet Press do not sink into the structure of the paper, making them much easier to remove during the deinking and recycling process. The use of the Rapid Coagulation Primer in High Quality mode enhances deinkability even further.

Normal water based inks

Jet Press in High Quality mode

Excellent versatility to print on a variety of substrates

Print on standard coated & uncoated offset paper: The Jet Press 750S High Speed Model is unlike many other digital presses in that it can use an assortment of standard offset paper, removing the need to use specialised coated digital paper on many occasions. This means, for example, that a printer can take advantage of current paper stocks, simplifying inventory and reducing costs. But it also means that jobs printed on the Jet Press are potentially more cost-effective than those printed on other digital presses, as the paper is less expensive.

Finishing solutions: Jet Press printed sheets have been tested and found to be compatible with a wide range of analogue and digital coating, foiling, lamination and cutting solutions. An automatic bridge is also available to connect to online coating solutions.

Support for heavier weight folding carton stock: The Jet Press can be modified to accommodate heavier weight folding carton stock from 0.2 – 0.6mm in thickness. This makes it ideal to print short run packaging applications.

Print on 90 micron light-weight stock:

The Jet Press can print on 90 micron standard offset paper, and so is ideal for applications like light-weight fold-out maps or leaflets.

Print on 340 micron heavy-weight stock:

The Jet Press can print on 340 micron stock, and so is ideal for applications like folders and even promotional packaging boxes. For heavier-duty folding carton applications, the press can be modified to take board up to 600 microns thick.

Its capabilities quickly won us over, particularly the excellent quality and the ease of use. We’re an offset print business and now we can offer our customers short run jobs, in B2 format, at the same exceptionally high level of quality they’re used to.

Discover the benefits for yourself

A secure investment in proven LED UV technology

The Acuity platform has been the industry benchmark since 2007 with thousands of machines installed worldwide. The Acuity Ultra R2 features the very latest LED and UV technologies to deliver unbeatable performance, along with the quality and reliability you would expect from Fujifilm.

Exceptional quality in superwide format

With the Acuity Ultra R2, you get the excellent high quality, productivity and reliability our Acuity range is known for, on a massive industrial scale – up to 5 metres wide.

High quality, high performance printheads
3-level greyscale printheads deliver 3.5 pl native drop sizes up to 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution, making use of 2,656 nozzles arranged across a width of 108 mm.

Excellent build quality using industrial-quality components
The chassis is a substantial construction made from welded steel box tubing and solid steel bars, contributing to the 7.7 t and 4.7 t weights of both models. This helps to ensure the printer displays very little vibration and very accurate drop placement.

Linear-driven printhead carriage delivers superb registration
Linear motors ensure smooth edge-to-edge printing with no vibrations at the end of the run to deliver accurate ink drop placements. This means no loss in print quality at the print edge.

Water-cooled vacuum table
A unique chilled vacuum table maintains the substrate temperature while printing and allows the use of thin heat-sensitive substrates, reducing media shrinkage and wrinkling.

Solid media transport system ensures accuracy
Two pairs of rubberised rollers both front and back deliver a consistently accurate media feed and provide consistency over long print runs or when accuracy is needed for tiled applications.

Advanced features to maximise productivity

The Acuity Ultra R2 is equipped with a range of advanced features to maximise uptime and ensure flexible and highly productive printing.

Ink spitting to minimise machine downtime
The Acuity Ultra R2 is fitted with a spit function designed to reduce machine downtime. This maintains the print quality and helps to increase the overall consistency of the printed results

Media crash detectors to prevent printhead damage
The carriage is equipped with media crash detectors on either side. These react to obstructions on the vacuum table to stop the carriage and prevent damage to the printheads.

Auto media thickness and position measurement
The Acuity Ultra R2 is equipped with a media detector mounted on the carriage. This is used to determine the position and thickness of the media.

Mechanical substrate detector
The Acuity Ultra R2 is equipped with media sensors positioned under the rear media tension rollers. The Acuity Ultra R2 5000 is equipped with 3 sensors. The Acuity Ultra R2 3200 is equipped with 2 sensors. The media sensors detect when media is loaded onto the machine, and alert the operator if there is a fault with the media loading, for example if a roll of media has run out, or the media is not tight. The sensors use ultrasonic detection technology, and will work for all media, including clear media.

Long printhead life minimises costs of consumables
With an impressively long life, you won’t have to worry about replacing printheads as often. Combined with low ink consumption, the long printhead life reduces the hassle and costs associated with replacing consumables.

Multi-roll capability maximises productivity for smaller jobs
With a throughput of up to 400 m² per hour, the machine has the potential to produce huge volumes of work when printing on three rolls simultaneously, as well as printing superwide format graphics up to five metres in width.

Designed with the operator in mind
As well as technical enhancements to the Acuity Ultra R2, there is a strong focus to reduce maintenance and improve serviceability for the operator. A new intuitive GUI, smoked Perspex panels allowing the user to view print safely during production, and the integration of clean and dirty working areas to avoid contamination, are all examples of the developments that ultimately save time and money and improve overall price/performance.

High performance Uvijet GS and AU inks from award-winning factory

New, high-density inks deliver superb colour vibrancy and a wide colour gamut. Excellent inter-coat laydown produces solid backlit colours and prints. The inks also do not exhibit cracking when folded due to the low ink build.

Ultra-low ink consumption
The new high-density inks are delivered using 3.5 pl printheads, resulting in a very low film thickness and ultra-low ink consumption, resulting in very low cost-in-use and higher profit per print.

As we branch out from being a wide format materials supplier into hardware, we felt that the ‘superwide’ 5m Acuity Ultra R2 printer would be a perfect fit for our portfolio.
