With more than 9,000 employees in 20 countries and an annual turnover of more than €1.2 billion, Paragon Group is a major global player in direct mail, transactional print, business outsourcing and packaging. Within that wider business, Paragon Germany employs more than 1,200 employees across eight locations in Germany, Czech Republic and Poland.

Looking to replace legacy inkjet imprinting equipment on a direct mail printing production line in Schwandorf, Germany, the company has turned to Fujifilm and its industry-leading imprinting solutions, installing a pair of one metre wide Fujifilm imprinting bars to print to the front and the reverse of the web.

“There were a number of reasons we went with Fujifilm over rival systems,” explains Bernd Wein, Paragon Operations Director, Direct Mail. “We liked that they fully own all the technologies – the printheads as well as the integration technology. It gives us confidence to be dealing with one partner – a partner that we were confident could offer the service and support we need to ensure ongoing smooth operation and the swift resolution to any problems.

“It’s also proven technology,” Mr Wein continues. “Fujifilm has a long heritage in inkjet, and its imprinting solutions are tried and tested. They’re a strong and respected manufacturer and a financially robust and stable company that we know we can depend on over the long term.

“The fact that Fujifilm acquired Unigraphica in 2022 was also a factor in our investment decision. The combination of Fujifilm and Unigraphica inkjet systems integration expertise was a very attractive proposition.”

“Finally, Fujifilm was also able to provide a bespoke system as large as one metre wide. No one else we spoke to was able to do that. And furthermore, compared with our legacy system, the Fujifilm imprinting system gives us more up-time, shorter set-up times and results in far less waste.”

Stefan Steinle, Sales & Business Development Manager, FUJIFILM Integrated Inkjet Solutions, Europe comments: “We’re delighted that a company of Paragon’s reputation and standing has chosen to invest in Fujifilm inkjet imprinting technology. We look forward to boosting Paragon’s productivity, and reducing its costs for many years to come.”

Key features

Discover more about the advanced technologies and capabilities built into the Revoria Press EC1100.

Highly productive and easy to use

The Revoria Press EC1100 achieves high productivity printing of 100ppm on both coated and uncoated paper up to 300g in weight. Even on heavier weight media between 300g and 400g, a high speed is maintained at 80ppm.

Optional Air Suction Feeder ensures ultra-reliable media handling for all media types

Like an offset feeder, each sheet is picked up and delivered securely by the shuttle head using air suction, improving the paper feeding performance for low quality, textured and coated media.

This system is different to most others on the market, giving ultra-reliable and consistent paper feeding and therefore print performance.

Automation with inline sensor

The Revoria Press EC1100 has an inline sensor which automatically makes adjustments for a number of critical production parameters, including the image-to-media alignment, image transfer, density uniformity and tone reproduction curve.

This saves time, optimises quality and improves the efficiency of production for simple, more reliable operation. This is particularly useful for longer banner paper, which has a tendency to skew or suffer from mis-registration without these automated adjustments.

Optimise print conditions for each paper type with built in media library

Minimise adjustments when setting up print jobs by using pre-registered paper type settings in the media library such as voltage and curl. Alternatively, you can customise the pre-loaded recommended paper list and save up to 1,000 different paper type setting for faster setup.

Auto sheet clearing after paper jam

Significantly reduce the time taken to clear a paper jam with the automated clearing of the remaining paper after a jam. When a paper jam does occur, offset pages are inserted to identify any missing or repeated pages.

Versatile

Handles various media weights from 52g to 400g

Everything from thin folded flyers to thick business cards can be printed. Additionally, not only can it handle heavier weight longer papers (350g up to 660mm, 300g up to 864mm) but the efficient media handling and versatility mean a wide range of customer needs can be met. In addition, high speed envelope printing can be achieved without an additional fuser.

Wide range of paper sizes, along with long banner paper of 1200 mm

The printer supports a wide range of paper sizes, from 148 x 98 mm (smaller than a postcard) up to 1200 x 330mm banner paper. The Multi Sheet Inserter for banner printing can print single-sided long paper from 660 x 330mm up to 1200 x 330mm, depending on the configuration, and duplex long paper up to 864 x330 mm, opening up new application and business opportunities. The Revoria Press EC1100 performs automated alignment adjustments to prevent paper skew or mis-registration which can often occur for longer banner papers to ensure ultra-reliable operation.

 

High quality

10-bit processing and half tone smoothing

10-bit processing results in up to 1024 halftones (instead of 256 with an 8-bit system) meaning extra control and higher quality reproduction can be achieved. In addition, graduation correction is used on images and vector graphics, faithfully reproducing fine tints, gradations of colour and subtle blends between colours. This is especially valuable when printing colour gradients, skin tones and shadows.

2400 dpi resolution and excellent registration

The VCSEL-ROS laser provides 2400 dpi print resolution while the energy-efficient EA-Eco toner* achieves superb results on either coated or uncoated paper to deliver high quality images comparable to offset printing. In addition, the front/back registration of up to 0.5mm (0.8mm from standard trays) ensures high quality duplex printing.

Case study: ApeosPro C Series

Emmerson Press

Case Study

Emmerson Press becomes first UK investor in Fujifilm’s ApeosPro C toner press

Emmerson Press

Kenilworth, UK

ApeosPro C Series

Reading time: 3 minutes

Highlights

  • Emmerson Press, a commercial printer based in Kenilworth, UK, has a history of being a first adopter of Fujifilm printing technology.
  • In 2016, they became the first UK printer to invest in the Jet Press 720S, later upgrading to the Jet Press 750S in 2019.
  • They are the first UK print business to invest in Fujifilm’s newly launched ApeosPro C810 toner press.
  • The decision to invest in the ApeosPro C810 was made after careful research and consultation with Fujifilm representatives.
  • Emmerson Press plans to use the new toner press for a wide range of applications, particularly ultra-short run work with quick turnaround times.
  • The investment is expected to provide a competitive edge, improve cost-efficiency, and complement their existing printing machines.

Emmerson Press, a respected commercial printer based in Kenilworth, UK, has been first before. A Fujifilm plates customer for nearly two decades, in 2016 they became the first printer in the UK to invest in the Jet Press 720S, later upgrading to the Jet Press 750S in 2019. Now, in 2023, they have now become the first UK print business to invest in Fujifilm’s newly launched ApeosPro C810 toner press.

The deal was formally agreed at a Fujifilm event in London’s docklands in May to celebrate the launch of Fujifilm’s toner technologies in the UK.

Jamie Emmerson, Director, Emmerson Press comments: “We had an existing toner machine that had reached end of life and we were looking for a new solution. After looking at the market, the ApeosPro C seemed like an ideal choice. We’d been researching it for some time but had to wait patiently until the official UK launch in April to speak to our Fujifilm representative. Following this conversation, we soon signed the deal. Despite it being newly launched in the UK, we did our homework and, being a long-term Fujifilm partner, we were confident that the technology had been tried and tested. Being the first in the UK to invest in Fujifilm technology once again, marks an exciting time for us and we are confident that this investment will give us a competitive edge.”

“We’ll use it to produce a wide range of additional applications – particularly any ultra-short run work that needs to be turned around instantly. And we’ll also use it as an office printer, which further helps with costs and efficiency. The small format size is very useful and overall, the price point, combined with the quality that can be achieved, makes this a truly exceptional machine that is well worth the investment.

“The ApeosPro C complements our existing machines well. Fujifilm is a trusted partner, who we enjoy working with – and having multiple solutions from one vendor makes things much simpler to manage, and the support from the Fujifilm team is always second to none.”

Martin Fairweather, National Digital Business Development Manager, Fujifilm UK comments: “We’re delighted to be further expanding our partnership with Emmerson Press. Their trust in us as a long-term partner is demonstrated by them becoming the first in the UK to invest in Fujifilm technology once again. Following the official recent ApeosPro C launch earlier this year, we’re excited to continue to drive this momentum forward and Emmerson Press is the perfect company to gain maximum benefits from this technology.”

“Our main market used to be wedding albums, but in recent years we’ve seen the demand for this service decrease. Demand for wedding invitations, however, is still just as strong, so we saw an opportunity to compensate for this loss in wedding album production by entering the wedding invitation space, something which has only been possible with the investment in the Revoria press. It also enables us to print large wedding album covers that we were previously not able to, helping us to expand our product offering and increase our revenue.”

“With the Revoria PC1120, we have launched a new business venture named Studio 6. Under the Studio 6 brand, we print wedding invitations, thank you cards, business cards and special stationery for our customers. We use the PC1120, in combination with other finishing equipment, to offer our customers a range of unique products, using speial colours such as gold and silver varnishes.”

“The designers have been very impressed with the results that can be achieved from the Revoria press, particularly the special colours, textures and different substrates. 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.”

In addition to the special colours, the PC1120 enables us to print on substrates of many thicknesses, sizes and types, including plastic – something that we could not achieve with any comparable press on the market. The machine’s media handling is also particularly impressive.

Tiago Yu | Floricolor

“There are many ongoing challenges in the market, but Fujifilm is always a reliable partner that has enabled us to overcome these challenges and help us to grow. We have immense confidence in them to help us deliver print of the highest standard and we are looking forward to continuing to develop this relationship in the future.”

“I selected a well-known printing company to produce the book,” explains Gisela. “They recommended offset printing to achieve the best quality but, when I reviewed the proofs, the results were disappointing. The grey areas behind the pictures were not of the quality I desired, and for me, the grey areas were crucial, as they represented the atmosphere of mystery I was trying to capture in all those locations. In addition, there was a small white border line around the pictures that had not printed as I’d envisioned, and some printed areas were rough to the touch. Unfortunately, the offset press was simply not able to achieve the result I desired, no matter how many refinements the printer made, so I sadly came to accept that the book would not be able to be present at my exhibition.”

It’s moments like this that are truly rewarding and demonstrate the value that we can provide to customers, in combination with Fujifilm, our long-standing partner.

Henning Rose | Wegner Gmbh

Close to giving up, Gisela’s husband was searching the internet and came across Fujifilm. “I contacted Fujifilm and explained my dilemma.” Gisela continues. “Fujifilm promptly put me in touch with Mr. Rose, CEO of Wegner GmbH. I explained my needs to Mr. Rose, and he reassured me that he could help and offered a test print. I sent him the book files, and to my surprise, he sent back the entire book printed. I was amazed by the result.”

Long-term Fujifilm customer, Henning Rose, CEO of Wegner, turned to the Jet Press 750S to print the sample of the book, which he has had installed since August 2019. He also used the Revoria Press PC1120, installed in March 2022, to print the cover of the book with special effects.

“After some small requested refinements, the final result was better than I could have hoped for.” Gisela continues. “The grey area behind the pictures was even and precise, the small white lines were printed perfectly, and the quality of the photos was excellent and sharp. I was also very impressed with the cover with the soft touch foil.

“I was delighted to have the book available for my exhibition, printed to the high standard I had always wanted. In retrospect, I am grateful that the offset printer was not able to print my book. Otherwise, I would not have been introduced to Fujifilm and Wegner.”

Henning Rose, CEO, Wegner GmbH reflects on the project. “As soon as Gisela came to me with her query, I was confident that we could deliver the results she needed, using the Jet Press and Revoria Press PC1120. The Jet Press was used as it is ideal for the level of quality, precision and attention to detail the book required.

“In addition, the Revoria press was able to achieve the special effects on the cover, thanks to the PC1120’s ability to print metallic colours – an extra touch that Gisela was delighted with. The longer format size of the cover would also not have been possible on any other press. We are glad we invested in both the Jet Press and the Revoria, which together made this project possible.

“It was a pleasure to work with Gisela on this project and we were glad that we could help bring her vision to life, and that she did not have to give up on this project. It’s moments like this that are truly rewarding and demonstrate the value that we can provide to customers, in combination with Fujifilm, our long-standing partner.”

Key features

Discover more about the advanced technologies and capabilities built into the Revoria Press EC1100.

Highly productive and easy to use

The Revoria Press EC1100 achieves high productivity printing of 100ppm on both coated and uncoated paper up to 300g in weight. Even on heavier weight media between 300g and 400g, a high speed is maintained at 80ppm.

Optional Air Suction Feeder ensures ultra-reliable media handling for all media types

Like an offset feeder, each sheet is picked up and delivered securely by the shuttle head using air suction, improving the paper feeding performance for low quality, textured and coated media.

This system is different to most others on the market, giving ultra-reliable and consistent paper feeding and therefore print performance.

Automation with inline sensor

The Revoria Press EC1100 has an inline sensor which automatically makes adjustments for a number of critical production parameters, including the image-to-media alignment, image transfer, density uniformity and tone reproduction curve.

This saves time, optimises quality and improves the efficiency of production for simple, more reliable operation. This is particularly useful for longer banner paper, which has a tendency to skew or suffer from mis-registration without these automated adjustments.

Optimise print conditions for each paper type with built in media library

Minimise adjustments when setting up print jobs by using pre-registered paper type settings in the media library such as voltage and curl. Alternatively, you can customise the pre-loaded recommended paper list and save up to 1,000 different paper type setting for faster setup.

Auto sheet clearing after paper jam

Significantly reduce the time taken to clear a paper jam with the automated clearing of the remaining paper after a jam. When a paper jam does occur, offset pages are inserted to identify any missing or repeated pages.

Versatile

Handles various media weights from 52g to 400g

Everything from thin folded flyers to thick business cards can be printed. Additionally, not only can it handle heavier weight longer papers (350g up to 660mm, 300g up to 864mm) but the efficient media handling and versatility mean a wide range of customer needs can be met. In addition, high speed envelope printing can be achieved without an additional fuser.

Wide range of paper sizes, along with long banner paper of 1200 mm

The printer supports a wide range of paper sizes, from 148 x 98 mm (smaller than a postcard) up to 1200 x 330mm banner paper. The Multi Sheet Inserter for banner printing can print single-sided long paper from 660 x 330mm up to 1200 x 330mm, depending on the configuration, and duplex long paper up to 864 x330 mm, opening up new application and business opportunities. The Revoria Press EC1100 performs automated alignment adjustments to prevent paper skew or mis-registration which can often occur for longer banner papers to ensure ultra-reliable operation.

 

High quality

10-bit processing and half tone smoothing

10-bit processing results in up to 1024 halftones (instead of 256 with an 8-bit system) meaning extra control and higher quality reproduction can be achieved. In addition, graduation correction is used on images and vector graphics, faithfully reproducing fine tints, gradations of colour and subtle blends between colours. This is especially valuable when printing colour gradients, skin tones and shadows.

2400 dpi resolution and excellent registration

The VCSEL-ROS laser provides 2400 dpi print resolution while the energy-efficient EA-Eco toner* achieves superb results on either coated or uncoated paper to deliver high quality images comparable to offset printing. In addition, the front/back registration of up to 0.5mm (0.8mm from standard trays) ensures high quality duplex printing.

Reading time: 2 minutes

Where does print fit in the circular economy?

From books, newspapers, magazines and brochures to folders, annual reports and packaging, print remains a vital and highly effective branding, marketing and communications tool. But in an age of heightened environmental concern and ‘net zero’ carbon reduction targets, how can print be used in the most efficient and responsible way? In this white paper, we take a look at how the latest digital printing technology is dramatically cutting waste and making recycling much easier.

We must do more

As part of the “European Green Deal” project, there is an action plan for the EU to boost the efficient use of resources by moving to a clean, circular economy, restore biodiversity and cut pollution, and be climate neutral by 2050. To achieve this goal, action must be taken at all levels. Switching to renewable energy will, on its own, reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by only 55%. The remaining 45% of emissions come from the way we make and use products, which means working smarter and wasting less.

Fujifilm is committed to fully integrating print into the circular economy. Net zero doesn’t have to mean online only – print will always have a vital role to play, and we’re committed to making sure it can always play that role efficiently, effectively and sustainably.

The way we print is changing

The graphics industry has many analogue techniques which, especially when used for bespoke or short run work, have an enormous impact on the environment.

Now, thanks to the latest developments in digital print technology, there are machines which can print while also:

• Massively reducing raw material use
• Using fewer and more sustainable consumables
• Needing far fewer parts replacing
• Producing less waste
• Consuming less water
• Producing 100% recyclable printed products

This technology is moving print from the linear to the circular economy in which everyone has a role to play in keeping our planet liveable and our prosperity intact.
