Features Printing Wide-format Inkjet
FujiFilm Introduces Acuity Select 20 Series

FujiFilm North America Corporation, Graphic Systems Division, will launch its new Acuity Select 20 Series of wide-format systems in early March at the upcoming FESPA trade show in Europe.

Introduced as a replacement to the existing Acuity Advance Select series, the new UV flatbed printer series reaches print speeds of up to 362 square feet per hour (33.6 square metres) working with substrates of up to 2 inches thick (50.8 mm).

Acuity Select 20 Series also now includes the option of using light cyan and light magenta, aimed at reproducing fine art or photographic images. As well, Fujifilm explains the addition of a pneumatic pin registration system delivers easier media loading, while new UV lamp technology allows for thinner media to be printed. The Select 20 Series is also available with an optional automated printhead maintenance system.

Acuity Select 20 Series now features what Fujifilm describes as an improved high-pressure vacuum system, designed to reduce the need for masking of the bed for easy loading of media. It will also be available in both the standard 98.4 x 49.2 inch (2.5 x 1.25 metre) and X2, 98.4 x 121.3 inches (2.5 x 3.08 metre) print-bed sizes, with a roll option available for both.
