Drupa will be the launchpad for the 3.2m wide Acuity LED 3200R from Fujifilm. The roll printer builds on the success of the Acuity LED 1600 II UV inkjet printer introduced last year, and the original Acuity LED 1600 that came to market in 2012. It will be commercially available in the middle of this year.
With a top speed of 110m2 per hour (in high speed mode with four-colour CMYK on banner material), the Acuity LED 3200R features eight ink channels as standard (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, light cyan, light magenta, white and clear). Fujifilm’s Uvijet inks enable multi-layer printing, and a clear ink means high gloss spot varnish effects can also be created.
The Acuity LED 3200R will take media weighing up to 100kilo (220lbs) and can handle the printing of two rolls simultaneously.
