Are you a commercial printer thinking of moving into wide-format printing? Then this entry-level Acuity LED 1600R UV inkjet could be the perfect roll to roll printer for you. Newly released, this lower cost Acuity inkjet should be affordable to many printers.
Fujifilm after researching the market have optimised the Acuity LED 1600R, with Dimatix Q-class industrial print heads, for four-colour CYMK roll-to-roll printing along with the qualities and performance of the Acuity LED 1600 II hybrid model, realised in 2015.
Offer Price *£24,995 - includes Colourgate RIP & Dell PC. It comes complete with installation, full training & 6 months warranty.
*Limited time offer - to the first 10 machines sold in the UK
Built to produce exceptional print results for a printer in this price range, in an environmentally friendly way, with low energy LED UV curing using LED lamps that consume less energy than conventional UV and last up to ten times longer. And with no drying time required, sheets come off the printer ready to be finished and despatched.
The Acuity LED 1600R uses Dimatix Q-class industrial printheads, and offers four channels as standard. The 1.6m-wide machine can print at up to 33sqm/hr, matching the speed of the earlier Acuity LED 1600 II.
Able to work with rolls of up to 40kg, which is 15kg more than the 1600 II can handle, allowing printers to achieve longer, uninterrupted print runs.
The printer features a high-density mode capable of handling heat-sensitive roll media and is suitable for producing backlit and window applications.
It produces low levels of heat and more importantly uses lower ink volumes and less power than other machines on the market. Other benefits include - instant start-up, long-life LED UV lamps, no ozone or VOC emissions and requires only one consumable, ink!
Details
The latest addition to Fujifilm's Acuity range offers customers a flexible, lower cost alternative to its successful Acuity LED 1600 II printer.
This accessible, dedicated roll-to-roll printer is optimised for four-colour CYMK printing, but otherwise shares all the benefits in quality and performance of the highly successful Acuity LED 1600 II hybrid model. Featuring Dimatix Q-class industrial print heads, the Acuity LED 1600R offers four channels, with the option of a modular upgrade in the field up to eight channels. It features a high density mode capable of handling heat-sensitive roll media while printing stunning, vibrant displays - making it suitable for backlit and window applications. Like the Acuity LED 1600 II, it offers excellent productivity of up to 33m² per hour.
Producing low levels of heat and requiring lower ink volumes and less power than similar machines on the market, the newest member of the Acuity range has instant start-up, long-life LED UV lamps, no ozone or VOC emissions and only one consumable - the ink.
The ink is the new Uvijet RL ink range which is available in CMYK and CMYK plus light cyan and light magenta. A modular upgrade option to include white is available, with an option for up to eight channels to include clear ink, also being added later in the year. Designed for roll media, Uvijet RL is manufactured by Fujifilm Specialty Ink Systems in the UK, and combined with the 1600R's Fujifilm patented LED curing system and Dimatix print heads, it delivers near-photographic print quality at an impressive speed.
