Fujifilm announces new Acuity LED 3200R LED UV

Print Solutions

Fujifilm has announced an addition to its Acuity LED wide format inkjet printer portfolio, with the launch of the new Acuity LED 3200R. Offering a maximum print width of 3.2 metres, the Acuity LED 3200R features the range's superb quality and productivity, and will be shown for the first time at drupa on stand A25, hall 8b.

The new roll printer builds on the success of the versatile Acuity LED 1600 II UV, launched in 2015 and the original 1600, introduced in 2012, both of which have gained wide market acceptance thanks to their ultra high quality, application flexibility and ability to print on a wide range of roll and rigid media. The 3200R is set to build on the success of this range by extending the print width and further increasing print speeds.

With a top speed of 110 m2 per hour, the printer satisfies customer demands for faster job turnarounds and lower output costs, whilst retaining the print quality that has come to be expected of the Acuity LED 1600 series. The printer features eight ink channels as standard (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, light cyan, light magenta, white and clear) and utilises Fujifilm's renowned Uvijet ink range to reproduce an incredibly wide range of colours with smooth gradations, while ensuring superb ink adhesion to a wide range of substrates. The Acuity LED 3200R produces consistent vibrant colours with a high degree of opacity for optimal results in day/night applications. Instant curing UV inks enable multi-layer printing that reproduces high quality designs with two layer or three layer printing. The addition of a clear ink means high gloss spot varnish effects can also be created, enabling sign and display printers to produce real added value print.

The 3200R will take media weighing up to 100 kilos and can handle the printing of two rolls simultaneously, boosting productivity as two different images can be printed at the same time.

Mike Battersby, marketing manager at Fujifilm Speciality Ink Systems, commented: ‘Our Acuity LED 1600 series has proved hugely successful due to its unique combination of quality, speed and versatility. We are delighted to be able to announce an additional model in the range, the Acuity LED 3200R, as it means we can provide an even wider choice of options to our customers. We look forward to demonstrating the wide range of added value print that this new printer can produce at drupa.’

The Acuity LED 3200R will be commercially available in the middle of 2016.
