Ipex News Room - Fujifilm Press releases

First European demonstration of the Jet Press 720 draws in huge crowds

Fujifilm today announces that Ipex 2010 has proved to be a resounding success, with a record number of sales and leads taken at the show. The Fujifilm stand was buzzing for the duration of the show as the Jet Press 720 presentations drew in huge crowds and real interest from a large number of printers.

Noel Tatt, suppliers of greeting cards for all occasions, and Impress Publishing, a leading supplier of Christmas cards and printed products to the charity market, has signed an order for a second Xerox® 700 digital press on the Fujifilm stand at Ipex.

Magazine printer, Buxton Press, winner of PrintWeek’s prestigious Printing Company of the Year award, has today signed for what will be Europe’s largest installation of Fujifilm’s XMF cross-media workflow.  Confirmed today on the Fujifilm stand at Ipex 2010, Buxton will install the entire suite of XMF solutions, including the online job submission and proofing module, XMF Remote, to handle in excess of 500,000 PDF magazine pages it processes each year. 

Fujifilm’s ground-breaking B2 sheet-fed digital inkjet press, the Jet Press 720, can be seen in action for the first time in Europe on its stand 9-CD360 at Ipex. Visitors to the show can see the press at any one of five presentations being delivered during the day, during which time the Jet Press 720 will be printing live.

Visitors to Fujifilm’s Ipex stand (9-CD360) will notice the ‘euromedia experience’ area taking a prominent and colourful position. This interactive area is equipped with a full-size work-bench and a ‘test-drive’ wall, allowing visitors to get hands-on with dozens of types of print media and their various applications.

Fujifilm is offering visitors to its stand at Ipex (9-CD360) a complete integrated production experience. From submission of artwork through to plate production and printing via both offset and digital technologies, Fujifilm is demonstrating how this combination of technologies can help printers manage integrated production in the most efficient way, provide the perfect platform for generating new business and give them the power to succeed.

Fujifilm today announces that it is launching two new plates at Ipex, both of which will sit within its low-chemistry family. The Brillia HD LH-PLE plate and the Brillia HD LH-NI3 plate are both compatible with the company’s intelligent FLH-Z ‘ZAC’ processor and will offer printers more options to make both environmental and cost savings.

Fujifilm is pleased to announce the results of Jet Press 720 deinking trials carried out by the International Association of the Deinking Industry (INGEDE).  The recent trials achieved levels of deinking previously unseen with inkjet print, and represent a milestone in the ability to remove the ink from an inkjet sheet.

At Ipex 2010, Fujifilm is demonstrating how its technologies, solutions and sound business advice will give printers of all shapes and sizes the ‘power to succeed’ in today’s tough economic climate, and invites them to come to its stand (9-CD360) to see its comprehensive range of products in action.
