Fujifilm uses important annual partner event (taking place 19-21 May) to showcase new special toners for its recently launched Revoria mid-range models, as well as a new performance enhancing feature for the ApeosPro C Series
Fujifilm Europe has announced that it is introducing white and silver toners for its Revoria SC285S and Revoria EC2100S models, and showcased them as a technology demonstration at its partner event in Madrid. The new mid-range devices were launched in January this year with three special toners initially available – pink, clear, and toner for textured stock.
Mark Lawn, head of POD (Print-on-demand) solutions, Fujifilm EMEA says, “Our vision in launching the Revoria mid-range presses was to make special toners, and 5-color printing, accessible to a larger market than ever before. Four months on from their initial launch, many print businesses in Europe are already experiencing those benefits. Now, the addition of white and silver will provide massive additional benefits, both to those who have already invested, as well as those who invest in one of these devices in the future.
“White toner opens up a huge range of exciting possibilities for printing to transparent media, or to darker paper and board,” Lawn continues. “While silver toner, aside from producing eye-catching visual effects, can also be mixed with other colors to produce a stunning range of new colors.”
In addition to the new toners for the Revoria mid-range devices, Fujifilm is also introducing, as a technology demonstration, the GP (Graphic Print) Controller D02, an important new feature to further optimise both image quality, and device performance in the ApeosPro C Series of toner presses.
Featuring 1,200 × 1,200 dpi high-resolution RIP processing, and 10-bit depth, the GP Controller ensures beautifully reproduced text, thin lines, and gradations, and 3D calibration meanwhile, allows for color adjustment, not only of CMYK single colors, but also for mixed colors. Furthermore, when it comes to photographic images, GP Controller uses an AI-assisted optimization process, built from decades of Fujifilm photography and imaging expertise, to identify and adjust specific scenes automatically. Even poor-quality images that are too dark, too bright, backlit, or with poor skin or sky colors, can be automatically corrected, ensuring every image is printed beautifully
As well as enhancing quality, the GP Controller also boosts productivity, with a heavy duty RIP function that features high-speed processing for high quality or variable data print jobs. Included as standard with the RIP accelerator board, it delivers high-speed performance beyond the physical specifications of the server.
Easy to use, with the drag and drop of jobs during preview tasks like imposition or merging, GP Controller supports the industry standard Adobe® PDF Print Engine 5.0 and comes with industry standard JDF format for higher-level systems integration, post-processing systems, or even building a hybrid-system with offset-printing.
Mark Lawn concludes, “We’re committed to continual innovation, to helping customers Discover the Difference and ultimately make more with Fujifilm. I’m proud that so many customers choose Fujifilm not just for what it offers today, but because they trust where it’s going. Announcing new products is always exciting, but the real reward is seeing how our customers use them to do more. And we’re only just getting started.”
