Fujifilm India held a launch event on 7 December for its Revoria Press PC 1120 in India at its India Distributor, Insight Print Communications premises in Faridabad in the Delhi NCR. The high-end digital press can print up to 6 colors simultaneously with the two extra colors beyond the standard CMYK. There are six extra colors inks or toners which means that a great number of special effects can be created accurately. The Revoria is now available for sale in India and customers are welcome for demonstrations at the Fujifilm Demo center located in Faridabad.
The Revoria print engine can print at 120 pages a minute on media from 52 gsm to 400 gsm. It can print on substrates including colored, clear, transparent, photo media and label stock, metallic, and textured paper. Cartons, textile tags, security printing, can also be produced. The print resolution at 2400 x 2400 dpi implies high quality.
Revoria – revolutionizing the digital printing arena
The one-pass, 6-color print engine, prints CMYK plus two special toners such as gold, silver, clear, white, pink, and textured. These combinations are claimed to enable high-end print applications such as metallic colors, pop-ups, labels, natural skin texture on non-white and clear substrates, to produce high-end invitation cards and photographs apart from standard commercial print applications.
The Revoria’s Super EA-Eco toner is claimed to have the smallest toner particle size in the industry. These can be combined in overlays and underlays for a variety of metallic shades. The press can handle and print on films and metallic substrates because it has a unique technology for the removal of static electricity.
Fujifilm’s Revoria automatically divides the image data into five colors – cyan, magenta, yellow, black (CMYK), and pink. The fluorescence of the pink toner expands the color gamut significantly, helping natural images, with smoother skin tones. The company says that it could open up the cosmetics industry with precise colors and tones of red, pink, magenta, and orange.
Claimed by the company to provide value for money, the Revoria features an air suction feeder and static removal device. Additionally, Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables automatic image correction for photo images. Each photo image is automatically enhanced with attention to skin tones and blue skies.

Photo IPPAjay Aggarwal, managing director of Insight Print Communications commented on Revoria’s versatility, “You can use your imagination to use all these colors and give a very high-end output to your customers. This is a designer’s press – all he has to do is open up his creativity and he can do wonders with this machine.
“Till now the labels being printed digitally were mainly CMYK, which means that they were printed primarily on white substrates, but with this press, we open up the label industry to print on transparent substrates to produce pressure-sensitive labels.

To support printing companies in their expansion and increase productivity with new applications, the Revoria Flow software contains built-in AI for improving the photographs, an imposition that saves media and improves productivity.
