Fujifilm South Africa in conjunction with its Nigerian partners – Icon Bluepoint and Vision in Print recently exposes its latest UV large format printer – Acuity LED II at an Open House in Lagos.
WHERE To Print gathered that the Acuity LED 1600 II unique features incorporate the following:
• Two or three-layer one-pass printing: simultaneous two or three-layer printing with colour, white and clear inks provides the ability to produce high value creative prints. Print colour-white-colour layers in one pass for two-sided images on transparent materials.
• Emboss effect: LED UV cures the ink instantly so there is no need to wait for the print to dry before finishing or shipping. This technology enables you to print multiple layers: you can print an imaged raised up to nine times
• Heat sensitive materials: LED UV lamps use a fraction of the energy of conventional curing systems, which means you can work with heat-sensitive media without deformation, saving you money on power consumption and substrates.
• Added value with clear and white inks: clear ink offers the luxury to highlight or enhance print with high-gloss spot finishes. High density white ink can be used to produce creative effects on clear and coloured media. Colours, white and clear inks can be printed simultaneously.
• Print directly on to roll or rigid: quick switch between roll and rigid printing. Flatbed feed and receive tables are used for printing rigid media. It supports substrates up to 1610mm wide and can print on rigid sheet substrates up to 13mm thick.
• Print on coloured materials: high density white ink and multiple layer print enables Acuity LED 1600 II users to print vibrant images on a wide range of coloured substrates and achieve high value special effects.
