Where does print fit in the circular economy?

From books, newspapers, magazines and brochures to folders, annual reports and packaging, print remains a vital and highly effective branding, marketing and communications tool. But in an age of heightened environmental concern and ‘net zero’ carbon reduction targets, how can print be used in the most efficient and responsible way? In this white paper, we take a look at how the latest digital printing technology is dramatically cutting waste and making recycling much easier.

We must do more

As part of the “European Green Deal” project, there is an action plan for the EU to boost the efficient use of resources by moving to a clean, circular economy, restore biodiversity and cut pollution, and be climate neutral by 2050. To achieve this goal, action must be taken at all levels. Switching to renewable energy will, on its own, reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by only 55%. The remaining 45% of emissions come from the way we make and use products, which means working smarter and wasting less.

Fujifilm is committed to fully integrating print into the circular economy. Net zero doesn’t have to mean online only – print will always have a vital role to play, and we’re committed to making sure it can always play that role efficiently, effectively and sustainably.

The way we print is changing

The graphics industry has many analogue techniques which, especially when used for bespoke or short run work, have an enormous impact on the environment.

Now, thanks to the latest developments in digital print technology, there are machines which can print while also:

• Massively reducing raw material use
• Using fewer and more sustainable consumables
• Needing far fewer parts replacing
• Producing less waste
• Consuming less water
• Producing 100% recyclable printed products

This technology is moving print from the linear to the circular economy in which everyone has a role to play in keeping our planet liveable and our prosperity intact.

Case Study: PLATESENSE

Typecast Colour

Case Study

Print and design company Typecast Colour benefits from cost savings and quality improvements thanks to Fujifilm’s PLATESENSE Printing Plate programme

Typecast Colour

Kent, UK

PLATESENSE

The press operators love the Fujifilm plates – they’re cleaner, more durable and deliver better print quality due to a sharper dot on the plate.”

Chris Stainton | Typecast Colour

Highlights

  • Annual turnover of £1m in commercial print and reprographic sales
  • Founded in 1980, Typecast has had a long-standing relationship with litho print specialist, Principal Colour, since 1997
  • First UK PLATESENSE Printing Plates customer, following 15 years with previous plate supplier
  • Services a wide range of clients, from publishers and design agencies to end users
  • Became aware of PLATESENSE and Superia plates at Fujifilm’s UK showroom in Bedford
  • Enjoyed a seamless transition onto Fujifilm’s Superia plates.

Typecast produces a wide range of commercial print using both offset and digital equipment. The company services a range of clients from publishers and design agencies to end users, all of whom expect consistently high quality.

When Typecast’s incumbent plate supplier of 15 years announced it was increasing its prices, Typecast decided it was time to benchmark the supplier against others and, as a result, became the first company to invest in Fujifilm’s PLATESENSE Printing Plate programme. Six months after starting to rent a Fujifilm plate processor and Superia thermal low chemistry plates, Typecast is now enjoying multiple benefits and has no regrets about the move.

“We had a good relationship with our previous plate supplier, but after it increased its prices, we decided to explore other options.”

Chris Stainton | Typecast Colour

As part of his research into alternative suppliers, Stainton visited Fujifilm’s UK showroom in Bedford and was impressed by the range of high quality equipment on offer. “Having seen Fujifilm’s plates in Bedford last year,“ he says, “we decided to carry out a comparative test and ran the same job on plates from our existing supplier and then on Fujifilm plates. The Fujifilm plate quality was noticeably higher.”

Typecast signed up to a three year contract to rent a processor and pay for the 11,000 plates per year, all for a nominal monthly fee, eliminating the capital expenditure required to invest in a new processor and providing a consistent and predictable cost.

Design for Environment

The FUJIFILM Group undertakes environmentally conscious product development based on its design for environment initiative.

Reading time: 4 minutes

As part of its wider global Sustainable Value Plan 2030 (SVP2030), Fujifilm undertakes environmentally conscious product development based on its design for environment initiative. This considers the entire lifecycle of a product, from procurement, manufacturing, transportation, use to the eventual disposal, to set targets from the perspective of climate change mitigation (reduced power use, etc.). From the design stage, the “Reduce, Reuse & Recycle” principle of resource saving, risk reduction of chemical substances, and biodiversity are all considered as part of the development process.

This approach is applied not only to materials and standalone equipment, but also to software and solutions in a bid to reduce environmental impact in the society as a whole. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is conducted to achieve a quantitative and objective assessment of the environmental impact of a product. The environmental label is also used for active dissemination of information.

“Green Value Products” Certification Program

In an effort to “contribute to resolving environmental issues in society through our products and services,” as set out in the Sustainable Value Plan targeted for FY2030, Fujifilm introduced a “Green Value Products” certification program in FY2018.  This program compliments the company’s existing internal regulations on design for environment, and aims to clarify any product’s environmental values and involves the certification of products exhibiting outstanding environmental credentials.

This certification program sets certain priorities to the certification criteria according to the product category and the use and features of each product through its entire life cycle. Fujifilm then clarifies the environmental value of each product by conducting environmentally conscious design assessments based on such certification criteria at the time of product development. Certain products are then selected for certification based on the total score of each assessment item. These products are reviewed and approved by the Group Certification Council, and finally certified as a Fujifilm “Green Value Product”.

The certification criteria are determined for the entire life cycle of each product with a different weight for each assessment item, by comprehensively assessing the environmental items such as “measures for climate change,” “resource saving and recycling,” “risk minimisation for chemical substances,” and “biodiversity” as well as considering the social requirements for each business/product category.

This certification program is implemented in compliance with the requirements of the international standard “ISO14021 Self-declared Environmental Claims” and obtains the opinions of external experts in order to ensure the objectivity, reliability, and transparency of the program.

Certification ranking and criteria

Fujifilm classifies its products into three certification ranks (diamond, gold, and silver) according to the degree of their contribution to the reduction of environmental impact.

RankCertification criteria
DiamondProducts and services that user their respective industries’ innovative technologies to substantially contribute to reducing environmental impact
GoldProducts and services that reduce environmental impact at their respective industries’ highest level
SilverProducts and services that reduce environmental impact at a higher level than their respective industries’ standard

Product examples

In Fujifilm’s Graphic Arts business, the following products have been certified for their environmental performance:

Jet Press 750S High Speed Model:  GOLD

Effects on reduction of environmental impact:

  • Many of the consumables associated with conventional offset printing are eliminated
  • Significantly reduces the amount of wasted paper
  • Smaller footprint compared to previous models
  • The efficient drying mechanism reduces drying times, contributing to significantly higher speeds, and saving power
  • Excellent paper recycleability (de-inking ability)

Overall, there are significant reductions in resources, water use and waste compared to equivalent offset presses, with excellent paper recycling.

Revoria Press PC1120:                      SILVER

The requirements of major environment labels for energy consumption, hazardous substances, audible sound levels during operation and recyclable design are satisfied.

Revoria E1 Series:                             SILVER

The requirements of major environment labels for energy consumption, hazardous substances, audible sound levels during operation and recyclable design are satisfied.

Fujifilm’s Sustainable Value Plan 2030 (SVP2030)

The Fujifilm Group announced its Sustainable Value Plan 2030 (SVP2030) in August 2017. The new plan set targeting FY2030 as its long-term goal, which is expected to lay the foundations of the Group’s business management strategies for sustainable growth. One of the key pillars of the SVP2030 is dedicated to the environment.

The environment and sustainability

There are four priority issues, regarding the environmental part of the SVP2030, each with its own set of targets:

  1. Address climate change
  2. Promote the recycling of resources
  3. Address energy issues towards a decarbonised society
  4. Ensure product and chemical safety

1. Address climate change

Reduce the Fujifilm Group’s own CO2 emissions

Reduce CO2 emissions across the entire product life cycle*1 by 50% by FY2030, compared to the FY2019 level

So far (2020) the progress is 15%, 29% of the way towards the target

 

Reduce CO2 emissions from its operations (Scope 1 and 2) *2 by 50% by FY2030, compared to the FY2019 level, aiming to achieve net zero CO2 emissions by FY2040

So far (2020) the progress is 6%, 13% of the way towards the target

 

Convert 50% of purchased electric power to renewable energy-derived power by FY2030

So far (2020) the progress is 9%, 18% of the way towards the target

Contribute to reduce CO2 emissions in society through the use of Fujifilm’s products and services.

Contribute to a reduction in the CO2 emissions generated by society by 90 million tons by FY2030

 

Fujifilm has recently increased its target for contributing to reducing CO2 emissions generated in society from 50 million tonnes to 90 million tonnes.  The aim is to achieve this by replacing conventional products with products that are more sustainable.

So far (2020) the progress is 20 million tonnes, 23% of the way towards the target

 

Increase the % of products certified as “Green Value Products” to 60% of group-wide sales by FY2030.

The Fujifilm Group operates the “Green Value Products” certification scheme, a mechanism for continually creating superior environmentally conscious products and services. In fiscal 2020, 30 new products were certified, bringing the total to 166 (32%), and the company increased the target for the number of products certified to 60% of group-wide sales. As such, Fujifilm is over half-way towards this target.

So far (2020) the progress is 32%, 53% of the way towards the target.

*1 Including phases such as procurement of materials, and manufacturing, transportation, usage and disposal of products.

*2 Direct emission from the company at the manufacturing stage of the product (Scope 1) and indirect emission due to the use of electricity / steam supplied from other companies (Scope 2).

Promote the recycling of resources

Reduce the amount of water the Fujifilm Group uses by 30% by FY2030 (compared to FY2013 levels)

The result in FY2020 was 16%, so the company is over half-way towards the goal of 30% by FY2030.

Contribute to the treatment of 35 million tonnes of water per year in society by FY2030

The result in FY2020 was 8 million tonnes, so the company is around 23% of the way towards the goal of 35 million tonnes by FY2030.

Reduce the amount of waste produced by the Fujifilm Group by 30% by FY2030 (compared to FY2013 levels)

Fujifilm has managed to ensure that the amount of waste produced by the Group did not increase in FY2020, despite rising revenues and an expansion of the business, but has not yet managed to make the reductions planned.  This is a key area of focus for the future.

Achieve a recycling index*3 of more than 10 by FY2030 (was 6.5 in FY2020)

Achieve a valuables conversion index*4 of more than 1 in FY2030 (was 0.63 in FY2020)

*3 Recycling index = (Recycled volume + Valuable-converted volume) / Simple disposal volume

*4 Valuables conversion index = Valuable-converted volume / Recycled volume

Address energy issues towards a decarbonised society

By contributing to the creation and widespread use of renewable energies through advanced materials, Fujifilm aims to help address energy issues and the move towards a decarbonised society. In particular, a New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation (NEDO) started the development of an “all solid state lithium-ion battery” – a next generation storage battery for electric vehicles, under an industry-government-academia collaboration. Fujifilm is participating in the project as one of 23 manufacturers of cars and batteries.

Ensure product and chemical safety

Under this objective, Fujifilm’s aim is to minimise the adverse effect of chemical substances on human health and the environment. In particular, Fujifilm completed the replacement of 2 of 7 chemical substances within the high priority substances for risk management, a new classification established in 2020.  In addition, Fujifilm held online briefings for business partners and achieved 90% understanding of the chemSHERPA chemical information communication system, contributing to further improvement of management accuracy for hazardous substances used in products.

Case Study: Revoria Press PC1120

Arti Grafiche Biellesi

Case Study

The Revoria Press PC1120 investment is Arti Grafiche Biellesi’s first foray into digital print technology after many years producing print on analogue presses.

Arti Grafiche Biellesi

Candelo, Italy

Revoria Press PC1120

Fujifilm has a lot of expertise in this area and we’re excited to work with them and see how our new Revoria investment can help us embark on a new chapter

Alberto Maula | Arti Grafiche Biellesi

Highlights

  • Arti Grafiche Biellesi is an experienced print service provider specialising in high value commercial and packaging applications
  • Following an increase in demand for shorter runs and specialised print jobs, the company invested in Fujifilm’s Revoria Press PC1120
  • Investment marks a switch-over from offset to digital for the company
  • Arti Grafiche Biellesi previously had to outsource work requiring white ink, but can now produce it all in-house
  • The ability to print in special colours, with white ink, and on a wide range of substrates were all key reasons for the investment
  • Arti Grafiche Biellesi is confident that the investment will help the company move forward and address customer demands

Based in the Biella area of Candelo, north-western Italy, Arti Grafiche Biellesi is an experienced print service provider that specialises in a wide variety of printed products. From catalogues to brochures, and from window displays to labels and packaging, the company offers much in the way of versatility and expertise. It is also an adaptable, forward-thinking company and has recently invested in Fujifilm’s Revoria Press PC1120, 120ppm toner-based press – recognising the increase in demand for shorter runs and specialised print jobs. Arti Grafiche Biellesi believes this investment will help the company move forward.

“We print on such a diverse range of materials to produce our products,” explains Alberto Maula, owner of Arti Grafiche Biellesi. “We’re not a conventional print company; 90% of our work is textile-related packaging and packaging for fashion and luxury goods. This involves complicated print jobs on special paper – some coloured, some very thick – these may be cardboard based and have rough surfaces. The end result is products of exceptional quality, and while we have enjoyed much success with our offset equipment, we recognise digital printing to be an increasingly important factor in the evolution of the industry.

With the new Revoria press, we can do print jobs with special colours and print onto a wider variety of substrates with varying thickness. The white ink in particular is remarkable, and the silver and gold also look fantastic.

Alberto Maula | Arti Grafiche Biellese

“We’ve now made our first ever investment in digital printing equipment with Fujifilm’s Revoria Press PC1120. This machine will help us to address the needs of our customers; not just for the creation of more short run jobs, which are now becoming increasingly common, but it will help us to create some incredible print work.”

Colours and versatility were key to the investment. Maula continues: “With the new Revoria press, we can do print jobs with special colours and print onto a wider variety of substrates with varying thickness. The white ink in particular is remarkable and will open a lot of new doors for us – we have had a lot of requests for print jobs with white ink which we had to outsource, up until now. The silver and gold also look fantastic and there are many ways in which we can create some beautiful products for our customers.”

The digital printing market may be new for Arti Grafiche Biellesi, but for Alberto Maula, it’s an exciting journey to embark on: “We are known for offset – we have always been offset. But this move to digital, while mainly an unknown area for us, is full of opportunities. Fujifilm has a lot of expertise in this area and we’re excited to work with them and see how our new Revoria investment can help us embark on a new chapter.”

Taro Aoki, head of digital press solutions at Fujifilm Graphic Communications Europe says: “Arti Grafiche Biellesi knows how to print exceptional work and create some stunning visual products for its customers. We are delighted they see the Revoria Press PC1120 as a crucial part of their business moving forwards.”

PLATESENSE

The smart way to manage your offset plate production

Optimise your offset plate production

PLATESENSE is a programme designed to help you manage your offset plate production more efficiently, and ultimately reduce costs.

The main idea behind PLATESENSE is for Fujifilm to take responsibility for managing a number of core elements of offset plate production. Fujifilm supplies the plates when you need them, but importantly, can also take care of your waste and aluminium collection, and service and maintain your processor.

Let us

manage your

plate production
CTP

equipment

rental or swap-out
Financed via an

uplift in your

plate price

Why PLATESENSE?

Flexible financing and lower operational costs for your pre-press

Remove the hassle of managing your pre-press department

Upgrade your CTP equipment or workflow with flexible financing

Pre-press the smart way – minimise the burden of plate production in whatever way possible

At its heart, PLATESENSE is a programme designed to minimise the burden of offset plate production in whatever way possible, so that the costs and time involved can be minimised and resources focussed elsewhere. But there are also opportunities to improve and maximise efficiencies by upgrading to a new CTP device, introducing a higher performance plate, or even changing a workflow to streamline production.

CTP equipment rental

As part of the CTP equipment rental programme, Fujifilm will install and maintain the equipment, and remove the equipment at the end of the payment period, typically five years. We will agree a deposit (normally only 3 months payment up front), and a monthly payment plan with a choice of low or high payments.

This part of the PLATESENSE programme eliminates the capital expenditure required to upgrade or invest in a new platesetter, and provides a predictable and manageable cost. At the end of the payment period, you also have the opportunity to invest in new, better equipment. It is even possible for you to upgrade the equipment during the five year programme, subject to the financial arrangement being reviewed and recalculated.

CTP equipment swap-out

If you already have a CTP device that you would like to swap out for a higher performance model, Fujifilm is able to offer an equipment swap-out programme as part of PLATESENSE. This is an extension of the rental option, with the addition of Fujifilm offering you a price for taking away your existing device.

Depending on the model that you have installed, Fujifilm will offer you a competitive buy-back deal to remove your existing engine. This value will then be offset against the monthly payment plan for a new CTP device on a rental programme (or you could take the money as cash). This can typically mean that Fujifilm will remove an existing platesetter, install a new, higher performance machine, and your initial monthly rental payments will be offset by the value of the second hand machine that is due to be removed.

A new workflow

It is important your workflow keeps pace with the changes in your business, as otherwise it can have an effect on your efficiency and job turn-around times. As part of the PLATESENSE programme, Fujifilm can make upgrading your workflow as easy as possible, allowing you to take advantage of our industry-leading XMF solution. Again, this can be financed by applying a simple uplift to the plate price.

The benefits of this capability extend beyond the obvious application of variable data personalisation. Jobs can also be printed ‘collated’ in page order to simplify and speed up the finishing process or improve the logistics for job distribution, making the production of versioned print jobs simple and straightforward.

Full managed plate production

The ultimate PLATESENSE solution is for Fujifilm to take full responsibility for all parts of your plate production. In addition to all the elements described in part 1 of the programme, Fujifilm would also take responsibility for your pre-press operators, with them effectively being outsourced to Fujifilm. This eliminates the hassle of plate production entirely, allowing you to concentrate on what matters the most, running your business.

The transition was seamless and cost us nothing, as the installation and maintenance of the equipment are also covered by the fee.

Chris Stainton | Co-owner, Typecast

Flexibility

A programme built to be flexible

The important thing to remember with PLATESENSE is that it is designed to be flexible. You can combine different elements to suit your business needs.

Mix & Match

You can, for example, just rent a new CTP device and agree a monthly payment plan. Or, if your offset plate production equipment is reaching the end of its life, you can invest in a completely new suite of high performance equipment, including a new workflow, financed to suit the needs of your business and cash flow.

Flexibility for the future

The PLATESENSE programme has also been built to be flexible over time. This means it is possible to change the programme as your business changes, subject to a new financing package.

Fujifilm as your partner

The other benefit of adopting PLATESENSE is the reassurance that Fujifilm will be your long term partner to offer support and guidance along the way. You will also be able to take advantage of Fujifilm’s other industry-leading technologies as your business evolves.

It’s nice to be able to develop our partnership with Fujifilm, but we picked the Jet Press 750S High Speed Model on its merits, particularly the excellent quality and the ease of use

Jean-François Le Borgne, Associate Director | RGI

Founded in the mid-1980s, imprimerie RGI is a commercial print business in Saint-Thibault-des-Vignes, east of Paris. For nearly 40 years the company has been producing a huge range of applications for a wide variety of clients and, over this time, it has developed a deserved reputation for exceptional quality and outstanding customer service.

In early 2022 the company decided to make its first digital print investment and, after carefully considering all the options on the market, they installed a Jet Press 750S Inkjet Printer from Fujifilm.

“Covid-19 changed everything,” says Jean-François Le Borgne, Associate Director, RGI. “It changed the way we work, and it has really turned our industry upside down. We were already seeing a market trend towards targeted, high quality, short run print jobs and the pandemic has massively accelerated that trend.”

Despite an existing, strong relationship with Fujifilm, having been a plate customer for the past ten years, the company directors were determined to carefully consider all their digital press investment options to ensure they picked the right option for their business. “It’s nice to be able to develop our partnership with Fujifilm, but we picked the Jet Press 750S High Speed Model on its merits,” Le Borgne continues. “Its capabilities quickly won us over, particularly the excellent quality and the ease of use. We’re an offset print business and the Jet Press fits seamlessly into that environment with minimal changes required to our processes.”

A new range of Revoria digital presses from Fujifilm

Revoria is no ordinary range. It comes from Fujifilm – a company with a deep understanding of both offset and digital print, a long history of delivering industry-leading, sustainable print solutions and a culture of honest and open long term partnerships. With an ambitious plan to launch new toner digital presses as part of this range, this is just the beginning.

Stable and reliable production

Stable paper transport

Wide turning angles in the paper path mean that the paper transport is fast and stable. In addition, for 2 sided printing, a vertical paper inversion mechanism reduces curves in the paper path to minimise paper jams. Finally, as the EA-Eco LGK toner fuses at lower temperatures, less impact is caused by the heat generated by the fused paper on the transfer mechanism, minimising paper transport issues.

Air suction feeder with enhanced paper handling capabilities

The air suction feeder uses a small amount of air to easily separate and deliver each sheet efficiently. This improves the feed performance of many types of paper, for example paper with a lot of dust, pre-printed paper using powder, paper with an uneven texture, and coated paper that is prone to sticking. In addition, a stable feed is achieved at high speeds for various paper weights, from light to heavyweight, and from small sizes to large.

Continuous mass printing

High capacity feeders and stackers make continuous mass printing possible. In addition, cartridge replacement and paper refills can be done while printing is in progress, with a single high capacity toner cartridge yielding up to 71,500 pages.

No more multifeed and mixed blank pages

The multifeed detection sensor monitors the paper flow to prevent the feeding of multiple sheets of paper. If a multifeed is detected, printing is interrupted to prevent the insertion of a blank page.

Superb, high resolution print quality of 2400 x 2400 dpi

The heart of the printer uses Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers as a light source. They enable printing at an ultra-high resolution of 2400 × 2400 dpi by producing images simultaneously with 32 laser beams.

EA-Eco LGK toner for high image quality

The EA-Eco LGK toner, with extremely small particle sizes of 6.5 microns, allows the reproduction of smooth, fine gradations in photographs, uniform densities and very fine text to be achieved. It also produces easy-to-read printed text with less glare which is also easy on your eyes.

Advanced transfer unit for consistent transport speed

Designed to prevent fluctuations in paper transport speed, the stable drive speed of the transfer belt has been achieved by increasing the roll diameter, along with the automatic adjustment of contact pressure between transfer belt and drum. These measures ensure consistent transfer speeds of all paper types.

Ultra-high precision registration

Image Registration Control Technology (IReCT) precisely measures the position of sheets running at high speeds, and produces real time corrections to the poor registration of printed images or distortion on each sheet to ensure the highest possible quality.

Maintain print quality with easy adjustments

To maintain print quality, easy adjustments can be made with the Simple Image Quality Adjustment (SIQA) process by just printing and scanning the calibration chart. This ensures consistent print quality with properly adjusted print position, perpendicularity, skew and magnification on both the front and back sides.

Edge enhancements improve image quality

Higher image quality has been implemented with ‘Edge Enhancement’ technology that fixes the jaggedness on the edge of thin lines and text outlines, along with ‘Adjust Invert Text/Line Weight’ technology that fixes thickened/blurred text.

A wider variety of screening choices

Various screen settings, including an FM screen that suppresses moire, are are now available.

Flexible and versatile media handling

A wide range of paper weights, feeding options and finishing systems ensure the most versatile production.

Media handling capabilities

The Revoria E1 Series can handle a wide range of paper weights from lightweight paper of 52 gsm to heavyweight paper of 350 gsm. The upper limit of heavyweight paper has been extended thanks to the paper path design, and by employing a control mechanism that automatically switches fusing roll pressure between two levels. Fine control has also been achieved to extend the range of supported coated and speciality papers.

Paper sizes ranging from A6 to 330.2 × 488 mm are available. Full bleed printing on SRA3 (320 × 450mm) sheets is also possible to create brochures or leaflets that need to have bleed. In addition, banner printing on long paper of up to 660.4 mm is also available. This means new print applications such as powerful panoramic posters are now possible.

Printing with the correct settings for each media type

Up to 100 paper types can be registered with ‘Custom Paper Settings’. This allows configuration settings such as the alignment, fold position and fusing temperature to be set according to the paper being used, to maximise image quality.

Flexible feeding and finishing options

A wide range of feeding and finishing options make it possible to build flexible printing systems that allow many different types of printed brochures to be produced inline. Supported options include cover insertion, three-sided trim, and saddle stapled booklets with square back.

Advanced software

The Revoria E1 Series incorporates advanced software and server infrastructure to support high speed, high quality production.

Image data processing to maximise print engine performance

The advanced print server delivers high speeds and superb image quality by utilising image processing technologies cultivated in the development of colour production printers. High resolution and smooth screen images of 2400 x 2400 dpi are generated on the device with Fujifilm’s unique HQ digital screen technologies.

In addition, our unique intermediate data format streamlines RIP processing. In conventional RIP processing, calculations take a long time due to the large data volumes. However, Fujifilm’s new RIP process algorithms automatically identify objects such as text and images, and process them in the right format, greatly reducing the processing time without degrading image quality.

High speed, large volume printing of variable data

The high speed, large volume printing of personalised documents, including direct mail, bills, statements, etc., is made possible by using industry standard PPML, PDF/VT-1, and PDF/VT-2 languages for variable data printing.

Important print data provided by customers can be protected from data breaches by being securely erased from the print server so that the data cannot be recovered even with data recovery software. In addition, data in the printer can be encrypted or securely erased to prevent unauthorised access.

Support for Adobe® PDF Print Engine

The Adobe® PDF Print Engine directly rips PDF data. Even a PDF file with transparency or layers can be processed, and blur, drop shadow and glow effects can be used with ease.

JDF workflow

JDF, which is a communication and protocol standard in the printing industry, is supported. This means that it is possible to integrate the E1 Series printers into production workflow systems to build a hybrid workflow for both offset and digital printing.

An advanced new Revoria digital press from Fujifilm

Revoria is no ordinary range. It comes from Fujifilm – a company with a deep understanding of both offset and digital print, a long history of delivering industry-leading, sustainable print solutions and a culture of honest and open long term partnerships. With an ambitious plan to launch new toner digital presses as part of this range, this is just the beginning.

Fire your imagination with six colours

Imagine up to six colour stations online at the same time with speciality toners that can include white, gold, silver, clear, pink, and textured finishes. Then add the possibility of printing one of each both before and after CMYK laydown for an infinite number of creative possibilities. The Revoria Press PC1120 is the only press that can offer such flexibility with the minimum of fuss and downtime. Other platforms require multiple passes through the press and swapping colours between stations to achieve the same output.

Defining a new standard of print quality for a toner press

Precision toner for clarity and definition

Super EA-Eco toner* also has one of the smallest toner particle sizes in the world. This makes it possible to reproduce small characters and thin lines more sharply, render halftones and gradients with less graininess, and reproduce dot shapes more faithfully, delivering superior print quality.

* All toners except white are EA-Eco toners

Smooth gradation correction

Super smooth gradation with 1200 x 1200 dpi and 10-bit processing, 4 times greater than before, allows smoother, sharper, clearer quality to be produced than ever before.

Edge enhancement improves ability to print fine lines and text

Smoothing on the edge of an image corrects jaggedness of halftone lines and text.

Feeding and finishing for whatever job comes next

The Revoria Press PC1120 can be configured with a unique combination of feeding options including a new air suction feeder that is also available for feeding banner sheets up to 1.2m. A range of folding, trimming and booklet making options are now supplemented by a new static eliminator, essential for handling films and other synthetic media. With such a comprehensive range of options, the Revoria Press PC1120 can be configured with just the right options for a specific project or expanded to take on whatever type of job comes next.

New Static Eliminator module keeps synthetic media moving

Adding white to the Revoria Press PC1120 opens up the potential to print on films for stickers, labels, window graphics and very light stocks. Without the efficient removal of static build up after the fusing process, synthetic sheets can stick together, making them difficult to handle. The new Static Eliminator module makes finishing easier and more reliable, using a two stage process that can be adjusted precisely to suit the media, including some papers, that would otherwise be hard to process.

New Air Suction Feeder handles banners too

Accurate and reliable paper feeding of a range of paper types and even difficult substrates is a must for an efficient print on demand environment. The Revoria Press PC1120 Air /Suction Feeder is an offset-like feeding mechanism that adds a new level of control for light weight to heavy weight paper, small or large, even banner sized sheets. The shuttle head transport draws up the paper and separates sheets that would normally be prone to sticking.

Revoria Flow PC21 – Fujifilm’s advanced imaging software

There are no extra cost modules to purchase with Revoria Flow print server – everything you need to produce and manage stunning print is included: unlimited remote clients, a powerful imposition editor, advanced colour management, spot colour matching, document composition tools, preflight reports, a raster image viewer, and a production timeline view are just some of the features.

Unique AI based photo quality optimisation

Revoria Flow PC21 allows you to automatically improve and optimise supplied images. The optimisation process uses AI built from Fujifilm’s many years of photography and imaging knowledge to identify and adjust specific scenes automatically. Even poor quality images that are too dark, too bright, backlit, or with poor skin or sky colours, can be automatically corrected and printed beautifully.

Fiery PC11 – Designed to help maintain colour quality

 

Add value to your prints

The Fiery PC11 software makes it easy to take advantage of the power of the PC1120’s 6 colour capability to deliver premium print effects. The Fiery Smart Estimator also estimates speciality toner costs before having to print a single page.

 

Automatic PDF Enhancement

Fiery Jobexpert™ is a new technology that analyses incoming PDF files and dynamically chooses the optimalprint settings to achieve the highest quality white optimising processing time.

Typically, it would be difficult to achieve a small run order of special colours, but with the Revoria PC1120, we are now able to do just that. All of our customers have been amazed with the quality and turnaround times.

Highlights are a clear winner

Pink also adds a wider range of printable colours, increasing the gamut in purple, orange and yellow shades.

Taller, wider, longer banner printing
