Fujifilm to Showcase Superwide and Wide-Format Inkjet Solutions at SGIA

HANOVER PARK, Ill. – October 8, 2018 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Graphic Systems Division, will showcase an impressive line-up of new and innovative wide-format solutions to print industry experts at SGIA Expo 2018 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, booth 1119, October 18 – 20, 2018.

Making its North American debut will be Fujifilm’s all-new Acuity Ultra, a cost-effective high speed, superwide UV roll-to-roll press for the production of high-end interior graphics and outdoor signage. The Acuity Ultra Series is available in 126-inch (3.2 m) and 197-inch (5m) versions, giving printers the power to profit from interior and exterior applications where high-impact, near photographic quality is required.

With a 3.5 pl drop size, the Acuity Ultra is ideal for the indoor display market, especially for luxury brands, with the quality comparable with litho and leading water-based ink systems. With its massive format size, multi-roll potential and impressive speed, Acuity Ultra gives you the ability to profitably create exhibition graphics, point-of-purchase displays, high-value graphic art, indoor backlit displays and more.

“I’m eager for the North American debut of the Acuity Ultra at SGIA this year,” says Becky McConnell, product marketing manager, Onset Series, FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Graphic Systems Division. “Fujifilm has long been known for reliability and outstanding quality, and with regard to the Acuity Ultra, this grand format printer will definitely make an impression on the show floor.”
