Fujifilm will unveil a new Acuity printer at the Fespa Global Print Expo in Munich next month, while also revealing more details of its partnership with Barberan.

At the show, which will be held at Messe Munich from 23 to 26 May, the manufacturer said it will present developments to its existing Acuity models, as well as “unveiling an entirely new machine in the line-up”. It is keeping specific details under wraps for now but said more would be announced ahead of the show.

The company’s 500sqm booth (Hall A1, Stand B10), will consist of six display bays. Four of these will showcase printers first displayed at Fespa 2022 in Berlin, including the Acuity Prime L, which recently began commercially availability, the Acuity Ultra Hybrid LED, and the Acuity Ultra R2 in both 5m and 3.2m configurations.

Fujifilm will highlight the technological developments and enhancements made since then, as well as sharing early market success.

One of the remaining two bays on the booth will be used to unveil the new Acuity machine while the other will highlight Fujifilm’s partnership with Barberan.

Its alliance with the industrial manufacturer was revealed last year, with the aim to bring single-pass inkjet to the sign and display market. It will be demonstrated with an intricate scale model and video demonstration.

David Burton, business director at Fujifilm Wide Format Inkjet Systems, said: “We can’t wait to, once again, showcase our Acuity wide-format printers, which offer value for money, reliability and stability.

“Fespa 2023 offers the perfect platform to highlight both the sales success and the technical improvements we’ve made to the existing range over the last 12 months, while also looking ahead at what is to come, with the unveiling of an all-new machine on the stand and a lot more detail about our exciting partnership with Barberan.

“To all those attending Fespa this year, we look forward to welcoming you to our stand.”

Fujifilm has just released the new Uvijet HZ range of inks for its Acuity Prime flatbed presses, designed for a wide range of thermoforming applications.
