Fuji Xerox Australia shone a spotlight on innovative wide-format technology as a catalyst for business development and growth at Visual Impact Brisbane 2014, the exhibition specialising in digital print technology for the display and sign industries.
By bringing together, on one stand, best of breed technologies from its range of wide-format products, as well as those from Epson and Fujifilm, Fuji Xerox Australia demonstrated how its complete range of turnkey solutions makes a compelling business case to print providers wishing to enter or build on their presence in the fast growing wide-format print market.
In centre stage on the Fuji Xerox stand was the FujiXerox DocuWide C842 printer. With unrivalled print speeds – it can print up to seven AO size sheets per hour in full colour at 1,600 x 1,600dpi – the DocuWide C842 produces vivid, eye-catching large-format posters, plans and banners, making it a valuable tool for commercial printers, engineers, architects, sign and display print providers.
Also on show at the stand was the Epson SureColor SC-S50600 and Fujifilm’s Actuity LED 1600.
The Epson SureColor SC-S50600 uses pigment based UltraChrome Eco-Solvent ink which is nickel free and contains no fluorine compounds for improved user safety. This formulation also provides an extended colour gamut and a dense finish which is resistant to fading and scratching.
The Fujifilm Acuity LED 1600 is an affordable wide-format hybrid printer supporting both roll-fed and rigid media with environmentally-friendly LED UV curing able to produce stunning eight-colour prints including white and clear.
A single front-end solution using Caldera workflow was driving the Fuji Xerox range of wide-format solutions on the stand. Caldera allows users to profile print jobs for both indoor and outdoor applications.
“Fuji Xerox Australia worked with our partners Epson and Fujifilm to demonstrate a range of our complete turnkey, or working solutions – customised to meet your requirements. Those solutions make it easy for print providers to capitalise on the growing wide-format market segment and to add real value for their customers,” said Peter Collings, national manager, Wide Format Solutions and Products at Fuji Xerox Australia.
