FUJIFILM Acuity LED 1600 ideal for production of social distancing markers

FUJIFILM Acuity LED 1600 is a high value creative printing system with LED UV technology. Being the latest generation of the successful LED UV hybrid printer series, this system is now even faster and more versatile, with simultaneous colour, white and clear ink printing. Powered by FUJIFILM’s leading printhead and ink technologies, this is a reliable production machine built to deliver exceptional results and a lot of companies across the globe these days are using this workhorse to produce social distancing markers. Excellent productivity up to 33 sq m per hour, Acuity LED 1600 takes up simultaneous multi-layer printing with colours, white and clear on roll media and rigid sheets.

West London signage company FD Signs has successfully delivered the social distancing floor graphics for use across the London transport network using Acuity LED 1600. Nearly 100,000 social distancing floor graphics have been created by the company. In the production process, FD Signs uses Acuity LED 1600 alongside another roll-to-roll machine to produce the work, which was printed onto Polar Grip vinyl supplied by Drytac. At one point, the FD Signs team had delivered 6000 graphics a day, for 10 consecutive days, to 30 different installation teams around the capital who installed them in London Underground stations during overnight closures. Though FD Signs have had their hybrid Acuity LED 1600 for nearly two years, this was the first time they had used its roll-to-roll function.
