Fujifilm launches new Acuity Advance HS-X2 UV flatbed

Fujifilm has announced the introduction of the new Acuity Advance HS-X2 wide format UV inkjet printer. The printer is the next generation in the highly successful Acuity series. It will sit alongside the Acuity Advance and Acuity Advance HS printers in Fujifilm’s printer line-up and builds on many of the leading design features the Acuity series is known for, including near photographic print quality.

The X2 employs a dual zoning system with independent vacuum control which allows the printing of an image in one zone while setting up another image in the second. This enables the press operator to load substrate on one side of the bed while the other side is still printing. This continual printing function dramatically increases throughput. The printer incorporates the same modified print head array as the recently launched Acuity Advance HS, with POP production speeds of up to 462 sq ft/hr.
