FUJIFILM partners with Barberán for high performance inkjet printer for signage market

Following extensive and successful talks over two years, FUJIFILM has agreed terms for a joint development with Spanish industrial print manufacturer Barberán, to bring a high-speed, single pass inkjet press to the sign and display market. Barberán has established itself as a world leader in high-end, high productivity industrial presses for the corrugated market over the last ten years. Now this new partnership combines Barberán’s manufacturing expertise with FUJIFILM’s unrivalled knowledge of inkjet integration, ink chemistry and its extensive experience in the sign and display market.

The new inkjet printer will print with a bespoke new FUJIFILM ink and primer, developed at its multi-award-winning factory in Broadstairs, UK, making it suitable for printing on a range of substrates, including plastic and particleboard. At 30 meters in length and with an excellent built-in print engine, the machine will be able to print on all typical sign and display substrates, up to a width of 1.6 meters, at breath-taking speeds of 6,000 sq m/hr.
