FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Business Innovation Division, today announced the U.S. launch of the ACUITY TR, a revolutionary 1.6-meter (63 inch) roll-fed printer that sets a new standard for wide format roll printing.
Equipped with Fujifilm’s groundbreaking AQUAFUZE water-based UV ink technology, the ACUITY TR delivers impressive print quality and versatility offering users a flexible, eco-conscious printing solution that powers vibrant creative expression across a wide range of applications.
The ACUITY TR’s innovative AQUAFUZE inkjet technology combines photopolymer dispersion with water-based UV curing to reduce printhead nozzle clogging, improve ink ejection, and eliminate the need for primers, optimizers, or topcoats on a wide range of substrates. Offering a low odor, water-based alternative to traditional solvent and latex inks, AQUAFUZE inkjet technology delivers strong adhesion, scratch resistance, and excellent rub resistance.
“As the wide format field continues to grow and demands a larger variety of applications and substrates, we are thrilled to introduce the ACUITY TR and our proprietary AQUAFUZE inkjet ink technology to the U.S. market,” said Yuji Oki, general manager, FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Business Innovation Division. “This new technology – which combines benefits and characteristics of water-based and UV inks – represents a significant step forward offering a unique combination of quality, durability, and versatility. We are confident that our customers will appreciate the performance and broad application possibilities that AQUAFUZE inkjet technology provides and anticipate this becoming the new standard in wide format printing.”
As the industry evolves, there is growing demand for inks that offer both high durability and stretchability, essential for products that require bending and further processing. In addition, ink safety, including minimizing solvent emissions and reducing odors during printing, is becoming an increasingly important factor in ink selection.
