Fujifilm shows off Acuity Ultra developments

Fujifilm is using Fespa Global to show-off new developments to the Acuity Ultra superwide-format printer first introduced at Fespa 2018.

The Acuity Ultra has, until now, been available either with six channels configured as CMYK plus light inks, or eight channels as CMYK plus light inks and two white channels. Now a new model, the Acuity Ultra 5044 is available with a dual CMYK configuration. Also now available are new 2-pass and 1-pass print modes, the latter enabling users to print at speeds of up to 400m2 per hour - 60% faster than the top-end speed previously possible. Flexible smoothing functionality means that users can opt for 100% smoothing to reduce banding and maximise quality, 0% smoothing to maximise top-end speed. As before, the new Acuity Ultra is available in 5m and 3.2m models.
