Fujifilm Introduces Graphium, a Digital UV Inkjet Press for Labels and Packaging

FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Graphic Systems Division has introduced its latest innovation in inkjet printing, the Graphium UV inkjet press. Graphium is a high-speed hybrid UV inkjet press designed specifically for the narrow web market. Its modular design provides the functionality as it combines inkjet, flexographic printing and finishing, all inline. Utilizing greyscale print heads that produce a range of drop sizes from 6 to 42 picoliters, combined with inter-color LED pinning of Fujifilm Uvijet inks, enables Graphium to print fine details, smooth tones and small font text demanded by the most exacting customers at single-pass print speeds up to 164 ft./min. Graphium also features an over and under white capability, allowing pure white designs with opacity that exceeds traditional flexo white. Graphium is able to handle a print width of either 13 inches or 16 inches, allowing printing of the thinnest labels to heavy duty vinyl, including board stock. Graphium offers printers an alternative to flexo and screen printing of short to medium-run, four-color plus white labels and decals, allowing for up to six flexo stations and inline finishing options. Graphium provides a level of flexibility and productivity to print the complex projects that customers increasingly require in today's market. The inline corona treatment enables customers to print on virtually any substrate without the requirement of a pre-coating to achieve adhesion.
