Everything you need to know about Digital Printing – part 12 – 20th July 2009
Sheetfed production inkjets
All the fast inkjets on the market so far have been reel fed, which makes construction easier but limits their appeal to printers who need to change substrates often.
At drupa 2008, Fuji and Screen both unveiled surprises in the form of sheetfed full colour inkjet prototypes. Both have offset style sheet feeders and can print on standard offset coated papers, which should attract the general commercial market. It is too soon to judge print qualtity, but the idea is that they should be a reasonable match for litho.
Fuji’s Jet Press 720 is a B2 format single pass model, likely to ship early in 2010 and is aimed at the commercial sheetfed offset sector. It has a predicted speed of 2700 sheets per hour; single sided, with variable data. It is a simplex printer with aqueous inks but Fuji says that sheets emerge dry so the reverse side can be printed immediately.
Screen’s machine is called Truepress JetSX and is a slightly smaller SRA2 format (530 x 740mm) and likely to print 1600 sheets per hour. It can likewise handle standard offset papers. However, it is closer to market than the Fuji and should reach early users during 2009.
