Santa Clara, Calif.,– FUJIFILM Dimatix, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of FUJIFILM Corporation, and a leading global manufacturer and supplier of piezoelectric, drop-on-demand industrial inkjet printheads, today announces the launch of FUJIFILM Samba JPC™ UV inkjet modules for integrators and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) suppliers.
FUJIFILM Samba JPC UV inkjet modules enable system designers and integrators to minimize the product development cycle of 1200 dpi single-pass inkjet printers with ready-to-integrate modules that support system design with high image quality, reliability, and uptime.
“Leveraging its rich history in digital inkjet solutions, Fujifilm has invested in building modules that will enable OEM and integrators to develop digital inkjet solutions that can deliver high-quality single pass printing for a variety of UV ink print applications,” said Martin Schoeppler, CEO, FUJIFILM Dimatix, Inc.
Modules can be added separately or in combination to create a unique digital inkjet solution. Components include:
According to Marco Boer, vice president at IT Strategies, a leading digital printing industry analyst and consultancy, “UV-curable inks play an important role in the graphic arts and industrial print world, as they can print directly onto a very wide range of substrates without pre-treatments. UV-curable inks are instantly dry when exposed to UV-light, allowing the fastest production/finishing possible, using much lower energy consumption than other inkjet inks. Over 10 million liters of UV inkjet ink were consumed worldwide in 2021 and is expected to grow depending on the application between 10-30% annually through 2027."
The broad appeal of UV inks makes FUJIFLIM Samba JPC modules candidates for integration into systems targeted at commercial printers, label and packaging converters as well as Industrial printing producers in decorative, printed electronics and specialty printing industry segments.
“FUJIFILM Samba JPC modules are a critical ingredient for integrators and OEMs that develop advanced single pass printing systems,” said Takashi Fukui, manager, Inkjet Business Division, FUJIFILM Corporation. “We are pleased to expand the FUJIFILM Samba JPC line with UV ink handling alongside our existing support for aqueous inks. Adding UV ink support will allow our partners to offer print solutions that meet the needs of print service providers looking to add digital printing to a growing range of applications and further expand the possibilities of this technology.”
FUJIFILM Samba JPC modules are available for system integrators and OEM suppliers now. For additional information, contact a Fujifilm sales representative at fdmxmarketing@fujifilm.com.
