Make Specialty Colour Applications Easily and Quickly Digital Printing.

Digital printing enables handy and speedy design of applications using specialty colours, which would take time and cost with offset.

• Multicolour printing and finishing in single pass:
  This press handles printing and finishing in single pass, for a job that uses specialty colours, for which other machines would take multiple steps. You can efficiently make highly value-added applications.
• Many specialty colours can be easily used:
  You do not have to set each specialty colour ink on the printing machine. With this press, you can easily use various specialty colours because the press creates metallic colours by combining Gold Dry Ink or Silver Dry Ink with CMYK Dry Ink.
• The colour of the Specialty Dry Ink is customer replaceable:
  By allowing the user to replace the Dry Ink, the five Specialty Dry Inks^* have become more easy to use.
       _{* Gold, Silver, White, Pink and Clear Dry Ink.}

White Dry Ink and Clear Dry Ink^* Bring New Possiblities of Design Expression

The press comes with White Dry Ink of a high brightness and opacity that contrasts favourably with dark stock or other special substrates. Underlay with White Dry Ink realises CMYK colours without being affected by the substrate colour. Clear Dry Ink creates a glossy-feel finish like varnish. You can expect an eye-catching design effect.

Design Using Specialty Colour Exercises its Value in Variable Printing.

The use of Specialty Dry Ink for variable printing of direct mail, invitation cards, and the like provides added values such as a high appealing power required for one-to-one marketing. Using the press with our FreeFlow VI Suite^*, you are able not only to print personalised documents fast but also to get printed texts that are only visible with an infrared camera or under UV/black-light with ordinary CMYK Dry Ink. Unique visual effects that provide basic level of fraud protection.

Vivid Printing with Pink Dry Ink.

Pink Dry Ink can be used as specialty dry ink.
Using pink colour allows you to express in various ways, for example, cute, stylish, and elegant designs.
You can also print vivid orange, red, and violet with increased colour fidelity that could not be reproduced with conventional CMYK.
This enables the booklet cover and POP to exhibit strong appealing power with an eye catching design.

^{Note: “ICC profile for pink colour separation” comes bundled as standard. It can convert RGB data into CMYK plus pink data.}

Fine Expression of Texts, Thin Lines, and Gradations with the 1200 X 1200-DPI X 10-BIT RIP Rendering.

The 1200 x 1200-dpi x 10-bit RIP rendering reproduces smooth texts, thin lines, and gradations of the source material without degrading the image quality. Combined with the excellent hardware performance of Iridesse Production Press, which is a production flagship model, this feature realises one of the best image quality among FUJIFILM Business Innovation products.

Selecting Different Screens for Individual Objects for Optimum Image Quality.

Various screens are available, from which you can select the suitable one for each object such as a text and photo. The FM screen of FUJIFILM Business Innovation is effective for moire. Granular roughness that tends to occur on FM screens is suppressed by the dot arrangement suitable for the xerography profile, realising a smooth image quality.

Clear Printing of Small Text and Thin Lines.

• Edge enhancement:
  Jaggy, which tends to occur on midtone texts and lines, is suppressed by screen processing on contours, reproducing crisp texts and lines.

• Adjust Invert Text/Line Weight:
  In these processes, the press mitigates crushing of white texts and fattening of black texts when the texts are small. Several levels of Dry Ink amount are available for selection for applying to the contour, so that you can set a desirable balance for better readability of texts.

3D Calibration Supporting Stable Colours Reproduction.

For calibration, we provide Full Width Array that automates the adjustment of colour variation as well as i1^®Pro 2 – a spectrophotometer of X-Rite. High-accuracy 3D calibration and a feedback function that supports not only single colour but also mixed colours support stable colour reproduction.

Fine Colour Correction Adapted to the Design and Photos.

• Support for different CMYK colour standards:
  The press supports different colour standards of the printing industry; FOGRA, SWOP 2006 and GRACoL 2006. You can make colour simulation in your desired colour space.

• Flexible colour adjustment using user adjustment curve:
  You can flexibly adjust the reproduction curve of CMYK colours. Subtle adjustment of highlights is also possible.

• Adjustment of midtones of spot colours is also possible:
  Industry standard spot colour libraries such as PANTONE^® are available. You can also correct midtones of spot colours using the adjustment curve and target value settings.

• Automatic photo correction that is adapted to the photo scene and the use purpose:
  The photo contrast and colour balance are automatically corrected. Automatic correction is also possible for colour cast that happens in indoor shooting and for the adjustment of textures such as freshness and fineness.

1. Attention lightAn attention light on top of your press unmistakably lets you know the status from a distance. LED colours are designed based on Colour Universal Design to make them identifiable for most people.

2. Specialty Dry InkA Specialty Dry Ink can be placed for underlay and overlay^* on the left and right of the CMYK Dry Ink.
     _{* Clear Dry Ink is only for overlay.}

3. Overcoat photoreceptor drumThis features the overcoat photoreceptor drum, which is designed to enjoy a long life with an overcoat treatment on the drum surface. It provides stable and high quality of images with 1.5 times the life of our earlier models.

4.  Large-diameter two-layer intermediate transfer beltThe seamlessly structured transfer belt, which provides high quality of images, enjoys two times the life of our earlier models.

• Double fly wheel:
  By suppressing the vibration of the transfer belt that occurs when paper enters the transfer belt, this feature provides stable transfer on heavyweight paper, which tends to have strong vibration resulting in uneven transfer.

5. Reliable paper feeding

• Air assist:
  Injected air feeds sheets one by one to reliably feed them.
• Multifeed detection:
  A sensor monitors paper transfer to make sure that two or more overlapping sheets are not transferred.

6. Belt-roll fusing unitThis device fuses Dry Ink reliably on the papers that runs fast. It steadily transports papers with an excellent peeling mechanism that also works for lightweight coated stock that tends to stick to the belt.

7. Monitor with improved operabilityThe monitor of the printer allows you to operate the print server as well. A monitor arm provides improved usability allowing you to operate on the monitor from different angles.

8. Steady run of papersThe paper path is designed mostly straight to achieve a lower stress on paper that runs fast. The paper path enables the steady run of heavyweight stocks as well.

• High-accuracy registration:
  This feature guides the fast fed paper to the same path to achieve highly accurate front-to-back registration.
• Deburring device:
  While papers are running, this device deburrs trim edges of papers, which damages belts, to prevent uneven printing caused by scratches on the belt.

9. Inline cooling moduleThis module is equipped with a large heat sink. The excellent cooling effect on papers having heat-fused Dry Ink helps to prevent sticking of stacked papers as well as curling and waving that hamper steady run of papers.

10. Twin decurlerThe twin decurler determines on a real-time basis the curl of each paper, which varies depends on the media type and Dry Ink coverage. This feature helps the steady run of papers by automatically correcting the upward and downward curls with appropriate intensity.

11. Full Width ArrayVarious adjustments that had to be made manually have been automated. This feature reduces the operational labour and helps to increase the uptime and stabilise the printing quality.
