Fujifilm launched the Vybrant UF10, seen for the first time in Africa at the recent Sign Africa and FESPA Africa expo, held from 11-13 September at Gallagher Convention Centre.
It is a true flatbed printer offering high quality printing on a range of rigid and flexible media, supported by its four dedicated vacuum zones. With high speed performance that is suitable for print volumes typically up to 7500sqm per year, this printer is ideal for businesses looking to grow their flatbed capability at a cost effective price point. It can deliver print speeds up to 16sqm per hour in Production Mode, and can be used to print on a variety of rigid and flexible media up to 51mm thick. Fujifilm’s Uvijet UV ink, combined with variable drop sizes from 7 to 21 picolitres, delivers excellent results. The ink can adhere to a range of media whilst having superb solvent resistance. The patented MicroV ink dispersion technology delivers consistent quality, reliability and a wide colour gamut. The Vybrant UF10 is available as a 6 channel printer with CMYK and 2 White channels as standard.
