November 22, 2022

SINGAPORE, November 22, 2022 — FUJIFILM Business Innovation Asia Pacific introduces the Jet Press 1160CF, a high-speed continuous feed colour inkjet printing system for the transactional printing and publishing markets. Equipped with the highest printing speed and printing density in its class^*1, the product will be available to the Asia Pacific^*2 region in stages starting from November 2022.

Jet Press 1160CF

Transactional print, such as statements, invoices or personalised direct-mail communication is required to be on time, and short run publishing is driven by time to market, both are produced in a narrow production window. The technology now must be able to complete high-volume, highly versioned printing jobs quickly and intensively. With greater data availability, the demand to personalise customer preferences and interests onto transactional print statements and create short run, or personalised publishing is increasing. Printers must now be able to accommodate complex data combined with high quality graphic images at high speed with great complexity.

To meet these demands, the new Jet Press 1160CF offers two advance printing modes: the speed priority mode and the image quality priority mode. The speed priority mode^*3 prints at top class speed of 160 meters per minute (equivalent to 2,096 pages per minute on precut A4 paper), which is 1.6 times faster than the previous model^*4. The image quality priority mode^*5 prints at a high resolution of 1,200 x 1,200 dpi. The newly developed high concentration pigment inks available in both modes, enable the highest printing density in its class^*6, producing sharp and vivid printouts especially images with text and numbers.

Key features

Equipped with high image quality and speed options

• Users get to enjoy vivid print quality of 1200 x 1200 dpi at a print speed of 80 meters per minute.
• Dual speed and quality level selection with 1200 x 1200 dpi at 80 meters per minute (image quality priority mode) or 1200 x 600 dpi at 160 meters per minute (speed priority mode).
• Utilises newly developed high concentration pigment ink to print high density output.
• Adopts Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to optimise image with newly developed print server.

Support fast turnaround for heavy variable print data

• Speedy turnaround time with new printing speed that is boosted to 1.6 times that of the previous model while retaining the compactness of its predecessor^*7 without the need for additional space.
• Newly developed print server can handle quick conversion of output data and printing simultaneously. This reduces the time required for pre-printing data generation, which shortens the overall printing time.

Efficient operational support

• Minimise transition time by seamlessly migrating print jobs and adopt different types of applications through the dedicated FUJIFILM Business Innovation specialists.
