According to Fujifilm, the new printer offers near photographic quality printing and improved speeds. While the Acuity Advance HS maintains many of the leading design features of the Acuity HD2504 and Acuity Advance models, it incorporates a modified print-head array to achieve up to twice the printing speeds of the Acuity Advance, the company adds.

With typical production speeds of 40sqm per hour and a high quality mode with speeds of 28sqm per hour, the Acuity Advance HS will deliver more daily output than any other printer in its class, according to the manufacturer. In addition, a new “express” mode will offer billboard quality prints at up to 65sqm per hour.

The Acuity Advance HS also has a newly redesigned UV curing system which reduces heat output by 40 per cent, compared to the Acuity Advance. The HS flatbed design employs a zoned vacuum table to hold all types of media, including irregularly shaped or uneven surfaced materials. This ensures accurate registration even on multiple passes, Fujifilm concludes.
