Fujifilm Sericol claims the new printer enables each print
head to produce variable size droplets as opposed to traditional fixed
droplets. Droplets as fine as six picoliter are jetted to produce what the
company says are sharp, precise images with smoother transitions and halftones.

The Acuity also jets larger droplets up to 42 picoliter,
which Fujifilm says delivers denser, more uniform solid image areas, resulting
in image quality usually seen at resolutions of 1200 dpi or higher. The Acuity
delivers a high quality finish while using up to 25 per cent less ink.

Sean Carey, managing director of Ricci Signs Australia says,
"The number one use for the machine at the moment is in producing temporary signage
for our retail clients. Because it's temporary they don't want to pay a fortune
for it. That's where the real value of the printer comes through."

Carey says, "We already had machines that print onto
flexible substrates. I wanted a purpose built flatbed that printed onto rigid
substrates. The Acuity was the perfect choice. It prints on almost any
substrate – acrylic, corflute, cardboard, steel and aluminium."

The Acuity HD 2504 is the latest addition to the Fujifilm
Sericol printer range, which the company claims can meet virtually any wide
format printing need.
