Yorkshire-based AB Print Group has become the latest company to invest in an Acuity LED 1600, which will enable the company to meet print requirements in-house without the need for outsourcing.

James Kemp, print manager, said, 'We are a full service print production company and the new Acuity LED 1600 is a very welcome addition to our portfolio. It is an outstanding printer for fine art, detailed and delicate work and very cost-effective for low volume runs, which gives us the capability to print the highest quality print on demand and profitably.'

Mr Kemp continued, 'We deal with hundreds of client accounts across multiple sectors, so the Acuity's speed and flexibility has been invaluable as it can quickly produce a diverse range of products on a wide range of substrates. Low run, high quality labels have been especially successful, as have applications that require printing with the white ink option. We've even started printing our own business cards on them and these have made quite an impression.'

The large format hybrid UV printer converts from roll to rigid media smoothly and combined with Fujifilm's Uvijet ink, printheads and curing systems ensures smooth, high speed and sharp print on a range of substrates from PET film to conventional PVC, through to lightweight aluminium.

Mr Kemp concluded, 'We did consider products from other manufacturers when we went out in the market looking for a new UV wide format machine, but it was the combination of the Acuity's advanced technology and Fujifilm's great service that swayed us in favour of this machine.

'We have been investing in Inca Spyders, sold to us and supported by Fujifilm, since 2004, so have considerable experience in printing with UV ink and of Fujifilm's service and support. Our investment in the Acuity LED 1600 has once again confirmed our faith in Fujifilm and its products.'
