Fujifilm to Feature New Jet Press in Live Online Event
The Jet Press 1160CF features a unique ink formulation
Fujifilm is set to introduce another of its continuous-feed inkjet presses, the Jet Press 1160CF, to the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region via a special live online event on 9 and 10 July.
The new press complements Fujifilm's existing Jet Press 1160CFG, which was launched at Drupa and also demonstrated at the Hunkeler Innovationdays 2025 event in Lucerne, Switzerland in February.
Broadcast live from Japan, the online experience will provide attendees with a detailed look at the Jet Press 1160CF and 1160CFG models – high-performance inkjet presses designed to deliver "exceptional productivity and print quality" for commercial print applications including direct mail, books, and journals.
The manufacturer said the machines are already a proven success across the Asia Pacific region, where Fujifilm has over 200 continuous-feed inkjet installations.
It added the Jet Press 1160CF features a unique ink formulation, which enables the press to print on uncoated and matt coated stocks with consistent high quality, and is suitable for transaction, transpromo, books, direct mail, and manuals.
Fujifilm said the machine has a small footprint and low energy consumption while integrating downstream finishing enables an additional level of automation to maximise productivity.
The Jet Press 1160CFG, meanwhile, is an enhanced configuration of the CF model and features Fujifilm's unique paper stabiliser technology, which is suitable for printing on standard offset stocks for high quality commercial applications, books, and magazines.
Fujifilm said attendees to the online event would see live demonstrations of both the Jet Press 1160CF and the Jet Press 1160CFG, alongside new robotic and software offerings, in Fujifilm's Future Edge Smart Factory.
The company said those watching will also gain insight from technical and business specialists into market trends and the commercial value of Fujifilm's technology, and learn from the experience of users in the Asia Pacific region already using its continuous-feed presses.
Mark Stephenson, business development manager at Fujifilm Europe, will be hosting the online event from the UK, while supporting him will be Danny Bakker, digital printing demonstrator and application specialist, and Grzegorz Szymanko, product manager for Jet Press 1160, who will both be on the ground in Japan.
Stephenson said: "We're thrilled to finally bring a wider range of Jet Press 1160 solutions to customers across our region. The technologies in these presses offer an unbeatable combination of quality, consistency, and performance.
"Whether you're printing books, journals or high-impact direct mail, these presses are designed to deliver value from day one."
He told Printweek: "Various collaborations have meant that we've focused our continuous-feed efforts in Asia Pacific. So we've been selling equipment like that for over 20 years and we've now got the opportunity to bring that technology over to Europe.
"And while it may be seen as something unexpected from Fujifilm, many wouldn't know that in Asia Pacific, Fujifilm is the market leader in continuous-feed presses more than any other manufacturer."
He added: "We've got some unique technologies to show; we want to break the mould of what's been offered in the past with new business models, new ways of offering commercially what we do, as well as technologies that other people don't have, so we're definitely worth a look."
The event will be broadcast live on 9 and 10 July at 10am BST or 11am CET. During both sessions attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions that will be responded to live.
Both sessions will also be recorded and made available after the event.
