The new Fujifilm Digital Inkjet J Press 720 is indicative of where our industry is headed—the coexistence of offset and digital inkjet printing—and it’s poised to revolutionize the business of short-run printing. The device creates a solution for an area of the market where most printers struggle to compete and where a majority of print jobs reside.
The development of the J Press 720 represents a superior design where all of the elements – including pre-coating, imaging, drying, print head technology, and ink—fit into a single high-performance system.
Thanks to the latest developments in Fujifilm inkjet printing technology, including true 1200 x 1200 dpi print resolution and four-level gray scale capability, the J Press 720 boasts color and quality never previously seen from a digital inkjet device. With it, we’re able to dramatically improve the quality of small point text and vector graphics and enhance fine details in color images such as product photos, fabrics, and skin tones. The integrated controller incorporates an advanced color management system and color calibration capabilities that maximize color consistency without requiring excessive intervention or expertise from the press operator.
The device’s high level of print quality is achieved by utilizing Fujifilm’s Dimatix SAMBA™ single-pass, piezo drop-on-demand inkjet head technology. The wide 720mm print head incorporates high-density, long-life piezoelectric element arrays with high precision and can print high-resolution images using single-pass inkjet technology at approximately 2,700 half-size (20” x 29”) sheets per hour.

Target Market: Printers & MSPs

Benefit to Target Market:
Printers and print buyers alike are looking for more efficient production options and value added services for a wider range of applications. Fujifilm’s J Press 720 was designed to meet these needs and delivers superior, realistic and impressive image quality while also providing personalized print runs.
