Print provider ARC UK has invested in a Fujifilm Acuity Ultra Hybrid LED printer at its Dartford site. Fujifilm said the printer has allowed the company to deliver a combination of superior print quality, greater versatility, and faster turnaround times.
The investment in the Acuity Ultra Hybrid LED has provided ARC with the tools to expand its printing capabilities, added Fujifilm. The machine’s hybrid technology supports ARC’s range of applications, which include printed packaging solutions; fabric printing; graphic design; retail displays and banners; digital printing services; and event tradeshows graphics.
ARC’s business portfolio also includes wayfinding and signage projects for brands around the globe, including Accenture, Adidas, Boston Consulting Group, PwC and Shell.
Darren Moorhouse, head of sales EMEA at ARC, commented, ‘The Acuity Ultra Hybrid LED has given us the ability to take on more jobs than ever. It prints remarkably high quality on both rigid and flexible media, and thanks to its LED curing technology, it has massively increased our throughput and transformed our business, all while lowering our energy consumption.’
Printing at speeds of up to 315sqm/hr and delivering a print resolution of up to 1200 x 1200dpi, the Acuity Ultra Hybrid LED aligns with ARC’s mission to deliver fast turnaround times all while minimising its environmental impact, said Fujifilm. ARC is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and has already achieved carbon-measured accreditation and ISO certification for environmental management. The printer further supports this mission, allowing the company to do more in-house, which significantly reduces outsourcing and the associated emissions, stated Ross Snell, vice president EMEA at ARC.
Shaun Holdom, business development manager, Fujifilm Wide Format Inkjet Systems, concluded, ‘ARC Technologies invests in the best printing technologies, which puts it in a position to say yes to any job its customers ask for. We’re proud to support its journey as it adds the Acuity Ultra Hybrid LED to its fleet of printers, further strengthening its capability to expand its product portfolio.’
