Each year, a panel of independent experts of the European Digital Press Association reviews printing products that are new to the European market, evaluating them in terms of productivity, quality, usability, cost, and environmental impact – granting awards to the most groundbreaking ones.
This year, Fujifilm Business Innovation secured awards in the following three categories:
Inks & Substrates, Best Water-Based Inks Award: AQUAFUZE
Drawing on more than 70 years of ink development history, AQUAFUZE is a water-based LED UV inkjet technology built on a unique photopolymer and intelligent dispersion. The UV-curable aqueous ink combines the formulation technologies of both water-based and UV-curable inks, effectively negating previous challenges associated with breaking down UV oligomers and monomers, which would cause poor prints and head blockages. Used in the 1.6 m-wide Acuity Triton, which was launched at FESPA Global Print Expo 2025 in Germany, the AQUAFUZE technology delivers new value in wide-format inkjet printing, by providing safe, odourless ink with high durability during printing, and offers excellent rub resistance and compatibility with a variety of print substrates.
Commercial Printing, Best Cutsheet Printer (up to B3 < 250,000 A4/month) Award: Revoria Press SC285S
A mid-range toner-based press in Fujifilm Business Innovation’s Revoria Press series, the SC285S is suitable for a range of commercial applications with high-quality CMYK printing made possible through Fujifilm’s Super EA-Eco toner, particularly renowned for the quality of its metallic colours. The specialty toner station enables five-colour printing in one pass, with versatile paper handling and advanced post-processing capability as well as offering a full range of office-ready copy and scan functions designed to enhance business quality and efficiency.
