J PRESS 720SB2 SHEET-FED INKJET PRESSIt starts in the workflowQuality starts in the workflow, with XMF providing an intelligentjob queue controlling the imposition, workflow automation, and allaspects of color management automatically. Most of the time therewill be no need to adjust color settings, with 100% color registrationpossible on the first printed sheet. Manual adjustments can be madewhen necessary. The J Press 720S also takes advantage of uniqueFujifilm FM screening algorithms to produce ultra-smooth tints andhigh quality output.color managedworkflow and screeningtechnologiesIndustry leading printheads - SAMBA The state-of-the-art SAMBA print bars in the J Press 720S arefabricated using precision MEMS1 technology and can achieve 1,200x 1,200 dpi native resolutions. However, thanks to the fact that theink droplets can be reproduced in four levels of greyscale, the actualquality resolution is much higher.The J Press 720S features a new generation of printheadtechnology, with each B2 width print bar built up of 17 individuallyreplaceable modular printheads, each with 2,048 nozzles. Thisequates to 34,816 nozzles per bar, with each nozzle activated at adischarge frequency of up 100 kHz, depositing droplet sizes downto 2pl. The SAMBA print bar also takes advantage of uniqueVersaDrop technology, allowing the size and shape of each inkdrop to be precisely controlled and placed on the paper, resulting inunbelievably fine lines and text.11200 x 1200 dpifour level greyscaleinkjet headsThe newin printregistration accuracybetter than offsetMicro Electro Mechanical SystemRegistration & reliabilityQuality is nothing without consistency. Because the J Press 720Smakes use of an offset paper feed mechanism for dependability.Registration accuracy is superb. This removes one of the limitationsof current digital printing systems, where the tolerance from sheetto-sheet sometimes limits the jobs that can be run. With the J Press720S, the registration and repeatability from sheet–to-sheet aresecond to none.
J PRESS 720SB2 SHEET-FED INKJET PRESSHigh performance, water-based inkjet inkThe performance of the ink through the printhead onto the printed sheet iscritical to delivering benchmark quality. Fujifilm scientists made use of thecompany’s advanced fine chemical technologies to develop a new waterbased inks.The result is VIVIDIA - a new range of high performance CMYK ink colorsthat have each been painstakingly developed to match the SAMBA printheads and achieve the best performance on the widest range ofstandard offset papers. Ink grains as small as 0.5 trillionths of a liter,invisible to the naked eye, are discharged at high speed to deliverbreathtaking print quality. In the J Press 720S, these inks have been refinedeven further, optimizing the combined performance criteria of quality, dryingand ink rub-off from sheet to sheet.larger color gamutwater-based inksstandardqualitybleed-free inkcoagulation technologyProcess CMYKJ Press 720SRapid Coagulation Primer (RCP)To counter the natural tendency of an ink droplet to spread when ithits the paper and ensure uniform ink formation whatever the papertype, the J Press 720S applies a Rapid Coagulation Primer (RCP)prior to ink deposition via an anilox roller. The RCP features unique“anti-curling” and “rapid coagulation ink” technologies which preventpaper curl and dot gain and are a critical component in the formationof a high quality image.real-time closed-loopcolor controlHalftone dot comparison(magenta 20%)Offset AM 175 lpiJ Press 720SAutomatic Nozzle Controlpaper feederFinally, quality is further enhanced through the use of a CCD sensorwhich scans every sheet and makes any necessary alterations tothe way the ink is discharged from the printhead in real time. Theproprietary In-Line Sensor (ILS) system detects any nozzle and inkdeposition inconsistencies, modifying the printhead nozzle map andink deposition parameters in real time to correct deviations from thenorm. In the J Press 720S, this system is now mounted immediatelyafter the print bars, enabling the ILS to make any necessaryadjustments sheet by sheet.jetting directionvolumeno jet
J PRESS 720SB2 SHEET-FED INKJET PRESSThe powerful heart of J Press 720SSAMBA modular printheads are the powerful heart of theJ Press 720S. The result of many years of painstaking R&Ddevelopment and manufacturing expertise, these high performanceprintheads are now the benchmark by which all others in theindustry are judged. In the J Press 720S, the design has been furtherimproved, with individual modules replaceable in the field.
J PRESS 720SB2 SHEET-FED INKJET PRESS
J PRESS 720SB2 SHEET-FED INKJET PRESSOur second generation press engineered to produce highquality printing. Sheet to sheet, job to job, day to day.The J Press 720S has been built to produce highquality print all day, every day. The benefits of anoffset paper handling system are obvious, and takeadvantage of technology that has evolved overmany years to be ultra-reliable. But there are alsomany improvements in the J Press 720S detailed onthis page that improve quality even further, improvevariable data handling, speed up job downloads,reduce the necessity for system downtime andminimize breaks in production due to pressmaintenance.887676Sheet stackingPaper coolingInfra-red paper dryingThe final printed sheet emerges in thedelivery area in the same way as atraditional offset press.Before the sheets leave the press,they pass under another bank offans designed to optimize the sheettemperature and ink drying performance.The J Press 720S features a new inkdrying system, comprising infra-redlamps and Hot Air Knife (HAK) arrangedacross the B2 sheet width.

When thesheet is backed up, the barcode is readand the press downloads the right datafor that sheet in the 1.3 seconds beforeprinting.543Sheet scanningSAMBA inkjet headsPaper primingEvery sheet is scanned by the In-LineSensor (ILS) with the system making anynecessary alterations in real time. In the JPress 720S, this system is mounted justafter printing to ensure any adjustmentsare applied to the next printed sheet.The paper is fed onto the imaging cylinderwhere it is held by grippers and a vacuum,and four SAMBA print bars deposit theCMYK inks in a single pass. In the J Press720S, the vacuum system has been furtherimproved to enhance print consistency.The primer unit applies an ultra-thinfilm Rapid Coagulation Primer onto thepaper via an anilox roller mechanism. Thereaction of the primer and the waterbased ink produces incredibly sharpdots and vibrant images on standard B2coated paper.
J PRESS 720SB2 SHEET-FED INKJET PRESSDouble-sided variable data handling: Scan, read & pullThe ability to handle variable data isa fundamental advantage of a digitalpress, and the J Press 720S is nodifferent.This is because it takes advantage of a systemthat prints a barcode in the non-image areaof every sheet immediately after the paperleaves the input sheet stacker. Once the firstside has been printed, the sheets are turnedover and loaded into the sheet stacker onceagain. The press reads the barcode on everysheet as it leaves the stacker and downloadsthe correct page information before it printsthe second side (in 1.3 seconds to be exact),guaranteeing front and back page matching.Thanks to the introduction of newlydeveloped, ultra-high capacity servers anddata transfer system, the J Press 720S is ableto print the second side at the full rated pressspeed of 2700 B2 sheets per hour.A powerful press requires a powerful workflowFujifilm’s XMF cross media workflow is ideally placedto drive the J Press 720S due to its unprecedentedproductivity and native PDF print handling capabilities. Inaddition, XMF provides an intelligent job queue controllingall aspects of color management for the press automatically.WorkflowMost of the time there will be no need to adjust colorsettings, with 100% color registration possible on the firstprinted sheet, but manual adjustments can be made wherenecessary.
