Fujifilm customers were wowed by all the inkjet technology advances shown off at a recent wide-format summit, which drew nearly 50 attendees.

Attendees from around the world packed the Fujifilm booth at SGIA Expo 2014 to see all-new technology. Fujifilm was showing off the all-new Inca Onset R40i and the Acuity F printers, each making their North American debut on the show floor, along with the Uvistar Pro-8W, the Acuity Advance Select and the Acuity LED 1600.

Representing the next milestone in the company's strategic realignment, Heidelberg is unveiling a new digital press for the growing label market. Heidelberg and Gallus jointly developed the Gallus DCS 340 digital production system for industrial label printing in less than one year.

Held at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club in Florida, the Inkjet Summit is an invitation-only, hosted event designed for senior managers and business executives from print providers and corporate enterprises that are looking to develop strategies, understand their options and make major investment decisions around inkjet printing technology.

Heidelberg is extending its digital and software portfolio and pooling activities in its Digital division. Rapid expansion is planned, with the existing range to be enhanced with new products. In addition, it has also established an Advisory Council.

The Inkjet Summit 2014 will kick off on Monday morning at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. Conference Chair Marco Boer, VP of IT Strategies, will offer the opening keynote followed by a panel of leading vendors (Canon Solutions America, Fujifilm, International Paper and Ricoh) discussing what we can expect to see from inkjet systems in the future.

To commemorate its 80th anniversary, Fujifilm Holdings has created a new corporate slogan that will be be used in combination with the corporate logo.

In a move to gain a foothold in the multi-channel publishing growth segment, Heidelberg is investing in the German software company Neo7even. The new portfolio ties in closely with the Prinect print shop workflow from Heidelberg and is being gradually integrated into this.

Fujifilm Corp., together with Fujifilm Global Graphic Systems Co., Ltd. (Fujifilm), has entered a strategic partnership with Heidelberg in the area of inkjet printing. This will allow Heidelberg to gain access to Fujifilm's inkjet technology, and Fujifilm will leverage Heidelberg's strengths in engineering and manufacturing.

Fujifilm North America's Graphic Systems Division will debut and demonstrate the latest addition to its Inca Onset family of flatbed inkjet presses. The new Inca Onset Q40i UV inkjet press can print with offset like quality on materials as large as 63x123˝ and up to 2˝ thick.
