The new sheetfed inkjet B2 Fujifilm Jet Press 750S has received Fogra accreditation for contract proofing.
The validation includes Fogra 51 and Fogra 52 accreditation for premium coated and uncoated wood-free substrates respectively. It also has the ISO 12647-7 standard for contract proofing.
The Fogra testing took place at Fujifilm’s Advanced Print Technology Centre in Brussels using its XMF ColorPath colour management software. The process included: PDF/X conformance; proofing substrate colour; gloss and fluorescence; colour gamut accuracy; uniformity, permanence and light fastness; fading; long- and short-term repeatability; rub resistance; colorimetric tone value transfer; tone value reproduction limits; image register and resolving power; and margin information.
With wide format machines making up the other Fogra accredited proofing devices, Fujifilm has claimed a first for the Jet Press 750S as the first B2 sheetfed to receive the certification.
Fogra says that with tests carried out on coated and uncoated offset stocks, coated inkjet paper, canvas and synthetic paper, the Jet Press consistently met or exceeded the required standards. Yuan Li from the Fogra Research Institute for Media Technologies, says, “We were impressed with the consistency and quality of results produced by the Jet Press 750S. Only printing systems with the highest level of performance could pass tests like these.”
The Jet Press 750S has also received Digital Press Certification and the ISO/PAS 15339 Master Elite Certification from US-based graphic arts think tank Idealliance.
