The Revoria Press EC1100, mainly targeting both commercial printing and quick printing, prints at 100 pages per minute, whereas the Revoria Press SC180 / SC170 prints at 80 pages and 70 pages per minute. The three new models are highly versatile and can handle a broad range of paper weight, from 52g/m2 to 400g/m2, and various paper sizes from small sized paper of 98x148mm to banner sheet of 330x1200mm.

The optional Air Suction Feeder improves feed performance of all media, including paper carrying a lot of paper dust, pre-printed paper using powder, paper with uneven texture, and coated paper that is prone to poor feeding. Stable and high-speed feeding is achieved for various paper types, from lightweight to heavyweight, small sizes to long banner sheets.

The new models also have new color management features to produce accurate color consistently with less operator involvements.

The Revoria Press EC1100 and Revoria Press SC180 / SC170 offer a newly developed color management feature, “Color Profile Maker for Display,” which can match colors accurately by adjusting the colors on the monitor to match the printed output.

The Revoria Press SC180 / SC170 have a new feature that can scan previously printed materials from the same or other presses to reproduce consistent color when reprinting. Colors are matched easily and effectively when reprinting while reducing errors and wastage by allowing color matching of reprints by scanning an existing printed material regardless of previous print technology; thereby further providing a simple yet powerful experience to the user.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) automatically reviews the scene for each photograph on the page and corrects it. Each photograph will be automatically enhanced based on its existing lackluster conditions such as image being too dark/too bright, backlight exposure, correction of skin tones, and bringing out the hues in blue skies.

Revoria Press series features

The print server, Revoria Flow, performs RIP processing at 1,200 dpi and 10-bit color, generating high-quality image data. Along with Revoria Flow, Fiery servers will also be available for the new presses at a later date. With Revoria Flow and Fiery print servers, two choices of print servers will be offered to fit the print workflow for every customer. A versatile lineup of in-line post-processing options caters to creasing, saddle stitching, three-way trimming, and square-back finish for saddle stitch binding, thus contributing to diverse printing production.

One feature available in Revoria Press EC1100 is the in-line sensor that automates color calibration and front and back registration alignment.

In the Revoria Press SC180 / SC170, the presses are equipped with copy and scan functions for office. Featuring the SIQA function, this involves
scanning a calibration chart to automatically correct image quality, to streamline processes such as registration mark alignment and uneven color
correction.

To allow customers to enjoy business continuity, Production Remote Services delivers responsive assistance and implements preemptive measures via remote connection to customer’s support systems and tools. The customer’s production environment is further enhanced with improved machine dependability, uptime and productivity, and auto updates of firmware.

With the introduction of the Revoria Press EC1100 and Revoria Press SC180 / SC170, Fujifilm Business Innovation now offers a comprehensive portfolio of the Revoria Press series targeting various segments and needs, spanning mono printers, entry-level production color printers to
high-end production color press with specialty colors.
