FUJIFILM Speciality Ink Systems (FSIS) is a global leader in the development of inkjet systems for wide format applications, for distribution worldwide through Fujifilm sales channels. FSIS also develop UV inkjet inks for industrial and wide format OEMs directly.
FUJIFILM Speciality Ink Systems' core skill is ink design, with an unmatched understanding of ink chemistry, print applications, media, printheads and UV curing. Fujifilm’s design capability encompasses R&D resources, a legacy of ink formulation and vast manufacturing experience.
Continual investment in research and development enables Fujifilm to keep up with the rapid advances in inkjet printing technology and deliver ink systems that fuel some of the world's most powerful wide format printers.
A high speed digital printer may have to place billions of droplets of ink accurately, every second in order to form a high resolution image at production speed. The demands on printheads and ink performance are very high and so formulations must meet precise performance specifications.
When designing an ink, our chemists consider properties like printed finish, adhesion to the printed material, flexibility and finishing, while controlling particle size, viscosity and surface tension to produce inks that jet reliably.
Inks are rigorously tested in the laboratory and in production environments where prints are tested for jetting reliability, print quality, production performance and weathering to ensure they meet Fujifilm’s stringent performance and quality assurance standards.
A central research and development team is situated alongside the manufacturing facilities in Broadstairs, UK, supported by two facilities:
The manufacturing facility at FUJIFILM Speciality Ink Systems’ Broadstairs site occupies 8000m2, with an additional 4000m2 of finished product warehousing space.
Fujifilm uses a sophisticated manufacturing process where the need for consistent high quality permeates the entire production process.
Inkjet ink production is carried out in a process controlled, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. This recognises the equal importance of both the ink formulation and the production process, and provides controls over every aspect of manufacture to ensure consistency.
FSIS has invested significantly in alternative methods of reducing its environmental footprint at its manufacturing site.
This work has played its part in FSIS being accredited to the Environmental standard ISO 14001, in addition to the Quality standard ISO 9001 and twice being awarded the Best Process Plant ‘Best Factory Award’.
FUJIFILM Speciality Ink Systems produces inks and consumables for a variety of print processes and distributes a range of class-leading wide format printer systems. Please use the links below to see the full range of products available:
