The ‘Go Creative Showcase’ open house, will take place at Fujifilm’s showroom in Bedford, just off the A1, on the 27 to 29 September.

Taking centre stage will be the 110sqm/hr 3200R, which was premiered at Drupa. It can handle two reels simultaneously and comes with eight ink channels as standard: CMYK, light cyan, light magenta, white and clear gloss.

The 3200R is an OEM’d version of the Mimaki UJV55-320 that has been configured to run Fujifilm’s own Uvijet inks.

“The event is aimed at people that didn’t manage to go to Drupa, we had a lot of people interested in the 3200R at the show, but a lot of UK people couldn’t make it – so this event is for them,” said Fujifilm UK managing director Keith Dalton.

“We’ll also be running the Acuity [Select 38] flatbed, the new Acuity [LED 1600 II] and the Esko [Kongsberg] cutting table and, of course XMF workflow.”

The Go Creative Showcase will also play host to a number of partner manufacturers and suppliers, which will be unveiled nearer the event.

It will also serve as an opportunity for visitors to find out more about the Jet Press 720S B2 inkjet press, one of the company’s star attractions at Drupa. So far the machine has secured almost 100 installs, including the first UK machine at Emmerson Press, with a number of other UK sales expected to be announced soon.

However, Dalton said the primary focus of the event is to show how the latest Fujifilm technology can expand the possibilities of print.

“It’s a low-key selling event, it’s more about letting people come in and ‘touch and feel’ the technology to get ideas of how it could help their business,” he said.

“Everyone is welcome, it’s not going to be just an equipment event; this is a creative print workshop on how simple it is to be creative with print. So, designers, buyers and printers are all welcome – anyone who wants to open their eyes to being a little more generative in terms of product.”
