Four Fujifilm Products Win PRINTING United Alliance 2024 Pinnacle Product Awards

HANOVER PARK, Ill., July 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Graphic Communication Division, announced today that its FUJIFILM J PRESS 750HS, FUJIFILM REVORIA PRESS PC1120, and FUJIFILM ACUITYTM ULTRA HYBRID LED presses and its FUJIFILM REVORIA XMF PressReady digital production workflow have earned PRINTING United Alliance’s 2024 Pinnacle Awards in the Digital Press and Technology categories, respectively.  

Open to all PRINTING United Alliance supplier members, the Pinnacle Product Award competition evaluates products that are available for sale in 2024. A highly qualified panel of judges across the printing industry evaluated the annual contest’s 160+ entries in 58 categories spanning analog, digital, output, and non-output technologies.

“Building off the 2023 Pinnacle Award wins for two of our J PRESS products, we’re excited and proud to have been recognized again by the PRINTING United Alliance for our J PRESS products and also products from our REVORIA and ACUITY lines as well,” said Hidetoshi “Toshi” Kino, general manager, FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Graphic Communication Division. “With one of our software solutions also recognized this year, Fujifilm’s commitment to continuous innovation in print remains evident. We’re continuing to develop products not only with the finished printed piece in mind, but also the print service providers who seek and deserve the latest in print quality and efficiency.”  

Output devices are judged by measuring press generated color charts and then comparing them to industry specifications. As part of the PRINTING United Alliance Pinnacle Awards’ evaluation process, Fujifilm provided prints that were output utilizing Fujifilm’s patented COLORPATH Sync Cloud Color Management Solutions. The COLORPATH Sync system's unique optimization technology, along with Fujifilm’s new Brand Color Optimization technology optimizes the output by iterating color profiles over a number of press runs, enabling optimal performance and output from the press.
