KIT & CONSUMABLES / NEWS Megnajet, a British manufacturer of fluid management solutions, has expanded its high-volume JetSource product range with the development of a system specifically designed for wider multi-printhead inkjet applications. The expansion of the range is designed to address the demands of OEMs and integrators for large-volume, high-duty applications. The new JetSource HFR features a two-litre fluid volume and an increased number of printhead inlets and outlets in comparison to previous models, with the aim of maximising productivity. The fluid management solution provides over 900W of heating power, allowing the JetSource HFR to quickly reach the desired temperature and ensure fast startups. It features dual heating and sensing features developed to ensure precise temperature regulation, as well as a barlevel internal bypass mode to allow for the full fluid volume to be recirculated and heated throughout the full system. The new system boasts precise pressure stabilisation and fast response to changes in print duty, using a venturi meniscus control system to ensure consistency when ejecting large volumes of fluid. Konica Minolta has announced the launch of its new AccurioPress C10500 and C10500S production presses, which complete the company’s C14010 series range. It has also unveiled another new press in its AccurioJet line, the AccurioJet 30000 digital UV inkjet press. The C10500 range is designed for commercial printers, in-house print rooms, and high-volume enterprises, designed to deliver quality output with minimal intervention. The presses utilise Konica Minolta’s Simitri V toner, which is designed to deliver an offset matte finish and low fusing temperatures. The S model adds fifth colour capabilities including white toner. Both the AccurioPress C10500 and C10500S use a raft of technology enhancements developed to streamline workflows and reduce manual intervention, including automatic adjustments and monitoring of colour profiles using the IQ-601 optimiser unit. The AccurioJet 30000 digital UV inkjet press, is its latest B2+ solution which provides upgrades to colour capabilities, production stability, and media handling in comparison to previous models. The new press follows a number of new presses released by Konica Minolta in 2025. Recent releases have included the ENHANCED version of its AccurioPress C7100 series, an upgrade to the AccurioPress C7100 and AccurioPress C7090 designed to deliver quicker turnaround times and greater media flexibility. The AccurioJet 30000 is reportedly capable of producing 3,000sph with automatic duplex printing and without the need for ink drying delays. It prints on paper thicknesses of 0.06 to 0.6mm and is compatible with specialty media including heavy textured stock, canvas, metallics, translucent stock, packaging board, and plastics. Konica Minolta has released a number of presses in 2025 British manufacturer launches new fluid management solution Fujifilm rebrands HS Series Fujifilm has rebranded its HS Series single-pass inkjet platform as the Acuity Aristo, aiming to show its evolution from a development-phase project to a commercially available high-speed inkjet solution. The presses, which are designed primarily for high-volume sign and display printing, are the result of a multi-year collaboration between Fujifilm and Spanish manufacturer, Barberán. Barberán’s mechanical technology forms the foundation of the platform, with contributions from Fujifilm including the development of a range of inks and the series’ commercialisation strategy. The newly named 1.6m Acuity Aristo HS6000 can reportedly print at maximum speeds of 6,000sq m/hr, handling sheets up to 300cm in length. The HS3000 is the HS6000’s more compact cousin, offering a reduced footprint and a slower speed while maintaining many of the press’ key features. The rebrand of the series brings the platform within Fujifilm’s Acuity portfolio, alongside the Acuity Prime and Acuity Ultra ranges, with Fujifilm now kickstarting plans for its broader global deployment. Oliver Mills, Barberán project marketing manager at Fujifilm Wide Format Inkjet Systems, says: "Rebranding the platform as Acuity Aristo marks a significant milestone, signalling its transition from research and development to a fully validated commercial product. “By combining Barberán’s mechanical engineering expertise with Fujifilm’s inkjet technology and ink development, we’ve created a powerful, production-ready platform for the ultrahigh-volume sign and display market.” Canon has announced a range of enhancements to its imagePRESS V1000 digital toner printer, designed to boost its productivity, reliability, and application versatility. The imagePRESS V1000, which reportedly has had more than 700 installations across EMEA and over 250 in EMEA in its first year, has received upgrades including a vacuum-fed paper deck, an updated user interface, and compatibility with longsheet handling accessories. The new vacuum-fed paper deck, which was added based on customer feedback, was previously available only on the imagePRESS V1350. The suction-feeding and paper separation technology delivers more reliable paper handling than previous models, particularly with challenging media.
