How Fujifilm’s J Press 720S Transforms Business Strategy at Color Ink

Unbelievable. Productive. Faster. These are some of the words Todd Meissner, President of Sussex, WI-based Color Ink, uses to describe things around his shop these days. Meissner’s prose comes on the heels of Color Ink’s decision to add Fujifilm’s (Booth 2013) J Press 720S into its portfolio.

“We’re taking jobs off of the 40" litho press, as well as jobs from our wide-format press,” says Meissner. “We are moving more jobs over to the J Press 720S because it makes good economic sense. The inkjet technology is unbelievable; it produces tremendous quality, and it’s a faster way to produce many of our jobs.”

With a 29.6x20.9" sheet, and an output of 2,700 sheets per hour, Fujifilm’s second generation sheetfed J Press 720S is an ideal solution for printers like Color Ink. The configuration at Color Ink is capable of printing 100-lb. text weight to 18-pt board stocks.

“When we looked at other offerings before committing to the J Press 720S, we felt there wasn’t anything that was even close, in our opinion, to the cost of ownership, quality level, and uptime,” Meissner says. “With the quality we are seeing on Fujifilm’s J Press 720S, it’s better than litho; it’s a better way to print.”
