Versant 3100i wins Keypoint BLI Award
The Fujifilm Business Innovation Versant 3100i Press has won a BLI 2021 Pro Award from Keypoint Intelligence, for efficient production workflow capabilities, strong colour matching performance and automated setup with minimum user intervention.
Scott Mackie, general manager, Graphics Communication Services Business, Fujifilm Business Innovation Asia Pacific, said: “This recognition has further affirmed our commitment to deliver value and unlock our customer’s potentials in the region and cemented our market leader position in this segment.”
“We are elated and proud of the recognition given to the Versant 3100i Press. It has proved its mettle since the launch in October last year with its outstanding performance of 37 per cent growth in the Entry Production Colour High category.”
The Versant 3100i has a print speed of 100 pages per minute, and 2,400 dpi output resolution. It can also handle a wide variety of paper types (long, heavyweight) and caters to diverse needs on fast turn-around when handling multiple applications, with says Fujifilm, colour consistency and colour accuracy.
The ability to conduct image quality correction and auto-registration reduces the need for manual checks and help to optimise production workflows and boost productivity in printing businesses, especially during urgent jobs and job disruption due to unforeseen events or circumstances.
According to Keypoint Intelligence, the GX Print Server 2, which powered the press in the tests, proved to be “intuitive to use and feature-rich, with an excellent media stock library, timeline viewer, and variety of remote management options".
Keypint said the Versant 3100i Press “performed impressively, delivering high levels of engine efficiency, while still maintaining an average mean DeltaE00 colour drift of only 1.8 across more than 46,000 clicks over their six production-length test runs spanning coated, uncoated, and textured stocks from 80 gsm up to 300 gsm. The device also stood out with excellent colour matching, and on the reproduction of memory colours”, where it gained the highest 5 Star rating.
