A UK first for Fujifilm as Emmerson Press announces Jet Press 720S investment

Warwickshire-based digital and lithographic printer becomes the first UK company to invest in Fujifilm's new generation B2 inkjet digital press.

Emmerson Press has invested in a Fujifilm Jet Press 720S, a key component in Emmerson's strategy of investing in advanced technologies that help to create capacity for growth across its business. With the Jet Press 720S investment comes a huge opportunity for Emmerson's to move into new markets and sign up new customers.

"We're really excited about the new business opportunities that this investment is going to provide," says Sales Director John Emmerson. "The improvements in make-ready and turnaround times, the increased capacity, the efficiency savings, and the potential to profitably print bespoke, short-run jobs for high-end customers are all very exciting developments. We're also excited about all of the extra services this new technology will enable us to offer to existing and new customers."

Founded in 1981, Emmerson Press has long been at the forefront of the digital print revolution. In 1997 it was among the earliest UK companies to install an Indigo digital press - and having carefully followed developments in the B2 digital inkjet market in recent years, it has again decided to lead the UK digital market by investing in the Jet Press 720S.

"We've been watching developments in B2 digital inkjet very closely for a number of years," says Nick Fincher, Business Development Director at Emmerson Press. "So we are in no doubt that in the Jet Press 720S, we have now found a machine that can help us grow our business substantially, allowing us to offer our customers the quality they have come to expect from offset, with all the time and cost savings of digital."
