Aquafuze is described as a “monumental” development

AQUAFUZE inkjet ink technology, which combines water-based and UV curable ink for wide format inkjet printing applications. AQUAFUZE inkjet ink technology is Fujifilm’s proprietary technology for stable water dispersion of photopolymers. Fujifilm has applied its original synthesis technology for highly functional materials and particle dispersion technology. Fujifilm  has developed a new UV-curable aqueous ink by combining the formulation technologies of both water-based and UV-curable inks.

Fujifilm had its biggest-ever booth at Drupa 2024

The UV-curable aqueous ink is suitable for indoor signage and wallpaper applications, meeting the growing needs of the wide format market. It provides safe and odourless ink during printing, as well as offering a high level of rub resistance and compatibility with a variety of print substrates.Customers can produce a fully dried and cured product that’s immediately available for use, that can be laminated or applied with no cooling or degassing time. Can also use this for vehicle wrapping, and there’s no shrinking because it doesn’t use a lot of heat. The range of potential applications, including polypropylene, polyesters, and fabrics. The UV-curable aqueous ink featuring AQUAFUZE inkjet ink technology is expected to become the new standard in the wide format market, expanding the scope of customers’ business in the future.
