Interak Sees Productivity Boost Three Months on from Jet Press 540W Installation

Based in Czarnków, Poland, Interak is a full service, print solutions provider with a 27-year history. Producing a huge range of books, magazines, catalogs and instruction manuals, Interak has an annual turnover of more than €25 million and serves a variety of customers from major corporations to individuals, across 11 European countries.
 
Already one of Poland’s largest and most technologically advanced print houses, Interak is looking for ways in which to develop and grow its business. To that end it has been steadily expanding its portfolio of digital platforms in order to provide a wider range of products with much shorter lead times. It has also introduced a web-to-print service and offers print on demand books – even down to orders of a single copy. The Fujifilm Jet Press 540W, installed in December 2015, has proved the perfect investment to help to grow this side of the business.
 
“We weren’t just looking for a new press,” explained Szymon Symonowicz, Interak’s technical director. “We wanted an ongoing partnership with a supplier to help drive our business forward.
 
“It’s an excellent machine for printing both roll to roll and roll to sheet,” Symonowicz added. “Its productivity, at 127 meters per minute, is superb, and we have found it remarkably easy to operate. It is also ideally suited to low-volume book printing – an area of the business we expect to grow even more rapidly in the coming years.”
 
The Fujifilm Jet Press 540W opens up a range of new business opportunities by enabling the combination of short-run and variable data capabilities, making it ideal for the production of leaflets, magazines, educational textbooks, manuals and newspapers.
 
Fujifilm has used all its knowledge and experience to develop inks for use with this press which, when combined with its ultra-compact footprint, maximize the application flexibility and versatility of the machine. The VIVIDIA WP-S pigment ink range features a wider color gamut, suffers from less ‘see through’ on the page and can be used in nearly all graphic applications, using either normal offset or inkjet optimized paper types.
 
This ink range, developed specifically to deliver superb image quality, allows high-density images to be printed at high speed, with reduced ink transfer from sheet to sheet, and with high-quality reproduction possible even on thin paper. The Jet Press 540W also utilizes Fujifilm’s own screening technology, based on FM screening, which delivers smooth colors and sharp text.
