32 email: news@printmonthly.co.uk September / October 2023 - Issue 344 bination of standard and chained feeders is 12,650 sheets. Stock range is from 52 to 400 gsm2 and size typically SRA3 to A6 and a number of sheet sizes in between. Once printed, there is an even greater variation of how the printed material can be finished. Whilst the actual equipment is not uncommon across equipment, the Revoria PC1120 cleverly combines any number together. There are units for sheet declaring which it does in process, static eliminators, and tab inserters for the more mundane functions that are needed. More complex equipment such as a Smart Monitoring gate is there to carry out full print inspection. Last but not least, there are combinations of crease/trimmers, folders, and finishing stations to ensure the product goes from sheet to finished without handling. It was known we were to wait for the Revoria PC1120, but looking at it, it was well worth it. Brian Sims Principal Consultant, Metis Print Consultancy, www.metis-uk.eu this can all be handled by an automatic inline system built into the machine and its software. Further image tuning can be deployed such as Edge Enhancement which fixes image areas such as jagged edges which can make the image look less sharp where white paper breaks across. There are a number of other clever tools on the colour management of the press such as the use of fluorescent pink which can enhance skin tones on a number of levels, and as would be expected from any new machine, the ubiquitous AI is present on the Revoria PC1120. Whether the system as with all the others is truly AI, as Alan Turing would have considered it, is yet to be agreed, but the press clearly has self-learning functions that over a period of time, takes data from the production run and makes educated changes to further runs with the objective of reducing waste. As you would imagine from a manufacturer such as Fujifilm, the printer supports a number of standards such as Fogra, GRAcol and others. As for feeding this printer with colour, it goes without saying the Revoria PC1120 is very capably supported by Fujifilm’s exceptionally popular Revoria Flow PC21 printer server and supported by Fujifim Fiery PC11 Handling The Stock So much of the press itself, as expounded in the introduction, such as the scope for handling and manipulating of the substrate, is quite exceptional. There are a number of variations of feeder stations which can table a wide range of stock. Each of the different units can have different configurations of things such as air suction or air assist depending on the stock being handled. Combining and separating units in the machine can also deliver many arrangements of stock handling. Next on the variations is obviously going to be size and capacity with 2,000 sheets being standard, but then depending on what you are choosing to handle, you can hold between 250 and 2,100 banner sheets subject to the nature of the product. A maximum number of sheets in a comUNDER THE HOOD / FUJIFILM REVORIA PC1120 The Revoria PC1120 can both underlay and overlay a number of colours to enhance the four-colour process set of CMYK
