A&M Printing, Inc. Sees Growth With Fujifilm UV Flatbed Printer Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, print ser- vice provider A&M Printing, Inc. saw an immediate growth in their business after adding the capability of printing on corrugated boards with the exclusive high flow vacuum table on the Fujifilm Acuity F series high productivity UV flatbed printer. As the digital large format print business continued to increase due to more customization and shorter runs, A&M needed to address current customer needs for larger runs on corrugated boards. The Acuity F67 with a double bed supplied A&M additional print capacity with higher speed. The Acuity F is the most productive printer in the Acuity series with a maximum print speed of over 1,600 square- feet per hour activating six printheads per color channel with a total of more than 27,000 nozzles. Five years ago, Leo Lam, A&M’s President, saw growth in their clients’ need for large format print related to trade shows, POP graphics and winery promotional items. Lam partnered with Fujifilm for his first Acuity flatbed solution because of the quality products and high level of support he’s experienced as a Fujifilm customer of more than 20 years. “We are successful because of partners like Fujifilm,” said Lam. “You have to work together in order to be able
to succeed. Before we bought the Acuity F67, we actually had to run three shifts around the clock in order to keep up with those demands. It’s amazing how fast we can turn around projects now with the F67. Without this machine, I would never be able to keep those orders and make my customers happy.” This is the first Acuity F with a high flow vacuum table installed in the U.S. The high flow vacuum provides more than 15x the standard airflow, and is engineered to draw down and hold down distorted, warped sheets of rigid me- dia like corrugated boards. Its pneumatic registration pins minimizes operator involvement and allows for quick, easy and accurate positioning of material and loading in perfect register, maximizing productivity. A&M prints on multiple types of corrugated boards with different flute and board sizes. “Some materials come in really warped, curvy or curled. It’s so inconsistent,” added Lam. “I can’t say enough good things about the high flow vacuum table on the F67. Typically we just throw the mate- rial on the bed, push a button and then zoom, it just pulls it down and we print.” The high-flow vacuum also eliminates the need for taping materials down, making the printing process more productive and efficient.
