FUJIFILM Integrated Inkjet Solutions

Fujifilm has a range of products for inkjet integration including the ultra-compact Mini 4300, the scalable 42K Printbar System, and a four-color option called the 12K Printbar System. Also, legacy continuous inkjet printbars for direct mail and transactional printing can be replaced with the 42X Printbar System designed specifically for easy transition from older add-on technologies.
“As part of SumnerOne’s broad service offering, our recent acquisition of PPS enables customers to maximize the investment they have made in their Fujifilm print solutions,” said Edmund Sumner, co-president of SumnerOne. “PPS has a broad network of service locations where over 70 highly skilled service technicians are supporting specialized, high-volume continuous feed systems and complex finishing setups involving tailored print head solutions. This service approach is highly targeted to the complex print manufacturing needs of clients operating in very high-volume sectors.”
By partnering with Fujifilm, SumnerOne broadens its production mono and color offerings, as well as wide format inkjet solutions , while enabling PPS to offer a comprehensive portfolio of advanced industrial print solutions designed specifically for ultra high-volume production customers including B2, roll fed and hybrid digital/analog solutions with integrated inkjet printbars d for cases where inkjet presses simply won’t fit. For the initial part of the Fujifilm and SumnerOne/PPS partnership, both companies will closely collaborate on inkjet solutions in the B2 and continuous feed arena.
“We’re very excited to partner with Fujifilm on this critical strategic initiative, as we have seen the success that Fujifilm’s production and industrial print solutions have had across the world,” said Liz Sumner, Co-President of SumnerOne. “With the service prowess of PPS in high-volume production and industrial print, this collaboration makes the three complementary organizations a truly unique synthesis of best-in-class innovation, customer-centricity and dedication to service. I think it’s an ideal partnership for all involved.”
To celebrate their new partnership, Fujifilm and SumnerOne will be cohosting their first production print and industrial print open house at Fujifilm’s Graphics Innovation Hub within its North American headquarters in Hanover Park, Illinois, on April 8 and 9, 2025.
