Next generation 4 and 5 colour mid-range printers.
The Revoria Press SC285 & SC285S printers incorporate a range of advanced technologies for groundbreaking performance, quality and application versatility. The Revoria SC285S also heros a fifth colour to print wider colour gamuts and speciality effects, to help you stand out in an increasingly demanding market.
The Revoria SC285 & SC285S bring next generation performance and the benefits of 5 colour printing to help you differentiate your business.
With Super EA-Eco toner, particle sizes have been reduced to be the smallest in the industry, with the toner particle shape standardised to enable the super-sharp rendering of detailed characters and fine lines.
In addition, gradations, halftones and midtones are reproduced more smoothly and dot shapes more faithfully, delivering exceptional print quality.
The Revoria Press SC285 & SC285S benefit from a high resolution LED printhead, which produces incredible, high definition print:
Delivers high resolution output for sharp lines and images, enabling high-definition printing.
The size of the LED printhead has been reduced to 1/12 of the size of the previous generation VCSEL-ROS used previously. Since there is no motor, it consumes little power, makes no noise, and means image reproduction is incredibly stable.
In order to achieve the high image quality required for production printers, we have improved and further evolved the development and transfer unit and associated technologies.
The Revoria Press SC285 & SC285S incorporate an optional Smart Monitoring Gate D1 which monitors the colour and front to back registration of print jobs as they are being printed.
The Revoria Press SC285 & SC285S are capable of printing up to 85ppm A4 CMYK, and up to 47ppm for A3 CMYK. This speed is achieved for all media weights of between 52g and 400g.
The use of a new Bias Transfer Belt (BTB) system instead of the conventional Bias Transfer Roll (BTR) ensures paper transport is more stable, and therefore reliable, and allows a wider range of applications to be printed. The new system automatically adjusts the nip pressure according to the thickness of the paper, improving the transfer of toner. This mechanism is new in the Revoria SC285 & SC285S and produces superior print quality, particularly on embossed paper.
Fujifilm has equipped the SC285 & SC285S with a flywheel that provides an inertial force to the transfer belt roll for stable driving. The rotation of the flywheel and inertial force suppress the vibration of the transfer belt, enabling stable transfer of media even for heavyweight paper.
Deterioration of the developer is one of the reasons why print quality can be unstable over a period of time. In conventional horizontal marking modules, some of the developing material that has been used once can find its way back to the development roll again, potentially affecting the print quality.
In the new vertical development system used in the SC285 & SC285S, the condition of the developer material is refreshed before it is fed back to the development roll. In this way all the developer used is always perfectly conditioned and fresh, which is why the Revoria SC285 & SC285S print so beautifully over time, and particularly on thick, rough and embossed papers.
A range of advanced marking technologies have been introduced in the Revoria Press SC285 & SC285S that have improved paper handling capabilities, extending the variety of applications that can be printed, and increasing machine uptime across a wide variety of substrates.
The newly developed Advanced Single Layer Belt (A-SLB), secondary transfer load switching mechanism, and toner condition stabilisation technology, have greatly improved the transfer of toner to embossed and thick paper.
By improving both image formation and image transfer technologies, we have improved the print quality achievable on plain and rough paper. In addition, we have developed an optimal transfer electric field stabilisation technology for each paper type, improving the ability to print uniform densities.
Two new paper transfer technologies result in industry-leading paper handling capabilities for thick paper and envelopes. Both these new technologies mean thick paper and envelopes are can be printed wrinkle-free consistently:
New secondary transfer load switching mechanism changes the pressure to hold the paper according to the paper thickness
New transfer torque variable mechanism stabilises the paper feed
The use of a belt-type transfer device, rather than roll-type, improves the versatility of printing on thin paper.
By blocking the area outside the paper path with a shutter, the paper adsorption is enhanced and the stability of handling postcards through the printer is improved.
The optional Static Eliminator D1 provides a remarkable static elimination effect on a wide range of media, including single-layer film, synthetic paper, water-resistant paper, and tack paper.
The charge can be adjusted from 0 to 99, and can also be set while the press is running.
A compact, built-in decurler judges and automatically corrects the paper curl caused by the type of paper or the image density, one page at a time in real time. High quality output with stable paper travel and curl suppression is possible.
The optional Interface Decurler Module D1 offers easy additional curl correction steps, saving the time required for curl adjustments where the printing media is changing frequently.
The optional Air Suction Feeder improves the feed performance of paper with a lot of paper dust, pre-printed paper using powder, paper with an uneven texture, and coated paper. A stable and high-speed feed is achieved for various paper types, from lightweight to heavyweight, small-sized paper and banner sheets.
The shuttle head draws up the paper strongly using a small amount of air, separating and delivering each sheet reliably. The active head avoids friction on the paper surface, which can be a problem with other suction feeding technologies.
The Revoria Press SC285 & SC285S are equipped with a number of energy saving features, for example the LED printhead and Super EA-Eco toner, to minimise energy consumption during printing.
The printers have also received ‘Superior De-inkability’ certification from the renowned industry-body INGEDE, meaning toner can be easily removed from print produced by the presses. This ensures that any printed output can be more easily recycled, further enhancing the sustainability credentials of the presses.
The print outputs of the Revoria Press SC285 & SC285S were tested according to INGEDE Method 11 and assessed according to the ‘Assessment of Printed Product Recyclability – De-inkability Score’ (EPRC 2017).
The total score is 100/100 achievable points
The Revoria Press SC285 & SC285S incorporate a completely new ‘Vertical Development System’, along with an ultra-compact LED printhead. The result is a 5 colour press which is the same size as its 4 colour predecessor, the Revoria Press SC180/170.
A clear toner allows you to highlight specific areas of print with a perfectly registered varnish-like effect, to add an extra dimension to produce creative, personalised print. It can also add a touch of luxury to subtle patterns and backgrounds too, and also brighten up images printed in CMYK.
Embellishments can be created, such as glossy or textured designs, and the clear toner can also be used for watermarks and background designs where there is a requirement to make them more difficult to copy. Clear toner can also be integrated with CMYK print as well, to achieve a shine integrated with CMYK (a smoother effect) as well as a varnish-type effect.
The Revoria SC285 & SC285S allow you to provide higher quality, added value print by utilising the speciality toners as a fifth colour, together with CMYK. These speciality toners can be printed as an overlay to CMYK, and can all be easily and quickly replaced by the user.
With CMYK + pink, the colour gamut of red and blue tones are expanded, and more vivid colours can be printed. In particular, vivid oranges and blue-violets that could not be reproduced by CMYK alone can be printed. It also means it is possible to produce print that more closely matches RGB colour.
In addition, turning on the “Use Specialty Toner in RGB Simulation” function will print pink, orange and purple colours brighter and more vivid, bringing thecolours even closer to those displayed in RGB on a monitor.
Skin tones of any hue are smoother with noticeably reduced grain when you add pink toner to the mix. In addition, a unique feature in Revoria Flow “Use Pink Toner to Brighten Up” allows skin tones to be printed more vividly and beautifully.
