The J Press 720S is a sheetfed inkjet press that has the quality and robustness of an offset press as well as the versatility to handle short press runs. The J Press 720S has a 29.5 inch x 20.9 inch sheet size and runs both coated and uncoated standard offset stock, with full support for variable data and personalization.

“The Fujifilm J Press 720S has had strong success in the B2-format digital print category,” said Jeff Hayes, managing director, Keypoint Intelligence (InfoTrends). “A combination of high quality levels and a rugged design has made the J Press popular, particularly with commercial printers.”

According to InfoTrends, placements of B2 format digital printing devices will grow at a CAGR of 17.4 percent from 2016 to 2021 in the U.S. and Western Europe(1). Through this dealer agreement, Xerox will expand its industry-leading cut-sheet portfolio and be part of the continuing growth in this segment.

“This agreement expands an existing and successful long term dealer agreement between Xerox and Fujifilm,” said Todd Zimmerman, division president, FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Graphic Systems Division. “It leverages each company’s strength and presence in both graphic communications and large enterprise printing operations.”

Additionally, Fujifilm is expanding its inkjet product portfolio through its existing production color reseller agreement with Xerox.
