Digital convenience, no compromise on quality

Print up to 200 B1 format sheets per hour and switch between jobs swiftly. Produce print that doesn’t need lamination or varnishing, and finish or ship immediately, as sheets come off the press cured. And deliver excellent print quality to demanding customers with an eye for detail.

Cost-effective, high-quality short runs

The Acuity B1 eliminates the pre-press and setup costs of offset and screen, and also reduces overprints and waste, especially important when working with thicker materials such as plastic and metal. Short runs become much more cost effective, and you can also offer high quality samples and one-offs.
