Cutsheet toner has been around a while, and really fostered the adoption of digital print. These presses have been primarily in in A3 and B3 formats although this year we saw the introduction of the Fujifilm Revoria GC12500 B2 XL toner press. However, other than the Canon iX and Kyocera press lines in the A3 and B3 formats, there have only been a handful of larger format cutsheet inkjet presses available…until now! This year at drupa 2024, we saw many new B2 and B1 cutsheet presses. Here are the six that were there. Two noticeably missing (not at drupa) were the Canon B2 and Agfa Speedset, but they are almost ready and waiting in the wings.

The JetPress 750 S features next-generation Samba printheads with 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution using Versadrop technology. The JetPress 750 S runs at speeds of up to 3,600 B2+ sheets per hour (static and variable jobs) on a variety of substrates including coated and uncoated standard offset papers, canvases, robust folding boxes and some plastics.

The VariJET 106 B1 digital printing system offers the flexibility to run as a digital printing system with pre and post-coating units, or as a hybrid system. It is aimed at the emerging digital packaging market, at a resolution of 1,200 x 1,200 dpi in seven colors (CMYK + orange, violet, Green) at speeds of 5,500 sph using, food-compliant water-based inks.
