Fujifilm has been paving the way with its inkjet technology for some time now, following the launch of the Jet Press 750S High Speed Model and the 42K Printbar System, and I am delighted to play an integral part in helping to accelerate this growth further, as Fujifilm continues to innovate within this market."
