Fujifilm’s Acuity Triton With AQUAFUZE Ink Technology Reports Wide Range Of Immediate Benefits In Global Beta Site Test
Glasgow-based signs and vehicle branding specialist, FastSigns Scotland, was selected in early 2025 as one of the first global beta sites for Fujifilm’s new Acuity Triton printer, powered by AQUAFUZE ink technology.
As official demo sites and global beta testers, the company has worked closely with Fujifilm since then to validate the printer and ink system in real-world production environments, and are seeing major benefits in terms of flexibility, productivity and application quality.
It enables instant drying and outstanding scratch resistance, while also offering the flexibility required for applications such as vehicle graphics.
To support this breadth of work, the company required a technology that could combine precision, reliability and environmental responsibility. Managing Director Robert Lambie, saw the Acuity Triton with AQUAFUZE inks as the ideal solution.
When invited by Fujifilm to test its new ground-breaking ink technology, Lambie saw an opportunity to bring his own experience to the development of the technology, and has been working closely with Fujifilm since the installation in early 2025, testing the ink on a wide variety of materials.
Lambie comments: “Having been in the sign industry for over 36 years, I’ve worked with most sign and print technologies. Each ink type brought something new to the table, so when I was approached by Fujifilm, to effectively join their R&D team in testing this new ink technology, my curiosity got the better of me!
“The machine is very easy to run, from loading media to the RIP software – everything just works with very little effort. The print quality is brilliant: vibrant, razor-sharp, even on text only a few millimetres high. And being able to laminate prints straight out of the machine is a massive bonus.”
Sustainability is a top priority at FastSigns Scotland, demonstrated by its long-standing ISO 9001 accreditation and its current progress towards ISO 14001, alongside its adoption of print technologies designed to minimise energy consumption and support more eco-friendly production.
Lambie concludes: “We’ve been ISO 9001 accredited for nine years, and we’re now working towards ISO 14001 to strengthen our environmental responsibility. AQUAFUZE LED UV, water-based ink is a genuine game-changing technology – reducing energy use and cutting running costs, while also opening up more media options. It’s the right step for our business! ”
Shaun Holdom, Global Business Development Director, Fujifilm, comments: “Having FastSigns Scotland as early beta partners has been invaluable. Their real-world feedback during the beta phase has been important, and their results speak for themselves. This partnership has also proven the ability of AQUAFUZE technology to deliver across a wide spectrum of applications. This is a true hybrid solution that brings together the best of eco-solvent and UV ink, and it’s been designed to make printers’ lives easier and their businesses more profitable. We truly believe it represents the next major leap forward in wide format print technology.”
