Fujifilm expands Apeos office portfolio with new A3 colour multifunction printers

Print Solutions

Fujifilm Europe has announced the European launch of two A3 multifunction printers – the Apeos C3567 series and the Apeos C3061 series. Designed for busy office environments, the new models offer robust security features and compact design. These are now available through authorised partners in the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Slovenia, the Netherlands, Ireland, Belgiumand Luxembourg.

The Apeos C3567 series and Apeos C3061series offer a consistent user experience and common security features. This helps simplify installation and maintenance, and enables partners reduce the complexity of managing accessories, consumables and spare parts.

Kazuo Tamura, corporate vice president of Fujifilm Business Innovation Corp, said: ‘Offices need printers that are simple to use, easy to manage and reliable day after day. With the Apeos C3567 series and Apeos C3061 series, we are giving businesses a compact A3 range that supports everyday work, from secure printing and scanning to producing high quality materials in-house. It is a practical addition to our European portfolio and gives our partners another strong option for customers looking to modernise their office print set up.’

The Apeos C3567 series features a 10.1 inch control panel comparable to that of higher end models and a scanner offering 160 page per minute single pass duplex scanning.

The Apeos C3061 series features a seven inch control panel and a variety of tray configurations alongside the core functions of the multifunction printer.

By redesigning the bypass tray and paper transport path, the width of the main unit has been reduced by 13 mm compared with the previous series, resulting in a more compact machine suitable for smaller offices. Paper handling has also been enhanced, enabling the output of thin 52 g/m2 paper to thick 300 g/m2 paper, as well as long 297 x 1200 mm paper for in-house production of promotional materials.

The new series also adopts Fujifilm’s low temperature fusing toner called Elfeat. This toner reduces the fusing temperature by 15°C compared to toners used in previous series. The process of fusing toner to paper is the most power consuming process in multifunction printers, but the use of a new toner and other features have reduced TEC values. Furthermore, the shape and structure of key parts have been also reconsidered with future recycling in mind and supports a staple free finisher, while supporting Fujifilm’s wider efforts to reduce environmental impact and promote resource circulation.
