Case Studies and Testimonials

According to an article published by Grafkom on Feb 1, 2024, Scandinavian book printer Scandbook announced in early 2024 that it is installing new digital printing technology in two plants.

“The timing is perfect for this investment as our customers are increasingly looking at sustainability issues and, of course, their costs,” says Paulius Juška, CEO of Scandbook.

They chose four 27-inch FUJIFILM 42K printbars with Samba printheads to retrofit their existing press. Company officials said they believe uptime will be higher, and the stability of the technology makes it more predictable at start and stop. They also will be able to print on a wider range of book papers.

“This gives us much better control over the process, and we will be able to print on many more different papers,” said Scandbook site manager Alf Linder.

“Just having a wider selection of papers is very important right now. The market wants to be standardized, but it also wants to be flexible, as paper is such a large part of the cost of the book,” he added.

Juška added, “It’s good for our company which becomes much more stable, this will be our opportunity to create a good future.”

“There were a number of reasons we went with Fujifilm over rival systems. We liked that they fully own all the technologies – the printheads as well as the integration technology.
