3M’S ANTI-GRAFFITI PRODUCTS REDUCE COSTS AND TIME
3M抗菌产品
3M has launched two of its most versatile anti-graffiti wrap overlaminates yet, bringing the potential for huge cost and time savings to the rail industry.
3M已经推出了两种通用的防涂鸦外包覆层，为铁路行业节省了大量的成本和时间。
Its Anti-Graffiti Wrap Gloss Overlaminate 8588G and Matte Overlaminate 8590M are easily cleanable, highly conformable and durable, thus making them the ideal choice for use on curved surfaces and marking a breakthrough for train operators.
其抗刮光泽覆层8588G和磨砂覆层8590M易于清洁，适应度高且耐用，因此，它们成为了在曲面上使用的理想选择。
On train exteriors, the products can be used to wrap and protect all surfaces, including parts such as railcar noses, while for interiors they can be applied to everything from textured carriage walls to window frames. In train stations, they can even be used to cover textured and small brick walls.
在火车外部，这些产品可用于包裹和保护所有表面，包括诸如轨道车鼻等部件，而对于内饰，它们可应用于从纹理车厢墙壁到窗框的所有应用,甚至可以用来覆盖粗糙的小砖墙。
Able to withstand repeated abrasion from washing, both products are covered for up to eight years by the 3M MCS warranty and the 3M Performance Guarantee.
能够承受由于清洗而产生的反复磨损，加上3M MCS保修和3M性能保证，两种产品均可承保长达八年。
3M Technical Expert Tim Beyer said: “Rail operators have been crying out for wrap overlaminates that offer great stain-resistance, stretching properties and durability all in one, so we are excited to announce our latest offering, which we believe has potential to save these customers huge sums each year.”
3M技术专家Tim Beyer表示：“铁路运营商一直在呼吁为包裹层提供优异的抗污染性、伸展性和耐用性，所以，我们很高兴我们最新的产品可以做到这些，使得客户每年都会收到巨额款项。”
Graffiti costs train operators millions of pounds annually, with Network Rail alone spending £3.5million each year, while cleaning is also extremely time-consuming.
每年，涂鸦成本大约要百万英镑，加上清洁工作也非常耗时，而Network Rail每年仅花费350万英镑就能获利。
Furthermore, the number of graffiti attacks on UK trains is reportedly at an eight-year high, with 399 recorded in the first quarter of 2018.
据报道，英国列车上的涂鸦破坏率最高，单单是在2018年第一季度，就被袭击了399次。
Rail specialist laboratories, including SNCF in France, have independently tested the new 3M wrap overlaminates.
法国的SNCF已经独立测试了新的3M覆盖层。
While many anti-graffiti overlaminates must sacrifice conformability to achieve stain-resistance, the new 3M products attain both, thanks to their unique fluoropolymer blend, a composition that also provides them with an excellent anti-silvering performance, producing a quality finish even on textured surfaces.
虽然许多防涂鸦涂层必须舍去适应性这个性能，以达到防污染的效果。因此，新型3M产品含氟聚合物混合物，同时能具备这两种功能，此外，该组合物还为其提供了优异的抗银镀性能，即使在纹理上也能产生高质量的装饰表面。
Tim added: “At 3M, our dedicated team of experts is continuously innovating to push the boundaries of what is possible. These new anti-graffiti wrap overlaminates make a praiseworthy addition to our already extensive portfolio.”
Tim补充说：“在3M，我们的专业团队在不断创新，推动技术可能超过的界限，这些新型防涂鸦覆膜为我们的产品组合添加了一个值得称赞的补充。”

CSL DIGITAL INTRODUCES DURAUV INK TECHNOLOGY FOR ROLAND PRINTERS
CSL DIGITAL推出ROLAND打印机和DURAUV墨水技术
CSL Digital, a leading distributor of wide format printing technologies, inks and ancillary products, has today announced the availability of the DURAUV 1600, a new UV LED inkjet printer based on the popular Roland VersaART RF-640 platform.
CSL Digital是宽幅打印技术、油墨和辅助产品的领先经销商，近期，他们推出基于Roland VersaART RF-640平台的新型UV LED喷墨打印机DURAUV 1600。
The increasing popularity of UV ink technology in the sign, display and digital print sectors is underlined by the number of new wide-format UV inkjet printers appearing at exhibitions and trade shows over the last year or two. Historically, UV ink technology was the always associated with high end, high production printers with equally high price tags often reaching well into six figures. The more recent arrival of UV LED light curing technologies has meant that UV ink is now finding its way into the mainstream, much more affordable, roll-to-roll printers too.
UV油墨技术在标识行业越来越受欢迎，尤其在过去一两年内，出现在展会上的新型宽幅UV喷墨打印机的数量得到了强化。过去，UV墨水技术始终与高端、高价格、高产量的打印机相关联，这些打印机的价格往往达到六位数，而最近的UV—LED固化技术的到来，意味着UV墨水现在正在进入主流市场，迎合更加实惠的卷对卷式打印机。
CSL Digital has a long history of working closely with printer manufacturers to develop bespoke technical solutions that enable standard wide format printers to take advantage of latest developments in inks and inkjet technologies without the need to introduce entirely new models. According to CSL, the launch of the DURAUV 1600 printer is the culmination of almost two years of research, development and field trials with ‘beta site’ customers.
CSL Digital与打印机制造商密切合作，致力于开发定制的技术解决方案，使标准宽幅打印机能够利用墨水和喷墨技术的最新发展，引入全新的型号。根据CSL的说法，DURAUV 1600打印机的推出是近两年与“测试网站”客户共同研究出来的，同时使开发和现场测试上升到了另一个高度。
Justin Atkinson, the company’s Technical Director, explained: “The main advantages of UV inks over other inks are well documented. UV ink technology offers instant curing and good durability, whereas other ink formulations can require additional time for drying and/or outgassing. As no heat is involved in the UV curing process, the integrity of the roll media remains unaffected. This means that the DURAUV 1600 offers owners the potential to print on a much wider range of materials, including the many specialist films and display fabrics unsuited to the high heat drying systems associated with latex and solvent inkjet printers.”
该公司技术总监Justin Atkinson解释说：“UV油墨比其他油墨拥有更多优点，就比如，它能提供即时固化和良好的耐用性，而其他油墨配方可能需要额外的时间进行干燥或除气。由于UV固化过程中不涉及热量，卷筒介质的完整性完全不受影响，这意味着DURAUV 1600能为业主提供了更广泛的材料打印潜力，包括许多不适合与乳胶和溶剂型喷墨打印机相关的薄膜与布料。”
Initially, the DURAUV 1600 will be available in the standard 2 x 4 colour CMYK configuration, with mirrored print heads (CMYKKYMC), that make this printer a formidable production workhorse for any sign and print business. It will ship with the easy to use Roland VersaWorks Dual RIP, which is included in the package price.
最初，DURAUV 1600采用标准2 x 4色CMYK配置，配备镜像打印头（CMYKKYMC），这使得该打印机成为标牌打印业务的强大生产工具，它将附带Roland VersaWorks Dual RIP套件。
Nick Wintle, CSL’s Managing Director, said: “The DURAUV 1600 delivers dry and durable print that’s ready to ship, apply or laminate the second it leaves the printer. The cost savings associated with DURAUV are instant too. DURAUV inks deliver more metres per litre than solvent or latex ink technologies and by using low energy UV light, rather than power hungry heaters, to cure the inks means that day to day running costs are much lower than other printers in the same class.”
CSL董事总经理Nick Wintle表示：“DURAUV 1600提供的打印品干燥耐用，在涂布或层压的第二张打印品离开打印机后，就能随时运送，这与DURAUV相关的成本也是相关的。 DURAUV油墨每升能够提供比溶剂或乳胶油墨技术更高的米数，并且通过使用低能量紫外线而不是耗电的加热器来发挥作用，这意味着日常运行成本远低于同类产品中的其他打印机。”
The DURAUV 1600 printer is available now and can be purchased with a dedicated contour cutter if print cutting is also required.
DURAUV 1600打印机现已上市，如果需要打印切割，可以配备购买专用的轮廓切割机。
INNOTECH DIGITAL EXPANDS PVC-FREE BANNER RANGE

为了减少对环境的影响，大幅面打印供应商Innotech Digital扩大了大幅面打印介质的应用范围。
The range was launched just over a year ago in early 2017, with the introduction of the Envirotech 260 and 300gsm FR B1 PVC-free banner materials. Manufactured to Innotech’s own specification, sales of the Envirotech range have grown steadily as demand increases for a more environmentally friendly alternative banner material and, in particular, for that sold in 3.2-metre and five-metre rolls.
Envirotech 260和300gsm FR B1横幅材料系列产品于2017年初推出，根据Innotech自己的规格制造。由于市场对环保型替代横幅材料的需求增加，Envirotech系列产品的销售额稳步增长，特别对3.2米和5米卷的需求迅速增长。
“We specialise in stocking wide and super-wide rolls of media,” said Innotech’s Marketing Manager, Kieran Dallow, “and when our customers asked us for a PVC-free banner that was stable and reliable, we set about creating a product that would meet these requirements.”
Innotech的市场经理Kieran Dallow说：”我们专注于广泛的介质库存，当我们的客户要求我们提供稳定可靠的PVC-free横幅时，我们能着手创造符合这些要求的产品。“
With the success of the first two products, the range has swiftly grown and now encompasses PVC Woven banner material, which is suitable for use with UV, solvent and latex printers, as well as the recently launched PVC Décor and Exhibition & Display range, Vertex Texure.
随着前两款产品的成功推出，该系列产品已迅速发展壮大，包含适用于UV、溶剂和乳胶打印机，以及最近推出的PVC装饰和展览展示系列。
Products include a heavy-duty mesh banner for fence, scaffolding or stadium banners, and coated polyesters in grey-back, white-back and blue-back, which are suitable for use as wall coverings and roll-up banners, due to their excellent stay-flat properties. There is also a PVC-free coated polyester, FR B1 350gm media, which is designed for more demanding applications and is ideal for canvas frames.
产品包括用于围栏或体育场的重型网格横幅，以及灰背、白背和蓝背涂层聚酯，这些聚酯适合用作墙纸和卷起横幅，它们有保持平坦的极好属性。另外，还有一种PVC-free涂层聚酯FR B1 350gm介质，专为要求更高的应用而设计，非常适合用于帆布框架。
FUJIFILM LAUNCHES THE ACUITY ULTRA PLATFORM
FUJIFILM推出产品ACUITY ULTRA PLATFORM
Fujifilm has announced the European launch of a new super-wide format platform called the Acuity Ultra, which will make its debut on the Fujifilm stand (Stand D50), Hall 2.2 at the FESPA Global Print Expo 2018 that will take place in Berlin on 15th-18th May.
近来，Fujifilm推出全新超宽幅面平台，名为Acuity Ultra，在2018 FESPA全球印刷展2.2号展台上首次亮相。
Representing the culmination of extensive market research to understand the needs of super-wide format producers today and the challenges they will face tomorrow, this latest addition to the Fujifilm Acuity range is unlike anything currently available on the market. It forms a key part of Fujifilm’s industrial strategy, offering increased size and quality to make the production of high-end interior graphics much more profitable. Built around Fujifilm’s UV cured inkjet technologies, it offers almost photographic levels of quality with tighter registration and higher production speeds, at a cost that is set to shake up the super-wide format marketplace.
这款高清系列的薄膜不同于目前市场上的任何产品，它构成了Fujifilm工业战略的重要组成部分，能提供更大的尺寸和质量，使高端内部图形制作更加有利可图。加上它是以富士UV固化喷墨技术为基础构建而成，凭借更紧密的对位和更高的生产速度，它的质量几乎达到了摄影水平，其成本将改变大幅面市场。
Available in five-metre and 3.2-metre models, the Acuity Ultra is available with up to eight colour channels, using a new, high-quality, low film weight Uvijet GS Fujifilm ink. GREENGUARD approved, this ink has been specially designed to deliver the highest quality and is fully emission-compliant for interior graphic display work.
Acuity Ultra可提供5米和3.2米的型号，可使用高质量或低质量的新型Uvijet GS Fujifilm墨水，最多可提供8种颜色通道，这种墨水专门用于提高画面质量，并完全符合室内图形显示工作的排放标准。
With a 3pl drop size ensuring the highest possible quality, the Acuity Ultra is ideal for the high-end indoor display market, especially for luxury brands, with the quality comparable with litho and leading water-based ink systems. Based around conventional UV technology, it also runs at much higher speeds than LED cured machines, but as the vacuum table is efficiently water-cooled, there is not an excessive build-up of heat on the print plate, meaning no shrinkage.
凭借3pl的墨滴尺寸来确保最高的质量，Acuity Ultra非常适合高端室内显示器市场，特别是高档品牌，其质量可与领先的水性墨水系统相媲美。基于传统的UV技术，它的运行速度也比LED固化机高得多，但由于真空台采用的是高效水冷却，因此，在印版上，没有过多的热量积聚，这意味着减少了收缩步骤。
With a throughput of up to 236m2 per hour, the machine is capable of printing on three rolls simultaneously, as well as printing super-wide format graphics up to five metres in width. In addition, linear motors ensure smooth edge-to-edge printing with no vibrations at the end of the run.
凭借每小时高达236平方米的生产量，该机器能
够同时在三个卷筒上进行打印，并且可以打印宽度超过5米的宽幅面图案。此外，线性电机确保了边缘的平滑打印，在运行结束时也不会产生振动。
Kevin Rhodes, Marketing Applications Manager, Fujifilm Speciality Ink Systems, commented: “The Fujifilm Acuity series has long been known for its quality and reliability and, by adding this super-wide model to the range, we are now also offering customers a big step-up in quality and productivity. With the extra width, the option to print on three rolls simultaneously and the ability to print at high speeds with no compromise on quality, the Acuity Ultra will appeal to larger businesses and major luxury brands, helping them to boost production levels and profitability in this highly-competitive sector.”
Fujifilm公司特种油墨市场的应用经理Kevin Rhodes评论说：“Fujifilm Acuity系列一直以其质量和可靠性而赢得好的口碑，通过在这一系列中，增加这种超宽型号，我们也为客户提供了一大步在质量和生产力上的利益。凭借额外的宽度，可以同时在三辊印刷机上进行印刷，而不影响质量，Acuity Ultra将吸引大型企业和主要奢侈品牌，帮助他们继续提高生产水平和盈利能力。
A number of beta sites are already operational in the UK and Spain.
英国和西班牙已有多个测试站点投入使用。
