Gillingham, March 1st: Fujicopian Co. Ltd., the world-wide leading manufacturer of thermal transfer film, is launching a low-energy but high-perfomance thermal transfer film for flat head printers to the European market.

Osaka-based Fujicopian Co. Ltd.’s R&D Department has made some significant development in its sub-layer component of the film. This component which seats between the carrier PET film and the ink layer, determines the energy needed to release the ink onto the label; improvements in the formulation of this layer make it possible to be thinner, requiring less energy to print.

In addition to this; with standard products, the sub-layer does not transfer and remains on the carrier film. FS4 sub-layer is specially designed to transfer and settle on the top of the ink, ensuring a chemical “encapsulation” of the print, hence a higher resistance.

FS4 is an ideal product for all demanding applications, for instance tags and labels used in the automotive industry as well as other manufacturing applications. It can also contribute to energy savings and support corporations committed to cut their power consumption. In addition it allows end-users to benefit from the highest printing speed proposed by recently launched printers, up to 16 inch per second.

Fujicopian Co. Ltd., whose headquarters are in Osaka, is a technology oriented company specialising in high precision coating for printing applications in the impact and non-impact fields. Fujicopian Co. Ltd., is the historical inventor of thermal transfer in the early 80’s, in association with NTT. The group has established manufacturing and commercial companies in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and the USA. Based in Kent, Fuji Copian (UK) Ltd., is the fully owned subsidiary of Fujicopian Co. Ltd., serving the European, African and Middle-East markets.
