Fujifilm has rebranded its HS Series single-pass inkjet platform as Acuity Aristo, marking its transition from a development-stage project to a commercial product within the company’s wide format line-up.
To support the rebrand, Fujifilm held an invitation-only open house event at Barberán’s Barcelona headquarters at the beginning of July. The event offered attendees the first opportunity to see the Acuity Aristo HS6000 and HS3000 running in live production. Guided demonstrations and technical briefings were also held, with Fujifilm’s development team on hand for questions and discussion.
The HS6000 unit shown at the event is set to become the world’s first Acuity Aristo installation, having been shipped immediately afterwards to UK print company Linney.

The Acuity Aristo series is the result of a long-term collaboration between Fujifilm and Barberán, a Spanish engineering specialist known for its single-pass print systems in sectors including corrugated, signage, and decorative print. Fujifilm has overseen the platform’s inkjet technology, ink development, and commercialisation strategy, while Barberán has contributed its mechanical engineering capabilities.
By bringing the machine into the Acuity family – alongside existing Prime and Ultra models – Fujifilm is positioning the platform for wider global rollout, particularly in ultra-high volume sign and display markets.
“Rebranding the platform as Acuity Aristo marks a significant milestone, signalling its transition from R&D to a fully validated commercial product,” said Oliver Mills, Barberán project marketing manager at Fujifilm Wide Format Inkjet Systems. “By combining Barberán’s mechanical engineering expertise with Fujifilm’s inkjet technology and ink development, we’ve created a powerful, production-ready platform. This open house was the first time the full Acuity Aristo range was demonstrated live. It marked the beginning of an exciting next phase, as we move into installations, case studies, and wider market rollout.”
