AQUAFUZE inkjet ink is formulated from Fujifilm’s proprietary technology for stable water dispersion of photopolymers. Fujifilm has applied its original synthesis technology for highly functional materials and particle dispersions to create RxD dispersions. Based on this revolutionary dispersion, Fujifilm has developed a new UV-curable aqueous ink by combining the formulation technologies of both water-based and UV-curable inks.
Water-based UV inkjet inks are notoriously difficult to produce as traditional UV oligomers and monomers break down and agglomerate when in prolonged contact with a water-based solution.
After 1 month, the UV ink dispersion starts to break down and also agglomerate forming larger clumps of UV ink.
After 3 months, the larger agglomerates have started to settle out at the bottom of the ink container.
Leads to satellites, deviations, blocked nozzles = Poor print quality
Even drop placement and stability, uniform jetting velocity = Good print quality

At FESPA 2025, the AQUAFUZE technology was named a winner in the Best Waterbased Inks category at the EDP Awards*1. The jury values Aquafuze’s sustainability, low-energy drying, primer-free adhesion, scratch resistance, and safe, low-odor prints ready for immediate processing.
- *1 EDP awards: organized by the EDP Association, is an annual competition that recognizes the best digital technologies in various categories of digital printing, publishing, and converting.The awards are judged by a panel of independent experts from Europe’s 20 leading trade magazines, consisting of independent consultants, editors, engineers, and other graphic industry-related professionals who evaluate equipment and software solutions.
