Optimum combination of Minilab, paper, and chemicals

Print quality is governed by three vital elements: the minilab, the photo paper, and the processing chemicals. Developed entirely by Fujifilm, Digital Minilab Frontier ensures consistently high-quality prints.

Fujifilm's proprietary Super CCD

Film scanning is performed by Fujifilm's proprietary Super CCD, developed for the FinePix series of digital cameras. Images recorded on negative or positive film are converted to digital format with minimal loss of image information, ensuring high-quality prints.

Frontier 570

The newest Frontier 570 model is the fastest minilabs in the world for processing a single order. From initiation of the print process to finished prints, the Frontier 570 can process a roll of 24 prints (4R size) in just 2 minutes and 28 seconds. Now, instead of 1-hour or 30-minute service, your customers can receive their finished prints in minutes. Fujifilm's advanced technology makes it possible.

01. Specially developed paper and chemicals make high-speed processing a reality

Newly developed CP-49E processing chemicals and Crystal Archive Paper Type II contribute to boosting processing speed.

02. Simplified internal conveyor path

In the past, images needed to be bathed in developing and fixing chemicals for an extended period of time. With the Frontier 570, images are fixed in a short time.

03. High-speed processing technology

To reduce the amount of time required for processing, processed prints must dry quickly. The Frontier 570 printing mechanism has been redesigned, and prints require much less time to dry.
