Blink and you’ll miss it - the fastest mini-lab in the world

Just when you thought our digital mini-labs couldn’t get any better, we’ve launched a faster, smaller, more efficient model than ever before - the Fujifilm Frontier 570.


With a processing time of just two minutes and 24 seconds for 24 prints and a dry to dry processing time of one minute and 22 seconds, the Frontier 570 is capable of producing 1,800 great quality 6"x 4" prints per hour - making it the quickest mini-lab in the world.

As if that’s not enough, the Frontier 570 has been designed with size in mind. With a combined input/output footprint of 1.84m2 it is roughly 10 percent smaller than the Frontier 375. To save even more valuable space, the output unit has three-sided maintenance access resulting in a 40 percent reduction in installation space.

The Frontier 570 has a number of additional benefits aimed at generating more sales and profit opportunities too. It is the first Frontier able to process 12" wide prints with a maximum size of 12"x 18"- a significant increase on the capability of the Frontier 375. It also has fully automatic red-eye correction removing the need to manually detect and alter the problem.

New High Volume Frontier Chemistry

As well as developing new products, Fujifilm’s technical team constantly tests new technology aimed at making life in the lab easier. Recently, we’ve reviewed our chemistry formulations and, as a result, have launched new Fujifilm Frontier product called CP48HV. CP48HV is designed to get the optimum performance from our Frontier 330, 350 and 370 digital mini-labs. Its formulation was designed with high volume labs
specifically in mind and will enable the Frontier 330, 350 and 370 to work more efficiently while maintaining the same high quality output. Also, we’ve reduced the levels of hazardous components - meaning health and safety benefits for Frontier users.
