Data Image takes Onset S40
Leicester-based Data Image Group is one of the first printers in the UK to invest in an Inca Onset S40 from Fujifilm. The new machine will join a Fujifilm Acuity Advance HS HD3545 at the company later this month.
Alan Farfort, director at Data Image Group, said: “We saw fantastic quality print samples from the Onset 40 and once we conducted tests we realised the potential it had to move our business forward. It can produce up to 470m2 of print per hour and the configuration of the printheads means the speed and quality of output is phenomenal. We had researched the market for 18 months to find a machine like this and tests show it takes just two and a half hours to print what it takes two of our other machines 40 hours to do. This is a major increase in productivity for us, and it is proving very exciting to be one of the first printers in the UK to purchase an Onset S40.”
The Inca Onset S40 uses up to 168 user-replaceable printheads (28 per colour) on a full width print bar delivering a 27 picolitre drop size. This, combined with Inca's precision ink drop placement, produces 600dpi print quality with the option of four or six colours using Fujifilm's UVijet OB ink.
The Onset S40 will join the full specification Acuity Advance HS HD3545 with white option that Data Image Group bought from Fujifilm in April.
