Fujifilm has chosen Fespa Eurasia in Turkey next month for the public unveiling of the new Inca Onset S40i + white flatbed UV printer. Following the launch of the Onset S40i (CMYK LtcLtm) last year, the new Onset S40i includes a double white ink capability.
Supplied by Fujifilm, Inca’s exclusive global distribution partner, the new printer incorporates 168 Fujifilm Dimatix printheads (56 for white) on a full width print array. As a result the printer has throughput speeds of up to 560m2/hr (CMYK only) equivalent to 112 full bed sheets/hr (3.14 x 1.6m), and onto substrates up to 50mm thick. A choice of uni-directional, bi-directional and super high quality print modes can be selected depending on job requirements.
The Onset S40i with white uses Fujifilm’s Uvijet OZ ink system. As more white ink is used, compared to CMYK, when printing volume backlit/frontlit graphics, the Onset S40i with white incorporates two white printhead channels to optimise throughput.
In addition, the Onset S40i with white incorporates other features to streamline productivity and reduce downtime. These include support for Inca’s variable data Print Run Controller (PRC) software module offering advanced job management software; a 15-zone vacuum table to reduce bed masking requirements, and consequently set-up time, for ultra-thin substrates; and an auto sensor system which monitors the machine condition and informs the operator when automatic cleaning is required.
The Onset S40i with white is compatible with Inca’s flexible automation system, which offers customers the choice to operate manually, or using semi or three-quarter modes from the same configuration.
