Showcard Print, a provider of POP applications for the retail market, has spoken about being the first European company to install an Inca Onset S50i.
The digital, offset and screen printer is a long-standing Inca customer, having originally installed an Inca Turbo, which was replaced by the Onset S70 in 2007. Operations director Kenny Harper said that when Inca and Fujifilm started the development of the Onset S50i, Showcard Print welcomed the idea of becoming the beta site.
“When we learnt about the new Onset S50i, we thought that this model would be ideal to satisfy our specific demands and give us extra digital print capacity. We agreed to be the European beta site for the machine to help Fujifilm and Inca with the testing process and support further development. Our first impression was the right one. Following a beta testing period running from May to August 2013, the Onset S50i has been signed off for full production and we’re extremely pleased with the results achieved so far.”
Harper added: “We print on a variety of materials, ranging from paper to fluted board and PVC, and it’s crucial to gain outstanding performance on all of them. The Fujifilm Uvijet OZ inks used on the S50i are extremely flexible and enable us to fold, crease and cut different printed media. This is great, as we can now guarantee a high quality production workflow from print to finishing.”
