Fujifilm will use Fespa Digital 2014 to show a new Inca Onset model in the Q family, which uses scaleable architecture announced at the end of 2013 to enable post-purchase printhead and ink platform expansion.
This model will be shown with full automation for the first time at a Fespa show, allowing visitors to see sheets taken from pallets directly onto the print bed.
To extend the application of the Onset platform, Fujifilm will be launching two inks at the show: Uvijet OH, which offers greater adhesion, widening application possibilities; and Uvijet OL, a low-odour corrugated ink aimed at display and secondary packaging.
Fujifilm’s super-wide format printer, the Uvistar Pro8 running with Uvijet QN ink, now boasts a new white ink that will allow users to produce posters that can be illuminated for either day or night usage.
The above will be shown beside a range of other print hardware, software and consumables.
“We’ve spent the last year refining and further developing UV inkjet inks for our leading wide format systems as well as introducing a new member of the Onset family. With the variety of options we are now able to supply, we are confident that we can demonstrate to visitors the versatility and power of UV inkjet systems that take advantage of our Uvijet ink chemistry,” said Tudor Morgan, systems marketing manager - high end at Fujifilm Speciality Ink Systems.
“For the first time at a Fespa Digital show, we will also be able to show how Fujifilm technologies can be used for light industrial applications as well as for more traditional retail jobs. This will present exciting opportunities for print service providers to extend their presence and business reach, which can only be a good thing for the industry.”
