Fujifilm will demonstrate the productivity
benefits of Inca’s automation on the high-performance, wide-format Inca
Onset S20 UV printer for the first time publicly at FESPA Munich this
week (22-26th June 2010 on the Fujifilm booth B1/220).
The Inca
Onset S20 is designed for high volume, cost-effective printing on a wide
variety of materials up to 3.14m x 1.6m and 50mm thick at speeds of up
to 275 sq m/hr. As print times on this Onset can be as little as 48
seconds, minimum handling time and maximum productivity is ensured by
adding automation.
Inca’s versatile automation system
gives users the ability to operate in manual, semi- or three-quarter
automation from the same configuration. By adding automation to the Inca
Onset S20 companies can boost productivity by up to 36% when compared
with manual handling. A variety of sheet sizes can be pre-positioned
during the printing process, ready for the handling system to remove
printed sheets swiftly and load the next. In addition, the automation
system can handle up to three sheets at a time, and has the precision to
accommodate double sided print accurately.
“Production automation is important
to our customers to ensure maximum productivity and cost-efficiency with
minimal downtime in order to deliver the very best return on
investment,” says Linda Bell, CEO, Inca Digital.
Production can be further streamlined
with Inca’s Print Run Controller (PRC) software which manages the
production of an individual print job incorporating a run of different
elements or images, sizes or languages. It can also manage jobs where
large numbers of images need to be output in varying quantities with
variable elements to a large number of end users.
At FESPA the Inca Onset S20 will be
printing with six-colour (CMYKLcLm) Fujifilm Uvijet Enhance ink set
producing quality and variable finish effects (matt, satin, high gloss)
for a range of applications including display POS, exhibition graphics,
backlit/frontlit displays and outdoor signage.
Inca offers a range of digital UV
