As one of the world’s leading pioneers and manufacturers of inkjet printing equipment, Inca Digital Printers based in the UK, originally set the standards with the Eagle and Columbia printers.
Since then Inca has established a track record of bringing ground-breaking flatbed inkjet printers to the market. The SpyderX builds on the heritage of Inca’s successful Spyder 320 range, the high-performance Onset platform and the innovative Onset X Series which was launched in 2015. Designed and manufactured by Inca, the robust 3.2 m wide, six colour + white SpyderX is available as either flatbed or a combination flatbed/roll-fed model for handling rigid and flexible substrates.
The SpyderX is a powerful and versatile printer which can produce a variety of products. Using Inca Ink the printer delivers high speed (230 sqm/hr) production with sharp, pin point accuracy.
Offering speeds up to 230 sqm/hr and text as fine as three point, the SpyderX offers the perfect solution.
With approximately 25% of staff involved in R&D and supported by significant investment, Inca strives to maintain its position at the forefront of machine productivity, innovation, quality and reliability. Alongside its R&D facility, Inca’s HQ in Cambridge is home to its 3000sq foot manufacturing facility, customer support, a dedicated training facility and clean room for print head assembly and refurbishment.
A strong pedigree
With over 15 years in successful manufacturing of high end machines, the SpyderX incorporates several of the impressive features found on the market leading Onset platform.
The SpyderX has been developed as a cost effective solution for a market looking to upgrade from legacy printers. With speeds up to 230 sqm/hr and text as fine as three point, the SpyderX offers the perfect solution for companies printing small format or large format.
The automated cleaning system and on-board maintenance scheduler helps maintain the printheads without manual operator intervention, avoiding compromising on throughput and quality. A mist extraction system further reduces nozzle clogging, whilst the on-board nozzle mapping technology allows the machine to cope with deviated or missing nozzles, without slowing down production.
The operator controlled UV system increases substrate options
The operator controlled UV system of the SpyderX allows even the most delicate and challenging material to be printed. The ability to alter the level of UV improves the adhesion to the most difficult substrates. This six-zone vacuum table reduces bed masking requirements for substrates thinner than 3 mm which in turn shortens set up times, increasing overall machine productivity.
True flatbed, truly versatile
In addition to these features, the 3.2 m wide roll-to-roll module turns the SpyderX into one of the industry’s most versatile production-class printers, allowing it to produce high-quality UV print on both sheeted and roll-fed substrates. With a robust motion control system, and change over time as short as walking around the machine, the addition of the R2R system converts the SpyderX flatbed machine into a truly versatile
hybrid printer.
Inca Ink is an all round UV curable ink available for the SpyderX, offering customers a wide colour gamut, supreme adhesion and excellent flexibility. It adheres to the most difficult substrates including Dibond, acrylic and plastics while still offering excellent colour gamut – perfect for printing POP displays, durable graphics and banners.
‘The SpyderX is a powerful and versatile printer which can produce a wide variety of products,’ says John Mills, CEO, Inca Digital. ‘Not only will our customers have access to the team that designed and built these printers, but they will benefit from Inca’s 24-hour rapid response, first line and online support and technical expertise provided by our highly experienced engineers.’
