Inca Digital has added to its Inca Onset series with the launch of the Inca Onset R40i wide-format, flatbed UV printer. Distributor Fujifilm will demonstrate the system for the first time at Fespa Digital 2014.
The Onset R40i uses Fujifilm Dimatix Spectra printheads to deliver a 14 picolitre (pL) drop size and a genuine 400 square metre per hour productivity. It is available with a variety of colour options (CMYK, Lm, Lc and white), with customers being able to modify their machine from a 4-colour configuration to 5, 6 or 7 colours (up to 8 ink channels – 2 for white ink). Customers can also adapt other elements of the printer, such as the UV curing lamps, automation, speed modes, electronics and software, to suit their evolving production needs.
A maximum output resolution of 1200 dpi can be produced on media up to 3.14 x 1.6 metres (123.6 inches x 63 inches) and up to 50mm (2 inches) thick, at the rate of up to 80 full-bed sheets per hour. A choice of uni-directional, bi-directional and super high-quality print modes can be selected depending on the specific job requirements.
‘The new Inca Onset R40i delivers the ideal combination of speed and quality for companies producing a mix of fast turnaround retail graphics for distance viewing but also wishing to produce high-quality graphics for short-distance viewing,’ said Heather Kendle, Inca Digital’s director of marketing and product management. ‘The beauty of the Onset Series, which now features a choice of 12 different models and three different handling systems, is that print companies can not only pick exactly the right Onset with the right combination of productivity, quality and ink options for their business, but also evolve their machine to meet their changing needs whenever they wish.’
