Fujifilm sold four of the newly launched Inca Onset S40i large format UV inkjet flatbed printers at drupa, including the one on its stand. Sales were made to two German printers: Alprinta and Bachmann; plus Bergame in France, and Kenton InStore in the UK.
Alprinta GmbH specialises in POS printing. Its managing director Dr Tietze, said: When we saw the class leading quality and exceptional productivity that the Onset S40i produces we had no choice but to decide on Fujifilm. We’re delighted to have secured the machine currently on display on the Fujifilm stand at drupa, and it will only be a few weeks before it is on our premises and we will be ready to start production.’
Bachmann GmbH claims to be one of the largest traditional screen printers in Europe and has also branched out into digital wide format. Heinz Peter Bachmann, managing director, said: ‘In order to serve our customers in a timely manner we really needed a machine that we could rely on day in, day out. With the Inca Onset S40i we believe that we have found the perfect printer to meet our needs, and given the long standing relationship with Fujifilm Sericol we have complete trust in their ability to provide us with the best possible service and support.’
Peter Hughes MD of Kenton Instore, said: ‘We are a screen printer specialising in the production of corrugated board displays. In order to realise our aim of migrating print from screen to high speed digital we needed a printer that could obviously produce the work at the required speed, but more importantly at the required quality, particularly where solid line colours and colour accuracy are concerned.
‘In the Inca Onset S40i from Fujifilm we found the printer that ticks absolutely every box. The combination of speed and quality is unrivalled and the latest upgrades to the printer and the Uvijet OZ Inks will really benefit anyone who, like ourselves, prints high quality graphics onto corrugated board.’
Bergame, one of the largest screen printers in France, and the number one in POP production, has been using an Inca Onset S70 from Fujifilm for a number of years, and so when they learnt that the Onset S40i was available they decided to invest. The quality of the printing, the new functionality of the machine and the productivity were all deciding factors.
The Inca Onset S40i supersedes the original S40 model and includes new ‘intelligent’ features that increase productivity and reliability. Aimed at specialist display print companies it also offers 168 new generation, user replaceable printheads (28 per colour) on a full width print array delivering a 28 picolitre drop size.
New features include: reduced bed masking, an innovative UV sensor system, and a sophisticated substrate height detector, combined with a new Fujifilm Uvijet ink system.
