The most recently installed Inca printer in the USA was in production only two days after it was delivered to Dallas digital print house The Colour Place.
Our exports have increased nearly six-fold over the past three years and account for around 83 per cent of last year's £14m turnover.
The strength of our distributor network has been key and we recognise the role it has played in our success.
Our investment in innovation to achieve quality, reliability and real production performance in digital flatbed technology has enabled our customers to stay at the cutting edge of the print industry." He added that the company has introduced six new machines since the launch of the industry's first ever-commercial flatbed printer, the Inca Eagle 44, in 2000.
The company's newest model - the Spyder 320 - was launched in April and extended Inca's product portfolio in offering the printing industry a machine for the mid priced market.
Baxter continued: "The introduction of the Spyder 320 illustrates just how far Inca has come in terms of expertise and innovation since the company was established almost five years ago.
Prior to the development of digital flatbed technology, short run printers had to use labour intensive screen-printing processes that involved more processing and resources.
Inca machines allow the industry to improve turn-around time by reducing set up and changeover as well as eliminating the processes and costs associated with analogue printing.
Our main focus in the development of digital flatbed technology has always been to produce machines capable of producing quality work with viable print speeds.
The last five years have seen the digital flatbed industry leap forward, with us at the forefront of development.
It is due to such technological advances that the print sector has seen inkjet printing becoming a real contender for the most popular methods of print." Later this year, Inca will hold an official Queen's Award ceremony at the company's premises in Cambridge (UK) where the Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire will present the company with a Grant of Appointment and a crystal trophy.
