World First Mid-Priced Flatbed At FESPA
Visitors to the Sericol stand during FESPA will see a world first, with the launch by Inca Digital Printers of the Spyder 320, aimed at the mid-priced market.
Inca's director of marketing, Heather Kendle, said: "Spyder 320 is a robust mid-market flatbed printer, which has attracted significant worldwide attention since we announced its launch in Europe.
We have already shipped machines to Europe and Australia and put its popularity down to the fact that it is in a league of its own in producing excellent quality prints at high speed." Kendle continued: "Spyder prints are quite recognisable in the market enabling Inca customers to have success in attracting opportunities from industrial sectors, especially those which require close up viewing, as well as traditional POS and sign work." Privately owned Belaire Displays bought the Spyder 320 to grow its current client portfolio, mainly made up of larger multinational chains, to incorporate business from smaller retailers that typically own less than 150 outlets.
President of Belaire Displays, Chris Shadix, commented: "The Spyder 320 has made it easy for us to penetrate this new marketplace.

Six-Colour Flatbed Digital Printer With White Ink
The forthcoming Fespa Digital exhibition in Amsterdam (Netherlands) will feature the new six-colour Spyder 320+ flatbed printer from Inca Digital Printers.
The Inca brand name is so synonymous with quality and reliability that owning one furthers our credibility as a high-end digital graphics provider." Its small format size is ideal for companies producing point-of-sale work where space may be an issue, believes Inca.
Shadix said: "We were initially drawn to the Spyder 320 because of the size of the flatbed, which measures 126" x 63" (3.2 metres x 1.6 metres).
This means the machine's footprint is small enough to slot in to our site quite comfortably, without taking up too much valuable room." Inca added that the Spyder 320 still allows rigid and flexible substrates up to 30mm thick, including corex, display board, PVC, corrugated board, glass and lenticular materials to be printed.
Access to the bed during printing is also possible, enabling multiple sheet work to be printed to precise sheet registration.
The Spyder 320 offers a number of output modes, producing claimed resolutions from 400 dots per inch (dpi) - 1,000dpi, and has a maximum output of 164 square feet an hour (50 metres).
Shadix added: "Once installed, we were amazed with the quality the Spyder 320 produces.
Its resolution is so sharp and the colours are so vibrant that we find the results better than the image quality we achieve through screen printing.
We expect the machine to be increasingly busy and plan to run it on double shifts within the next three months." Belaire Displays, which was established in 1958 and employs 60 people, intends to experiment by mixing and matching print produced on the Spyder with work produced on the company's two screen presses.
That will enable the company to print four-colour work digitally, whilst incorporating any special colours via the screen process such as white, gold and particular corporate colours essential to many commercial brand owners today, added the company.
