Flexibility has been one of the keys to the success of the Spyder 320, according to Inca.
The claimed minimal set up time, low print waste and the ability to print edge-to-edge directly on a range of rigid and flexible materials up to 30mm thick and weighing up to 80kg, gives the customer the versatility to handle extremely diverse jobs, said the company.
The printer is said to provide an adhesion profile and performance on a wide range of materials such as glass, polycarbonate and corex.

Flatbed Digital Printer Enables Growth
The first flatbed printer from Inca Digital Printers to be installed in Austria has been purchased by flexographic printer TEWA, which has formed a new subsidiary - TEWA Digital Print.
The Spyder 320 has been Inca's most successful flatbed printer in the company's six year history, with global sales since its launch last year exceeding all expectations, added the company.
Inca has also announced its biggest ever expansion of a single product range with several new models in the Spyder 320 series, including a new four-colour model, a six-colour printer and a Spyder 320 with a white ink option.
The new Inca Spyder 320 models have been developed in direct response to requests from customers and this has led to the launch of a modular design, which enables customers to modify the specification of their Inca Spyder printers to suit changing business needs or growth, added the company.
Inca has additionally launched a new version of its Spyder Run software, which enables a claimed top speed of 80 square metres an hour, with a production speed of 65 square metres an hour.
The new software delivers an instant upgrade in speed and can be retrofitted to existing Spyder 320 printers in the field, according to Inca.
The new Spyder 320-e is designed to appeal to a range of companies and, like all other Inca Spyder users, printers using the Spyder 320-e will benefit from the features of the original Spyder 320, such as the 3.2m x 1.6m bed, small footprint and accurate pin registration.
Inca's marketing director, Heather Kendle, said: "In essence the Spyder 320-e offers high quality at medium output speeds with greater flexibility to upgrade to any higher specification Spyder variant.
With a lower purchase price the new Inca Spyder 320-e opens the doors to printers with a smaller budget but who want to enter the high-quality flatbed printer sector." Inca believes that the competitive price of the Spyder 320-e has been achieved by reducing the speed specification, although in every other way the printer offers the same features as the standard Spyder 320 model.
In addition, customers can upgrade their Inca Spyder 320-e on-site to the specification of the original Spyder 320 or the new Spyder 320+ with white or six colours.
The Spyder 320+ model offers a modular Incaprint carriage with either white or six colours (light magenta and light cyan) in addition to the CMYK set.
The new six-colour printer is designed for closer viewing output where there is a requirement to reproduce flesh tones with a flawless appearance and smoother light colours and graduations, said Inca.
The company's registration system has allowed it to develop the Inca Spyder 320+ white variant with the capability of printing white ink before, during or after printing the CMYK set, which is a decision made by the user at the RIP stage.
The company added that the combination of linear motors and vibration-free air bearings, means a smooth and rapid positioning of the print carriage and accurate ink drop placement.
The small ink droplet size results in a sharp image resolution and crisp text.
Inca added that the pin system makes placing materials on the table straight forward and results in an accuracy that copes with double sided printing and highly accurate work, such as lenticular printing.
With a moving print carriage and static vacuum table, access to the substrate is straight forward, before and during printing, it is claimed.
Heather Kendle commented: "We're delighted to be showing the Spyder 320 to the New Zealand print industry, where we believe it will be ideally suited to the market requirements.
There are Spyder 320 printers in operation in more than 12 countries, including the USA, Australia, Sweden, Canada, UK and France." She continued: "At least 10 of these customers already had an Inca printer and saw the Spyder as a means of giving them the potential to enter new digital markets, such as those that require close-up viewing, including industrial sectors, such as gaming and vending machines, and products fabricated from metals and plastics.
The range of applications is enormous.".
