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 new Columbia Turbo Plus is available for immediate delivery.
Heather Kendle, Inca's director of marketing, said: "The Columbia Turbo Plus provides the same diversity of printing as our Spyder but with faster productivity for those printers who typically work with larger print runs.
Customers have been asking for a Turbo that can print white and now Inca can deliver this." The Inca Spyder 320-8 Series is also on display at the show.
Its eight-ink modules allow printers to widen the colour gamut of the CMYK ink set adding combinations of light magenta, light cyan, white, green, orange and violet.
In turn, that allows a range of colours to be reproduced, said the company.
The white option enables white to be printed (overprint, underprint, or spot colour layers) using one printing press.
Inca explained that that ability ensures maximum flexibility and print speed, whilst providing accurate registration between the white spot colour and a CYMK image.
Sharp image resolution and crisp text is printed using a 28 picolitre drop on a 126" x 63" (3.2m x 1.6m) static vacuum bed with pin registration-at up to a claimed 860 square feet per hour (80 square metres per hour).
Fujifilm Sericol Uvijet inks provide a color gamut with print longevity and the Spyder 320 Q with its 10-picolitre drop provides an additional option for those customers printing high quality graphics and smaller text, said Inca Digital.
Heather Kendle explained: "Our introduction of Spyder printers with six or more ink units demonstrates that companies are very willing to invest in systems that allow them to do noteworthy work, such as matching special colours, or printing two sided signs on plexi displays-requiring white under-printing." At SGIA, the Inca Onset is also being shown, in high-speed action on a video screen on the Fujifilm Sericol stand, supported by a range of samples to demonstrate the quality of the Onset's printed output.
The Onset is Inca's latest digital flatbed inkjet printer and is claimed to be the fastest digital flatbed available.
Building on the core technology of the Inca Columbia Turbo and Inca Spyder presses, the Inca Onset prints with matt or gloss output.
Automated feeding and stacking is optional but preferable to match the Onset's capability to generate claimed throughput of up to 5,382 square feet per hour (500 square metres per hour) equating to more than 100 full, five feet x 10 feet sheets.
