Inca to display updated Onset S20 UV at Fespa

Edited by the Printingtalk editorial team Mar 18, 2010

Inca Digital will demonstrate an enhancement to the wide-format Onset S20 UV inkjet flatbed printer at the Fespa exhibition.

It will highlight the expanded gamut capability of the Onset S20, using Uvijet Ultratone ink to increase quality perception.

When coupled with Inca's use of 28 picolitre drop printheads, this produces smooth colour transitions, reducing the graininess of light colours and producing smooth skin tones.

This capability is critical for closely viewed point-of-sale advertising, particularly for high-value cosmetic and fashion products.

Inca said that the Onset S20 enables print-service providers to offer print volumes on a variety of materials with shorter turn-around times at competitive prices.

Following its launch last year, Onset S20s are in operation across Europe, and Inca added that buoyant sales are continuing, as companies invest to enhance their production capabilities.

'With the capability to print edge to edge onto substrates of 3.14 x 1.6m and 50mm thick, at claimed speeds of up to 250m2 per hour, the Onset S20 also features a gloss level control to produce finishes from matt, through satin to high gloss, depending on the application,' said Linda Bell, chief executive officer of Inca Digital.

'This machine allows printing companies to choose a colour configuration to suit their processes.

'The introduction of light cyan and light magenta expands the Onset S20's capabilities and opens lucrative new sectors for our customers,' she added.

Both the Inca Onset and Onset S20 can maximise productivity through Inca's new Print Run Controller (PRC) software module.

PRC assists in the production of an individual order incorporating different elements whether they are images, text variations or languages.

It is also applicable when a large number of images need to be produced in varying quantities with variable elements to a large number of recipients, preventing workflow bottle-necks, streamlining production and thereby reducing both operator error and post-print collation requirements.
