The company’s facility is highlighted by the installation of two new Inca inkjet flatbed presses purchased through global distributor Fujifilm, including the all-new Onset X3, which runs at speeds of up to 9,688 square feet per hour (180 beds), and an Onset X1. Holland & Crosby also installed two massive Esko Kongsberg cutting systems to accommodate the size and throughput of its new inkjet engines.
Bill Baxter, the UK-based engineering pioneer who established Inca Digital in 2000, attended the open house to help celebrate Holland & Crosby’s powerful printing platform. “As equipment makers in this field, where the pace of development is very quick, we are always coming out with the latest, greatest, most-advanced [systems],” says Baxter. “Holland & Crosby have regularly taken the very first of our machines shipped to North America and that is very important for people like us, because they really do provide a reference for our latest machines.
“I know that we have sold a lot of machines simply because Holland & Crosby have been making them work and sending the results out to clients,” continues Baxter. “We love them because of that, but we also love them because they are descent, sensible people. It has always been a real pleasure working with them.”
After establishing its digital department in 2004 with an Inca Columbia system, Holland & Crosby in 2008 became the first company in North America to install the Onset S70. In 2009, the company installed the Onset S20 and in 2010 became a digital-only shop based on its Inca horsepower.
The new Onset X3 features 3 x CMYK ink channels plus the choice of White or Orange, and 14-picolitre print heads. Running at 9,688 square feet per hour, the Onset X3 is is one of the world most-productive, high-resolution inkjet systems, while the – scaleable – Onset X1 runs at up to 6,027 square feet per hour (112 beds). Holland & Crosby provides a full range of display graphics services from creative and structural design to storage and distribution.
