Features Printing Wide-format Inkjet
Inca Introduces Onset X Scalability

Inca Digital has unveiled the new Onset X Series of large-format flatbed inkjet printing systems, which the UK-based company describes as providing future-proof scalability. Sold globally and exclusively by Fujifilm, the Onset X Series is described by Inca as its fastest-ever printer, reaching speeds of up to 900 square metres per hour (9,687 f2/hr).

The systems also leverage a 25-zone vacuum table and UV control system to help eliminate masking, and a carriage that can incorporate up to 14 ink channels. This scalability, explains Inca, allows printers to configure an Onset X system for the combination of productivity, colour and quality that best matches their production requirements.

“Since 2013 Inca Onset users have benefited from a highly-flexible flatbed UV inkjet production machine that can grow and change with them,” said John Mills, Inca Digital’s CEO. “The new Onset X Series is designed to remove the traditional compromise of quality and productivity and make the choice of printer the easiest decision they have to make.”

Users can start out with the Onset X1, which runs at up to 560 m2/hr or 6,027 f2/hr, producing 112 full-bed sheets per hour. The Onset X2 runs at 725 m2/hr  or 7,803 sqft producing 145 beds per hour. The new the Onset X3 at 900 m2/hr produces up to 180 beds per hour.

The Onset X Series printers use a range of Fujifilm Dimatix print heads, while handling substrates in sizes up to 3.22 metres (126 inches) x 1.6 metres (63 inches) and thicknesses up to 50 mm.
