Fujifilm has sold four of the newly launched Inca Onset S40i machines at Drupa 2012, including the one on its stand. The large format flatbed printer, which has replaced the Onset S40, has been bought German print companies Alprinta and Bachmann as well as Bergame in France, and Kenton InStore based in the UK.
Alprinta specialises in POS printing and is always striving to achieve the best quality and productivity on the market. Its managing director Dr Tietze said that with the Inca Onset S40i he is confident this will be the case: “When we saw the class leading quality and exceptional productivity that the Onset S40i produces we had no choice but to decide on Fujifilm. We’re delighted to have secured the machine currently on display on the Fujifilm stand at Drupa, and it will only be a few weeks before it is on our premises and we will be ready to start production.”
Bachmann is one of the largest screenprinters in Europe and has also branched out into digital wide-format. Heinz Peter Bachmann, managing director at Bachmann in Germany, said: “In order to serve our customers in a timely manner we really needed a machine that we could rely on day in, day out. With the Inca Onset S40i we believe that we have found the perfect printer to meet our needs, and given the long standing relationship with Fujifilm Sericol we have complete trust in their ability to provide us with the best possible service and support.”
Peter Hughes, managing director of Kenton Instore, said of his choice: “We are a screenprinter specialising in the production of corrugated board displays. In order to realise our aim of migrating print from screen to high speed digital we needed a printer that could obviously produce the work at the required speed, but more importantly at the required quality, particularly where solid line colours and colour accuracy are concerned.”
He continues, “In the Inca Onset S40i from Fujifilm we found the printer that ticks absolutely every box. The combination of speed and quality is unrivalled and the latest upgrades to the printer and the Uvijet OZ Inks will really benefit anyone who, like ourselves, prints high quality graphics onto corrugated board.”
Bergame, one of the largest screenprinters in France and a major POP producer, has been using an Inca Onset S70 from Fujifilm for a number of years, and so when they learnt that the Onset S40i was available they decided to invest.
The Inca Onset S40i supersedes the Inca Onset S40 and includes many new intelligent features that increase productivity and reliability.
