Kolorcraft takes first Onset S40
The first Onset S40 in the world has been installed at Kolorcraft in Ossett, UK. The 470m2/hr printer, which gets its first public airing at Fespa Digital where it will be on the stand of exclusive global distribution partner Fujifilm, sits between the 750m2/hr Inca Onset and the 310m2/hr Inca Onset S20.
POS specialist Kolorcraft has rigorously tested the new printer over the past few months. With the addition of the Onset S40 to the Inca Onset range there are now 18 different Onset configurations available.
Offering the features associated with the Inca Onset range, including wide colour gamut, satin and controllable gloss levels, variable job management and the option of automation, the Onset S40 produces display graphics at throughput speeds of up to 470m2/hr, equivalent to 94 full bed sheets/hr (3.14 x 1.6m) and onto substrates up to 50mm thick. A choice of uni-directional, bi-directional and super high quality print modes can be selected depending upon specific job requirements.
The Inca Onset S40 uses up to 168 user-replaceable printheads (28 per colour) on a full width print bar delivering a 27 picolitre drop size. This, combined with Inca's precision ink drop placement, produces 600dpi print quality with the option of four or six colours using Fujifilm's UVijet OB ink.
“The Onset S40 is the logical next step for us in our printer portfolio. It fits nicely into the market and is highly competitive. Many companies are starting to invest in multiple Onsets, and we are giving them the flexibility to mix and match the models to suit their customer's needs and production requirements and provide room for growth," said Dr Linda Bell, Inca Digital CEO.
