FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Graphic Systems Division along with partner Inca Digital introduced a new addition to the OnsetX UV flatbed series – the OnsetX HS (High Speed) range.
Featuring two new machines, the Onset X2 HS and the Onset X3 HS, the new range offers an increase in speed and productivity – now printing up to 15,597 square feet per hour, utilizing a new single cycle mode.
Compatible with Inca’s range of application-specific robotic handling systems, the new range incorporates a "30-second" job set up and "single cycle" printing mode.
The OnsetX HS launch is partnered with a new Fujifilm inkjet range, Uvijet OX, which features a brand new, patented ink technology developed and manufactured at Fujifilm Speciality Ink Systems in the UK. It was designed specifically for the Onset family of printers to achieve exceptional adhesion on rigid plastic media, specifically those commonly used in North America, at the highest speeds.
“We believe the launch of this new generation of OnsetX machines positions Inca Digital firmly at the forefront of the high-end inkjet market,” said Stephen Tunnicliffe-Wilson, CEO, Inca Digital. “Inca Digital has always been focused on pushing the boundaries of what is possible in print. The dramatic increases in overall productivity, made possible by the further integration of robotics and great advances in printing speeds, print quality and substrate compatibility, all mean print businesses and entrepreneurs have the capability and capacity to grow market share and confidently move into new markets.”
The addition of the new "single cycle" print mode to the OnsetX HS, made possible by the optimization of the print jetting profiles and jetting frequencies, means the new HS range can print at speeds up to 15,597 square feet per hour – more than 50% higher than previously published throughput figures.
On- and off-loading systems, UV shutter alignment and table skin adjustments have all been automated, reducing operator intervention and bringing job set-up time down from an average of 15 minutes to around 30 seconds.
The new OnsetX HS series is available now and distributed exclusively in North America by Fujifilm.
