The SpyderX has been developed to meet the increasing market demand for a cost-effective mid-range printer that was capable of delivering high quality prints on a wide variety of substrates. Originally featuring a 3.2 x 1.6m print area, the new SpyderX now features a 3.2 x 2m flatbed as well as roll-to-roll printing capabilities, offering maximum flexibility and the opportunity for printers to open up new revenue streams with the same press. Its precise registration and robust printhead technology offers consistently high quality output without any degradation in quality over time. The SpyderX can serve either as a complementary production workhorse alongside the Onset X series for smaller runs and more bespoke work, or for those businesses who require all the benefits of high end inkjet platform in a mid-range machine.
At Fespa 2017, Incawill introduce a new B1 inkjet printer. Built on the same platform as the Onset X Series and the SpyderX, the new B1 format printer has been specifically developed to offer a high quality, short run B1 solution for the offset, screen and industrial printing markets. Both Inca and Fujifilm are planning to distribute the new machine globally.
The 8 channel B1 printer benefits from Inca’s fully scalable architecture, meaning it is easily configurable and has the flexibility to grow with the printers’ business, opening new revenue opportunities as it evolves. Suited to a busy production environment, it will be initially targeted at the POP and commercial print markets. However, its inherent versatility means that it will also be suitable for an extensive range of applications, including those that are too thick to be printed on offset. The new B1 platform has the capability to eliminate material handling with a fully automated system complete with feeder and stacker; this enables the operator to focus on print quality and reduces the risk of human error. Manual and ¾ automation solutions are also planned, with modular lay table and collection tray to suit the print company’s requirements and budget.
The B1 printer features Fujifilm small drop, 7ng print heads for crisp 4pt text and smooth colours, ideal for short viewing distances. Next generation optical print head alignment and calibration systems ensure precision and high-quality results are maintained through the life of the product. Two stage UV curing using UV-LED pinning on the carriage keeps heat sensitive substrates cool during the printing and a UV tunnel provides excellent adhesion and durability. Advanced technologies such as recirculating print heads, automated print head cleaning and collision avoidance ensure the machine maintains the same print quality and productivity throughout its life.
