Fujifilm launches ‘class beating’ white Onset

Fujifilm has launched a white ink version of the Inca Onset S40i, which it claimed is the fastest white printing wide-format press in its class.

The Inca Digital-built flatbed features two white ink channels, and is understood to be the first in a series of white ink-enabled Onsets.

The S40i is capable of 560sqm per hour in CMYK mode. It runs Fujifilm’s latest Uvijet OZ UV inks and its full-width print array uses 168 Fujifilm Dimatix printheads, 56 of which are dedicated to white.

It features the same 15-zone vacuum bed as the six-colour S40i as well as a choice of uni- and bi-directional and super high-quality print modes. However, the white functionality will not be retrofittable to CMYK+Lc+Lm Onset S40is.

Fujifilm also said the S40i features newly developed Dimatix printheads, which, when combined with the OZ ink system and the Onset’s architecture, create a machine that can print extremely fast even in white mode.

Fujifilm Australia’s digital business development manager, Michael Liveris, said that Fujifilm’s white ink was known as the cleanest and brightest in the market.

“This complements the current Inca Onset S20 platform and shows Inca is keeping up with market trends and developments. The Australian market has always had a strong requirement for white, especially for point-of-sale on clear stocks,” he told ProPrint.

The white-enabled Inca Onset S40i will be given its global debut at Fespa Eurasia, which takes place on 3-5 October in Turkey. It will be immediately available for shipping and will be priced “on par with” the six-colour S40i.
