The display POP sector needs high impact graphics, on a wide range of substrates, from paper to PVC to polypropylene. Inks play a key role in achieving this, and the market leading Fujifilm Onset high volume printer is now enhancing its latest Uvijet OW inks with the addition of Uvijet OW Orange.
Fujifilm says the introduction of OW Orange increases the colour gamut volume. Steve Peck, Graphics Marketing Manager at Fujifilm says, “Orange colours will look truer and cleaner when orange ink is introduced to a print process, instead of trying to achieve a suitable match from mixing yellow and magenta inks together.”
The company says the benefits of Orange ink include an extended colour gamut, and says corporate colours can be more accurately achieved where orange is predominant.
The Onset range of flatbed printers are recognised worldwide as the best in class for output, quality and reliability. The release of Uvijet OW allowed Fujifilm to remain competitive, in terms of jetting reliability, ink mileage, and adhesion when compared against competitors.
Key features of Uvijet OW are designed to address market needs and include adhesion to rigid plastic substrates, including fluted and flat sheet polypropylene, an effective cure performance at the fastest print modes, improved scratch resistance of the finished print, increased gloss uniformity, excellent flexibility characteristics, and an ability to maintain the stability and jetting performance achieved with Uvijet ink systems.
Uvijet OW is based on a chemistry that is designed to offer a high functionality ink with acceptable adhesion across a wide range of rigid plastic substrates. Peck says, “The combination of high performance orange with Dimatix printhead technology further enhances the Onset X series position as the most competitive flatbed in the market today.”
Uvijet OW has been shown to have an outdoor life of up to 24-months in a south facing, northern European climate. The Onset X range benefits from scalable architecture. This enables the machine to be tailored to meet individual business needs at the time of initial investment, and then allows for future expansion. Peck says, “Printhead and colour configurations can change and grow without having to change other parts of the machine, making the Onset X range future proof.”
