drupa news: Kenton InStore orders Inca Onset S40i

Kenton InStore Ltd, based in Birmingham, UK, has today confirmed an order for an Inca Onset S40i on the Fujifilm stand at drupa, making it one of the first companies in the World to invest in this new printer. The company has over 50 years of point of sale (POS) experience, with origins in screen printing, and has evolved over the years to the world class provider of POS it is today. Two years ago, when it first stepped into the digital world, it invested in an Inca Spyder from Fujifilm, and as business has taken off the company decided that the time was right to make another high speed digital investment.

Peter Hughes, MD of Kenton Instore, comments, “We are a screen printer specialising in the production of corrugated board displays. In order to realise our aim of migrating print from screen to high speed digital we needed a printer that could obviously produce the work at the required speed, but more importantly at the required quality, particularly where solid line colours and colour accuracy is concerned.”

He continues, “In the Inca Onset S40i from Fujifilm we found the printer that ticks absolutely every box. The combination of speed and quality is unrivalled and the latest upgrades to the printer and the Uvijet OZ Inks will really benefit anyone who, like ourselves, prints high quality graphics onto corrugated board.”

The Inca Onset S40i supercedes the Inca Onset S40 and includes many new intelligent features that increase productivity and reliability. It meets the high-volume, fast-turnaround production needs of specialist display print companies, using 168 new-generation, user-replaceable printheads (28 per colour) on a full width print array delivering a 28 picolitre drop size.

Key new features of this latest Onset family member include reduced bed masking, an innovative UV sensor system, and a sophisticated substrate height detector. Combined with a new Fujifilm Uvijet ink system which has also been launched, these are all additions that persuaded Kenton InStore that this printer was the most appropriate on the market to fulfil its needs.

The Inca Onset S40i is being shown publicly for the first time worldwide on the Fujifilm stand in Hall 8b at drupa 2012.
