Inca Digital to demonstrate UV inkjet presses at Drupa

Inca Digital will be showcasing its range of digital UV inkjet presses at this year's Drupa.

The Cambridge-based firm, part of Dainippon Screen, will be demonstrating the Inca Onset, its UV flatbed printer launched last year and Inca's top selling machine, the Inca Spyder 320.

The firm will also be exhibiting its single-pass full-colour corrugated board printer, the FastJet, developed in partnership with Sun Chemical.

The Inca Onset, which is distributed by Fujifilm Sericol, is claimed to be the world's fastest digital UV flatbed printer.

It offers a printing area of 3.2x1.52m and can handle substrate thicknesses up to 15mm.

The Onset, which can print at a maximum throughput of 500sqm an hour, was launched last year.

The press has enjoyed seven installations across Europe, the US and Canada, including SP Group in the UK.

Also on display will be the eight-colour Inca Spyder 320 running the new Fujifilm Sericol Uvijet Ultratone enhanced colour set, developed specifically for this machine.

The Spyder range, launched in 2005, is also available in a variety of four-colour, six-colour, and eight-colour configurations.

Drupa will also be the showcase for the Sun Chemical FastJet, developed in partnership with Inca.

The single-pass fixed-head UV inkjet printer is designed to print corrugated board sheets in full colour and at high speeds.

The machine is pitched at short- and medium-run flexographic print work for transit and shelf-ready packaging.

The FastJet can print at a rate of up to 6,000sqm an hour on corrugated substrates up to 1.7m long.

Inca Digital will be exhibiting at Drupa, which runs from 29 May to 22 June, in Düsseldorf, Germany.
