Inca improves Columbia Turbo, Spyder 320 in time for Fespa

Inca has unveiled two new products at this weeks Fespa event in Berlin.

The Cambridge-based company has launched the Spyder 320 Q Fine Quality digital UV flatbed printer for the high-end and ‘closely viewed’ markets. It also plans to launch the enhanced Columbia Turbo machine, which uses a new formulation of Fujifilm Sericol inks.
