Fujifilm’s corrugated solution
UK-based DS Smith has invested in the Inca Onset S40i flatbed digital printing system to improve quality for its customers, as well as ensure greater production efficiency.
The investment means that the packaging company is the first in the world to invest in a combination of Inca Onset S40i, low odour inks and automated handling system.
The supply cycle specialist has chosen Fujifilm’s corrugated solution which has been installed at a display production site in the UK. The investment will enable the company to produce a range of single and double-sided corrugated display and packaging applications, at a productivity of over 500 sqm/hr.
David Atchinson, display manufacturing manager, said, ‘The fully automated handling system will maximise productivity and allow our operators, after starting the run, to focus their attention elsewhere as the print job is running.
‘We were also very impressed to see how effectively the system handles single or double sided print, enabling a wide variety of board types to be perfectly printed whilst being held flat on the table.’
He concluded, ‘Exceptional print quality, production speed and reliability were other key drivers when we reviewed the various offerings. Fujifilm’s solution was the only one that easily ticked all these boxes for us. Finally, the Uvijet OL low odour ink will allow maximum functionality, delivering a superb gloss with excellent finishing properties. Overall, a brilliant solution.’
