Gdansk company Bluejet Print has become the first printer in Poland to fit an Inca Onset S20 wide-format flat-bed UV-curable machine, Fujifilm has revealed. The print-house moved to new premises to accommodate the Onset S20 when it was delivered in December, and hopes it will enable it to offer digital output at the same quality as screen and offset.

The machine will also allow Bluejet Print to enter new markets, as executive chairman Piotr Kaczorowski explains. "POS is a fast-growing market in Poland, and we wanted to invest in a device that will allow us to provide high-quality print at a competitive price and turnaround time," he says. "Our previous hybrid printer just couldn't keep up with the work any more and we wanted something that would allow us much greater capacity."

He adds: "We are extremely excited about the new possibilities we can offer to both new and existing customers. The Onset S20 allows us to compete with other key wide-format print providers on the market, which isn't something we could do until now."

The Onset S20 is a six-colour machine and can handle substrates of 3.14 x 1.6m (10.3 x 5.2') up to 50mm (1.9") thick, says its manufacturer Fujifilm.
