Onset X investments spark a year of
transformation for print businesses
across Europe
Fujifilm today announces that during the course of 2016, an unprecedented
number of European printers from the UK to Poland,
and from Spain to Croatia, transformed their businesses by investing
in the ultimate industrial flatbed, the Onset X.
drupa 2016 contributed to the number of companies investing in
the platform, as it took pride of place in the wide format section
of the Fujifilm stand. On-stand sales to German screen printer
Bachmann GmBH and to leading UK POS and POP printers, Kolorcraft
Group and Augustus Martin, were among those announced
at the show. Footfall across the stand was heavy throughout
the exhibition, and the Onset X was a major draw for media and
customers alike.
Bachmann’s CEO, Pascal Bachmann, is clear on the benefits he
sees this platform providing: “With the Onset X3, we feel that
the Fujifilm-Inca Digital partnership has taken both productivity
and quality to another level altogether,” he says. “Aside from the
increase in quality we’ve seen since the installation, the biggest
difference we (and our customers) have noticed is just how quickly
we can turn jobs around. I would go so far as to say that I
think the Onset X3 is unmatched as a large format machine with
the ability to handle both flexible and rigid substrates.
“Modern print companies need to revolutionise to survive,” Bachmann
continues. “There can be no complacency. No one can
say for sure what the future holds, but what is certain is that those
with the most flexibility, adaptability and creativity will thrive.
With the Onset X3 and our growing partnership with Fujifilm,
we think we have given ourselves the best possible platform to
deliver on all of these essential requirements.”
Augustus Martin made its decision to invest in two Onset X2 machines
and an X3 as a result of its extensive experience with
Inca platforms over many years and across a range of models.
“We’ve found the quality and reliability of the Inca platform and
the Fujifilm Dimatix inkjet system to be exceptional” says founder
and Joint Managing Director, Lascelle Barrow. “The new
Onset X series has preserved all the rich hallmarks of its well-earned
reputation, while dramatically increasing production capacity
– making this investment a relatively easy decision in the
end.”
At either end of the year, two European corrugated packaging
specialists – Grupondunova in Spain and ProDigital in Croatia –
invested in Onset X1 machines, citing the quality, productivity
and scalability of the platform as their reasons for investing.
