Fujifilm confirms Onset X series investment by leading UK printer Augustus Martin at drupa 2016
Top-50 UK printer Augustus Martin’s print portfolio will now include two Onset X2s and an Onset X3
During a visit to the Fujifilm stand at drupa 2016, representatives from
leading UK printer Augustus Martin confirmed a substantial investment in
the high performance flatbed Inca Digital Onset X series, which is sold
exclusively by Fujifilm. The new investment in the two Onset X2 and one
Onset X3 will complement the company’s existing Onset S70 and will
substantially increase its production capacity, enhancing its ability to
produce a diverse range of high-quality, wide format applications at a
volume and speed that rivals will struggle to match.
The three new Onset X series machines will split across its Manchester and
London facilities – two in London and one in Manchester – further
confirming Augustus Martin’s reputation as a dominant force in the UK
print industry, offering value, quality and reliability to customers nationwide.
The company made its decision to invest as a result of its extensive
experience with the Inca platform 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 Augustus Martin’s
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.”
Fujifilm’s new Uvijet OW ink range for the Onset X series will also enable
Augustus Martin to achieve still higher throughputs, with even greater levels
of quality and reliability. Fujifilm has developed this UV curable inkjet
system specifically for Inca Onset printers and for the display POP and
signage markets. These inks provide superior resistance to the post print
processes items may require, such as cutting, creasing and routing.
Says Keith Dalton, Managing Director of Fujifilm, UK: “Augustus Martin is a
hugely respected and influential company in the UK print industry and
Fujifilm is proud to be partnering with them to grow their business still
further and confirm their position as a leading UK printer. The added
production capacity of the Onset X series machines and the strength of
Fujifilm’s new Uvijet OW ink range will, in combination, allow them to pass
on a range of benefits to their customers, from reduced turnaround times to
increased quality and reliability.”
The Onset X series is on display on the Fujifilm stand: A25, Hall 8b.
