Dear readers, here
you will find something about interesting innovations and news about Large
Format Printing. 1) viscom Italia: A birthday present for the industryA huge
success for the 20th birthday of Viscom Visual
Communication, the most important visual communication fair organised by Reed Exhibitions Italia from 13th to 15th
November at Fiera Milano Rho. The new scenarios of visual communication were the
underlying theme at Viscom Visual Communication
2008 as an exhibition, 598 suppliers as the broadest showcase of all that is
new in the world of visual communication, and above all for its meetings,
workshops and demos that enlivened the 3 days’ fair. The presence of 21,038
professional operators from 76 countries confirmed Viscom
Visual Communication as a leading fair in terms of visitor numbers and
standard. The rise in the number of visitors, 2.8% more Italians and 4.7%
more foreigners, is a challenge for the future at a time of crisis. A
positive climate could be breathed in the lanes along with the wish to face
the future proactively, with new solutions and applications for the proximity
market. In 2009, the fair will be held from 5th to 7th November, Halls 1 and
3, at Fiera Milano in More information: www.visualcommunication.it Sincerely
Yours Susanne

Inca Digital announces Inca Onset
S20
Inca
Digital Printers announces the Inca Onset S20, designed to deliver the
high-volume production needs of specialist display print companies. The new
printer builds on the technology of the Inca Onset digital UV flatbed
printer, and offers unique new features. The Inca Onset S20 has been
engineered to provide superb levels of performance, quality and flexibility.
It features Inca configured printheads on a full
print width colour bar with a 28 picolitre drop size. This, combined with Inca's own print
module technology and motion systems, delivers precise ink drop placement,
producing excellent print quality. The Onset S20 prints edge to edge over a
3.12 x 1.6m area on a moving bed on substrates as thick as 50mm. The vacuum
table with accurate pin positioning allows users to print single and double
sided on a variety of sheet sizes. To provide users with an extra level of
performance, a semi-automated material handling system is available as an
option. While the standard colour set of the Inca
Onset S20 is Fujifilm Sericol's
Uvijet four colour CMYK, Ultratone inks (lights, orange, and violet) and white
versions are also available. This, as well as a choice of satin, semi-gloss
and gloss finishes, delivers enormous versatility in the range of products that
can be printed, e.g. display POS, exhibition graphics, backlit/frontlit displays, outdoor signage printing etc. The
Wasatch or ColorGATE RIP provides easy file set-up
and in-depth colour management control for a
variety of applications. As with the faster Onset, an integrated scanner
automatically checks and ensures accurate print density, and allows printhead nozzle mapping and alignment to assure that
quality is not compromised. Sold by global distribution partner Fujifilm Sericol, the first
commercial shipments of the Onset S20 will be in March 2009. More information: www.incadigital.com 3)

BARBIERI electronic launches new Spectro LFP Series 2
BARBIERI
electronic launches a new edition of their well-known spectrophotometer Spectro LFP. This new special measuring device got
several improvements which makes it even more user-friendly and versatile.
The new Spectro LFP is faster, easier to use and
runs under MAC too. At photokina 2004 the Spectro
LFP has been shown for the first time and immediately it became a great
success. And now, 4 years after his introduction BARBIERI electronic launch a
new edition, the Spectro LFP Series 2. Same as his
predecessor, the Spectro LFP Series 2 is able to
measure any kind of media – also transparent ones. Some examples of media
which Spectro LFP customers successfully measured
are: fabrics, banner, backlit film, cardboards, paper, gypsum plates,
ceramics, wood, glass, metal plates, vinyl, plastic plates and many more.
Improvements of the Spectro LFP Series 2 are: approx.
30% faster than his predecessor, more user friendliness (the measuring
aperture will now be switched between small and large one also by software), changed
design (it comes in light gray / black with a big clipping of the BARBIERI
logo) and measurement software Profile-Xpert
Gateway and therefore also the Spectro LFP Series 2
runs under MAC too. More information: www.barbierielectronic.com 10) Neschen's new coating process guarantees
enhanced ink application
A new
type of coating process, developed by Neschen, now
provides much better colour properties in digital
printed media. As a result, a lot less ink is applied and inkjet printers
required less ink for the same colour density.
According to Neschen, measurements prove that less
ink is required. If printing service providers use the same amount of ink as
they did before, the colours will look even more
brilliant: the colours appear to have more depth
and intensity and therefore cover a much greater colour
space. "The greater colour space saves the
user up to 20 percent in ink," commented Dirk Peereboom,
Senior Product Manager, Inkjet Europe at Neschen in

EskoArtwork announces the successful installation of the largest Kongsberg
cutting table ever delivered, a Kongsberg XL48, at Nefab
Packaging Norway. For the past four years, the company, part of the Nefab Group, had been working with a Kongsberg XL24 table
and ArtiosCAD structural design software to produce
small to medium-size runs of foam and corrugated boxes. Nefab
Packaging Norway decided to invest in the large-size Kongsberg XL48 to
support corporate growth and satisfy demand for shorter time-to-market. In | ||||||
