Inca: New bi-directional printing
technique
Inca has
introduced an innovative bi-directional printing technique that has boosted
the production speed of its Onset flatbed UV inkjet printer by up to 25%.
Using the new bi-directional mode the automated Inca Onset handles print
sizes up to 3.2 x 1.5m at a production throughput of up to
600 sqm/hr. In pure print terms, this
equates to a speed of 1,000 sqm/hr. Large format inkjet printers
traditionally build an image by scanning printheads back and forth across the
substrate. This creates a 'lawn' banding effect when printing in both directions
(bi-directional). Banding can be caused by ink droplet placement, the shape
of the drops and the differences caused by curing in each direction of
printing. However, because the printing method is different on an Onset, this
structural banding is not an issue due to its advanced engineering and
design. The latest bi-di upgrade improves performance from 500 to 600 sqm/hr, whilst giving users the
confidence that they can maintain top quality results. Inca's new
Bi-directional printing feature is already being fully utilised on customer
installed Onsets and is now available as standard on new Onset machines. More

Caldera adds PriceView quotation
feature to CostView 2.0
After
having fully redesigned and upgraded Caldera’s cost management tool CostView,
a new quoting feature has been added. PriceView allows user to estimate a
selling price thanks to an intelligent comparison of the data with the
already existing jobs. To simulate a selling price simply fill in the Print
and Media dimensions, this information will be used to calculate the ink
costs and will take into account the waste of paper that may occur when the
job is printed. The user can set minimum margins, client discounts and other
incremental costs. CostView 2.0 is positioned to be the ultimate dashboard
for a manager sensitive to production costs. With this module user can
calculate all costs pertaining to a job: printing costs, finishing, shipping,
machine amortization or other overhead costs. At the end of the day user can
export the job listing with all relevant costs as a spreadsheet ready for
further analysis. Its webdriven interface can be accessed by any user in the
company network using a simple web browser. More

Mimaki: New innovative SS21 white
solvent ink for JV33 series
Mimaki
Engineering Co., Ltd is pleased to announce its new white solvent ink to be
used in its JV33 series of wide format solvent inkjet printers. The whiteness
of the ink has been decisively improved, to significantly widen the design
possibilities for both outdoor and indoor graphics. When printing white ink
as an under layer for full color on transparent
media the media has to be re-fed in order to print the color
on top of the white layer. This often leads to registration problems. To
eliminate such Mimaki has developed “White ink
overlay printing” which allows simultaneous white and full color printing. Mimaki’s new
feature for the JV33 enables accurate output of vivid full color graphics with white under layer. While the new
white ink retains the advantageous features of SS21 inks such as fast drying
and a wide color gamut, the whiteness and opacity
are decisively improved. This new white ink enables simultaneous high speed
printing of white and color thereby facilitating
many more design effects. In addition the pigments in the white ink have been
improved in order to prevent a shift of whiteness due to sedimentation. White
ink, which uses heavy inorganic pigments such as sand, is liable to
sedimentation. When this occurs only the upper part of the fluid is
extracted, resulting in color shift. The new white
SS21 ink reduces this undesired effect considerably and enables stable and
dense white printing. More

ASLAN expands colour range for its
metal effect films
ASLAN,
Schwarz GmbH & Co. KG, supplier of innovative, self-adhesive speciality
film products, has added yet another new product to its range of metal effect
films. Available now, the new addition to the successful ASLAN CA 23 line,
which already comprised six colours, has a sophisticated stainless steel
look. This brushed-look self-adhesive film with a double-sided matt finish
has an exterior durability of at least two years and can be used for a
variety of creative applications. With the same surface effect on both sides,
the polyester films in the ASLAN CA 23 range make for a wonderful,
eye-catching metallic look for a variety of applications, including glass.
They add a touch of sophistication to letterings, graphics and emblems and,
with Christmas approaching, they provide real attention grabbers for shop
designs. ASLAN CA 23 comes in 25 m rolls with a maximum width of 1.25 m. viscom More

The Solvoprint Wallpaper Painter’s Canvas is the latest
product in the portfolio and is ideal for images from the world of painting.
The irregular texture of the woven textile backing looks deceptively like a
canvas painted thickly with oil paints. The canvas medium can be mounted in a
stretcher frame and is therefore ideal for art reproductions. The Solvoprint
Wallpaper Painter’s Canvas has been specially developed for printing with
(eco) solvent and UV curing inks. The printing quality is very good and
colours are strong and bright. It is also flame retardant (according to DIN
4102 B1). Worldwide, Neschen supplies printable, coated and enhanced sheet
media, such as plastic and paper foils, but also textiles for printing
service providers. Architects, designers, photographers, interior designers
and advertising agencies can draw on a vast range of products for each and
every application. More

PIA/GATF InterTech Award
Xaar is
pleased to announce that the Xaar 1001 printhead is a recipient of the
PIA/GATF Intertech Technology Award for 2008. The InterTech Technology Awards
honor the development of technologies predicted to have a major impact on the
graphic arts and related industries. The Xaar 1001 is the ideal inkjet
printhead for commercial print and packaging. Designed for high-speed,
single-pass applications, the Xaar 1001 head is at the heart of a number of
innovative UV inkjet presses. It delivers excellent drop formation and drop
placement accuracy with outstanding operational durability. The head's unique
XaarDOT technology allows variable-sized drops to
be produced, giving users the ability to select drop size depending upon the
application. Fine drops give smooth tones and sharp-edged text, while larger
drops ensure good ink coverage at maximum print speed. The 1001 printhead
also incorporates Xaar's new HSS head technology, which delivers "through-flow"
operation. Most printheads shoot ink by delivering a pressure pulse down a
channel that ejects ink from a small nozzle at the end. More
