STI Line executives with the Inca press at FESPA.

Specialist packaging and POP solutions provider STI Line has placed an order for an Inca Onset S40i with automation and XMF workflow from Fujifilm. This will be the first Inca Onset S40i in the UK equipped with the new Uvijet OC inks for corrugated applications.

The order was confirmed by the Gillingham, Kent firm at FESPA 2013. The investment brings digital print in-house in a quest to improve competitiveness.

Operations director Dave Driver commented: ‘The increasing demand for short run products, as well as the importance of reducing lead times, has driven us in the direction of digital print. In the last few years the performance offered by this technology has grown steadily and now perfectly suits our requirements.

‘Not only does the Onset S40i offer unique features that we are confident will improve our time to market without compromising on quality, but the Uvijet OC inks will  guarantee exceptional flexibility for us, so we can immediately proceed with the cutting and finishing stage, delivering finished products quickly.’

In order to manage the full digital production process in-house, STI Line will integrate the Inca Onset S40i with XMF workflow, which he said ‘ticks all the boxes’ as an easy to use and efficient prepress system.
