Derwent Displays showcases latest Fujifilm kit at open day

The Derbyshire-based firm highlighted the latest phase of its partnership with Fujifilm, which includes two Inca Digital Onset X presses. The kit allows the company to rapidly turnaround short run and personalised work.

Paul White, commercial director at Derwent Displays, said: “In our market, the current demand is for fast prototyping and samples for sign-off and quick pricing and we needed a machine to help us meet these demands and to help us make our turnover target. So when the time came to upgrade our digital capabilities, the Onset X was the obvious choice.

“We had looked closely at the Onset S40 some years previously, followed by a live demonstration of the Onset X1 at another Fujifilm customer site. This eventually led to our initial Onset X investment (an X1 platform) in 2017. It offered a significant step-up from our original digital provider, both because of its superior speed-to-quality ratio and because of the reliability of the printheads.

“The fact that the Onset X is a British product and Fujifilm inks are produced in the UK also appealed to us.”

Chris Broadhurst, general manager at Fujifilm Graphic Systems UK, added: “Derwent Displays’ investment in two Onset X platforms is testament to the capabilities of the Onset range, and the investments are already putting them on target to achieve their increased turnover goal. We look forward to continuing our relationship with them and seeing the further benefits the Onset X1 and X2 bring to their business.”
