After winning the biggest ever contract with Tesco, Bangkok-based signage firm
Inspire Image was in need to add a printer capable to print the requirements of the
global supermarket major. FUJIFILM Inca Onset R40i was the right choice, first in
Thailand, to deliver a one-stop-shop service and adhere to tight deadlines without
having to outsource any of its work.

On decision of choosing Inca Onset
R40i, Pichet Lakdee, MD, Inspire
Image Co Ltd, explains, “With the
14 devices we already had, we were unable to
meet the three to five days turnaround times
for high-quality outputs expected by major
clients, such as Tesco. We reviewed a number of
top high-end wide-format inkjet devices on the
market. This included a visit to FUJIFILM’s
Open House in Kuala Lumpur, where we tested
the Inca Onset platform.”
After the installation of Inca Onset R40i,
Inspire Image Co Ltd quickly started
receiving feedback they were hoping for.
“From day one, our customers – all brands
with high quality standards – commented
on the excellent quality prints we delivered
within tight deadlines. For being able to
do this, at a competitive price, we thank
FUJIFILM for the Inca Onset R40i.”
Inspire Image, based in Bangkok, was
established in 2007 to deliver graphic design,
signage, fleet graphics and wall decoration to
a range of clients across Thailand and
South-East Asia.
Producing 10,000 sq m of prints per
month, Inca Onset R40i boasts robustness
and reliability required for a heavy duty
production environment. “The printer is
proved to be the best option for us, delivering
print resolutions of up to 1200 dpi at
productivity mode; running at 400 sq m/hr,”
mentions Pichet, adding that the printer is
very reliable as they require little servicing
from the local FUJIFILM team.
Inca Onset R40i uses FUJIFILM Dimatix
Spectra printheads, which deliver a 14
picolitre drop size, and offers genuine
productivity of 400 sq m/hour. Inca Onset
R40i can churn up to 80 full-bed sheets per
hour on media up to 3.14x1.6 m in size and
50 mm thick. A choice of uni or
bi-directional and super high-quality print
modes can be selected depending on the
specific job requirements.
Availability of the full-width array ‘LT’
version of Inca Onset R40i, which was
announced early part of the year, allows
PSPs who are in pursuit of a mid-range
digital flatbed opportunity to invest in
a future-proof, cost effective high-end
alternative. Looking forward to gaining
a long and fruitful partnership with
FUJIFILM, Pichet is confident to say,
“We’ve made the right investment and
look forward to seeing how the Onset R40i
enables us to further grow our business over
the coming years.”
