Designed and built by Inca Digital Printers in Cambridge and
distributed by Sericol Imaging, the Eagle has been described as the
first real digital screen press. A large-format flatbed printer that
uses Sericol's Uvijet four colour (CMYK) UV curing inks and the latest
piezo inkjet technology, the Eagle prints directly onto rigid materials
up to 40mm thick.
Developed as an industrial machine from the outset, the Eagle incorporates
high quality engineering solutions to achieve a robust printing system.
With this machine the Xaar print heads are stationary during the print
cycle which maximises print accuracy.
UV curing of ink as opposed to evaporative solvent drying allows the
ink to remain liquid in the print heads but once it is jetted onto the
receiving substrate, dries more or less instantaneously. Uvijet pigmented
inks can print to a wide and diverse range of substrates from paper
to polycarbonate, wood to glass both for indoor and outdoor applications
without the need to over-laminate.
