USS Graphics Invests in Second Inca Digital Onset

In 2015, Cape Town-based USS Graphics Group became the first company in Africa to invest in an Inca Digital flatbed press from Fujifilm. Now, determined to bolster its national presence, it has installed a second Onset flatbed, capable of printing at speeds up to 640 square meters per hour, at Print Shop Denver, one of its associated companies based in Johannesburg.
 
One of South Africa’s leading commercial printers, USS Graphics has a strong focus on what it terms “campaignability” – its ability to produce all elements of an integrated marketing campaign in one location. USS Graphics offers customers 24/7 service from pre-press through to distribution, across a huge range of substrates, including corrugated board, vinyl, flexible materials and textiles. Its portfolio of printing technologies includes litho, screen and digital presses in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
 
“The Onset R40i we installed in Cape Town back in 2015 has proven to be a hugely valuable investment,” said Louis Burger, Managing Director, USS Graphics. “We’re using it predominantly for printing corrugated POS and POP display materials, which in the past we had to litho print to get the necessary quality, and then mount onto board.”
 
As an example, Mr Burger cites the recent delivery of three major national campaigns for high-profile retailers, which had to be completed simultaneously, in the space of less than a week. “Without the Onset we could never have delivered jobs of that magnitude to such a tight deadline,” said Burger.
