OnsetX1-LT Description
Imagine Onset quality at an entry-level price.
The OnsetX1-LT flatbed UV printer provides the amazing, market-leading print quality expected from the OnsetX series with production speeds that help your business grow. The X1-LT has an easy upgrade path that results in a full build OnsetX1.
Onset quality is delivered by utilizing precise drop placement to produce crisp images, fine lines, sharp text and smooth tonal gradations. And with the Onset’s full-width array printing, there’s no gloss-matte banding commonly associated with conventional reciprocating head technology, especially in high saturation areas.
The OnsetX1-LT is available with Fujifilm Dimatix drop-on-demand R printheads to achieve the desired quality. R printheads jet a 14 picoliter drop size providing a good balance of quality and volume for the display POP and signage market. Initially, the X1- LT produces sellable output of 40 5’ x 10’ beds/hour with manual handling. That’s over 2,152 ft2/hour. After the first upgrade, the X1-LT is capable of producing sellable output nearly 3,000 ft2/hour, equating to 58 5’ x 10’ beds/hour with manual handling. After the second and final upgrade, the printer is a full build OnsetX1, capable of output in excess of 4,300 ft2/hour, equating to 80 5’ x 10’ beds/hour.

OnsetX1-LT Features
25 Zone ‘No Masking’ Vacuum Bed – Featuring a powerful new vacuum system and choice of table skin design, the need for bed masking is eliminated, whatever the substrate size, and greatly reduces set-up times for the most common POP substrates and increases throughput of short-run, fast-turnaround print. Vacuum zones are independently controlled and the auto zone function allows it to be easily managed by the operator.
Simple User Interface – Touch screen GUI makes it easy to finalize and initiate jobs, save settings, create print queues and manage and optimize every stage of the print process. Improved off-machine job set-up means jobs arrive at the printer with more predefined parameters – substrates, print speed, quality mode, gloss level, etc – already specified.
iNozzle Technology – An onboard scanner locates any under-performing nozzles and automatically assigns a reserve printhead to jet ink to make a perfect image.
Inca Software Suite – Provides operators with a complete suite of productivity-enhancing software including Reporter Pro, Inca Vision and Print Run Control (PRC).
OnsetX1-LT Easy Upgrade Path
| OnsetX1-LT Easy Upgrade Path | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Machine Stage | Details | Handling | Beds/Hour |
| Entry Level Machine | Single lamp and unidirectional printing | Manual | 40 |

Beds per hour speeds based on 5’x10′ sheets
The Level One Upgrade includes the addition of a second UV lamp, the associated electronics and additional print modes. Adding a second UV lamp allows for bidirectional printing, which significantly increases printing speed. The conversion is completed with minimal downtime to quickly increase throughput.
Level Two upgrade adds automation controls and electronics to support automation for the optional handling systems. The optional handling systems for the Onset increases the throughput of the press by 25-50% by reducing handling time from 20-45 seconds manually, down to as low as 6 seconds with automation. As a result, this Onset can produce up to 80 beds/hour with automation as opposed to up to 58 beds/hour manually (with 30 seconds handling).
