Today Screen launched the Truepress Jet
L350UV UV inkjet label printing system. The new system incorporates innovative
technology to deliver high-quality, high throughput, single-pass imaging and
will be demonstrated for the first time worldwide at drupa on the Screen stand
(9/A40).
In recent years the label printing industry
has seen a growing trend of greater product diversification and shorter product
lifecycles. As a result, label print companies are increasingly investing in
short run POD (Print-On-Demand) systems that deliver high quality, fast job
turnaround, and the opportunity to provide added-value services.
Recognizing these industry trends, Screen has
developed the Truepress Jet L350UV inkjet label printing system. The Truepress
Jet L350UV offers print speeds up to 50m (164ft) per minute and can accommodate
maximum printing and media widths up to 322mm (12.6in) and 350 mm (13.7in)
respectively. As a label printing system it achieves industry-leading
productivity of 16.1sqm (173.2 sqft) per minute, delivering outstanding
throughput.
The Truepress Jet L350UV features multi-level
greyscale printheads with a minimum droplet size of 3 picolitres. To provide the wider colour gamut often
required for labels and packages, the Truepress Jet L350UV supports unique high
definition inks and Screen’s owns proprietary high-resolution screening. This
is combined with advanced colour management technology based on the Screen
EQUIOS Universal Workflow. White ink will be supported that will allow printing
on transparent film and metallic foil media to expand application versatility
and quality.
The printheads feature an automatic cleaning
function, which minimizes maintenance work and helps ensure consistent output
results. Screen also plans to connect lamination and die cutting post-press
units inline, promising even higher processing efficiency.
“The Truepress Jet L350UV provides Screen
with an outstanding offering for the label printing industry” says Kees Mulder,
President, Screen Europe. “Our in-depth experience in both digital print and
unified production workflow management underlines our commitment to providing
world-class solutions for this growing market sector.”
