Theia invests in Screen L350UV SAI inkjet series
First in Southeast Asia, Theia enhances digital label printing operations
Digital label printing specialist, Theia, has become the first company in Indonesia and Southeast Asia to invest in the Screen L350UV SAI inkjet series through Jet Technologies.
Theia, a division of Cahaya Jakarta, one of Indonesia's leading label printing companies that was founded in 1991, was set up to focus entirely on digital label printing in its very own facility in Cikarang, just outside of Jakarta.
Danny Lim, sales and marketing director of Theia, said, 'We had been watching inkjet technology for many years as we understood that the productivity benefits were substantial. With the L350UV SAI, we have a press that can deliver outstanding quality print on a wide range of materials with productivity that approaches flexo. Our focus is service and quality, and the L350UV allows us to improve our service substantially while maintaining the highest quality standards. It's a win-win for us.'
'Cahaya Jakarta started out with letterpress printing before investing in flexographic printing in 2002 and the first industrial digital printing press in Indonesia in 2009. To be able to install the very first L350UV SAI in Indonesia is another exciting milestone for the entire company and our Theia division,' Andy added. Sold and installed by labels and packaging specialist, Jet Technologies, the L350UV SAI supports printers to significantly increase turn-around speeds for digital printing jobs by automating the process. With its software-generated 'lead in, lead out' and 'reverse-feed' function, the system also works to considerably lower ink and material waste, reducing overhead costs and improving sustainability standards within operations.
Jet Technologies has a long history with Cahaya Jakarta and Theia, having installed an Omet X6 530-wide flexo press at Cahaya Jakarta in 2016, which at the time was Indonesia's widest and most productive label press.
'We're excited to have partnered with Theia and the Cahaya Jakarta group to enhance their digital printing production and provide them with a strong advantage in what is an ultra-competitive label printing market in Indonesia,' said Yulianawati, sales manager of Jet Technologies Indonesia. 'Theia's dedicated team has ensured that they bring the very best of digital label printing to Indonesia, with HP Indigo presses previously installed and now the addition of a complementary L350UV inkjet press.
'Installation and training on the L350UV has now been completed – we promised Theia that it would deliver extremely reliable and consistent print – it is pleasing to see that they are achieving those goals.'
The L350UV SAI is the most flexible and automated label production system in its class. The machine offers seven vibrant colors at 60m/min, (50m/min when using white) and is fully supported by local Jet Technologies and Screen factory-trained engineers.
The L350 delivers unrivaled color reproduction as well as superior scalability, enabling it to meet an even wider variety of market needs.
