This model is the company’s second Screen UV inkjet press. It is also the second sale of the low migration L350UV+LM model in the UK.

Looking for additional capacity to serve growing demand, owner Bill Hine signed the deal at Labelexpo Europe 2017. He commented: ‘We need the additional capacity, business is good and our experience with the Truepress Jet L350UV we already have has been very good. In fact, the reliability of the equipment has been absolutely amazing, so it just makes sense to have another.’

Hine Labels has been supplying labels to printers for over 30 years. As a trade printer, the markets served are varied and already include food packaging. ‘The L350UV press already meets the requirements of the market, however should legislation change, we will be prepared for it. Meanwhile, we will have an extremely productive press, we’ll be able to print digitally onto thinner substrates and deliver an even faster service for our customers.’

The Screen Truepress Jet L350UV+LM, launched at Labelexpo Europe 2017, delivers print speeds of up to 60m/min. The addition of a chill roller to the press expands the versatility and flexibility of material types that can be supported, including thin and heat sensitive film, which significantly increases the range of packaging and label applications that can be printed.  Hine Labels’ press will also come with Screen Equios Universal Workflow software.

Bui Burke, senior vice president of sales at Screen Europe, said: ‘The fact that Hine Labels is a returning customer means a great deal, we’re delighted to see their business go from strength to strength and we’re proud they’ve chosen Screen to be a part of that.’
