Screen reports successful Ipex presence

Demonstrating its digital print, CTP and workflow products at Ipex, Screen reports that during the show it generated orders that are expected to lead to sales worth around 7.5m euros.

On display was the Truepress JetSX, a B2 full-color duplex sheetfed variable printing system, the first European shipment of which is expected towards the end of 2010.

‘Ipex came at a great time for Screen,’ said Screen Europe’s marketing manager, Tim Taylor. ‘We were able to demonstrate that we have the most successful inkjet web press of the last two years in the Truepress Jet520 and that we also have a new inkjet technology that will become a bestseller in the years ahead. At the same time, our CTP business remains strong all over the world.’

Screen also showed three different configurations, including a new black and white engine, of the Truepress Jet520, its high speed continuous inkjet device with more than 200 installations. The Truepress Jet520 was shown with a new monochrome engine.

‘While the level of interest in inkjet technology was enormous and very encouraging for the future,’ said Taylor, ‘we are equally pleased with the volume of sales achieved in our traditional computer-to-plate business.’ Screen took orders for every size of platesetter right up to the large 48-page devices. Sales of its CTP products were taken from more than 20 countries.
