Springfield takes world’s first Screen Truepress Jet L350UV+LM

The new Screen Truepress Jet L350UV+LM uses newly developed low migration (low permeability) inks that offer enhanced safety and functionality in food packaging label production. Additionally, the press includes a nitrogen purge mechanism for accelerating the curing of UV inks, further preventing ink migration and UV odor.

The sale, signed at Labelexpo Europe 2017, represents Springfield’s fourth Screen label press, and sees Screen continue to strengthen its position in the digital labels sector and expand its remit in food packaging labels.

‘When Screen announced a new press with low migration inks we were instantly curious,’ stated Dennis Ebeltoft, operations director at Springfield Solutions. ‘With the additional accommodations for food packaging combined with such a productive, high quality digital press, it’s a very compelling proposition. Innovation and growth are paramount to who we are as a company and Screen shares and supports those values. Our previous experience with Screen and the reliability and efficiency of its technology meant that this new innovative machine was a natural choice for us.’

Bui Burke, senior vice president of sales at Screen, added: ‘Springfield Solutions is forming a habit of making landmark purchases from Screen. Pioneers like it are essential for us to bring the most relevant technology to market.

‘In the case of the L350UV+LM, Springfield advised on additions such as the chill roller, and have been advocates from early on. Its invaluable. Our relationship with Springfield has gone from strength to strength since 2014 and we’re delighted to work with such a forward-thinking company.’

Truepress Jet L350UV+LM has launched alongside the Truepress Jet L350UV+, with the first sales of that model confirmed to the UK's James Hamilton Group, and Spain’s Docuworld and Italy’s Impronta Digitale.
