Screen Europe unveils latest Truepress Jet L350UV inkjet label press

Since the Truepress Jet L350UV was launched two years ago, 25 systems have been installed. Several companies are now investing in their second press to meet demand, according to the company.

The Truepress Jet L350UV uses Screen’s high-definition CMYK+white UV inks and runs at 50m/minute on web widths of up to 350mm. The press incorporates single-pass grayscale piezo printheads with a minimum droplet size of three picoliters. Printing resolutions of 600 x 600dpi, combined with the small droplet size, gives sharp, well-defined images and text, says Screen Europe.

New features

The latest Screen Truepress Jet L350UV at Labelexpo offers end-to-end production with new developments in links to MIS and near-line finishing. The new link to Cerm (MIS) allows JDF communication to the Screen Equios digital front end to eliminate many repetitive manual tasks and automating planning and step & repeat routines. The resultant improvement in efficiency cuts production time and enables over 25 short run jobs per shift. In turn information is fed back live to a digital dash board displaying production data, printing speeds and meters printed for all scheduled jobs.

The new Screen JetConverter L350 is a modular finishing system offering the flexibility of both in-line and off-line operation. It is equipped with many new standard functions for label printing, including varnishing, lamination, die-cutting and slitting. In addition, decreased times for set-up and adjustment and reduced paper wastage achieved by a shorter path line are said to enable significant cost reductions during label production.

At Labelexpo, Screen launched Vivid Color Mode which allows the Truepress JetL350UV to further extend the color gamut that can be achieved from the existing inkset. Vivid Color Mode simplifies the process of attaining spot color values using a four-color ink set and without the need for spot color inks.

Finally, the Equios DFE’s new text resolution function offers HD quality text sharpness by reducing ink spread across the whole job or on selected elements – even on uncoated paper substrates.
