Screen marks 100th sale of Truepress Label 350UV SAI digital press

Screen has sold its 100th Truepress Label 350UV SAI press. The milestone sale came after three years of the launch of the SAI model when it was sold to Italy-based label manufacturer, Impronta Digitale. 

‘Our clients and we are thrilled about the success of this label press. We introduced it in December 2020 to provide label printers with a wider color gamut, combined with the trademark robust technology that our label presses are known for,’ said Carlo Sammarco, business development director, Screen Europe.

The first Truepress Label 350UV SAI was purchased in December 2020 by Italian print house Grafiche Pradella. Since then, Screen has sold additional machines in the UK, Northern Africa, Turkey and other European countries, with more sales pending.

According to the company, the main reasons behind the SAI press’s success are its reliability and consistent print quality. The first buyer of the machine had given the feedback that the Truepress Label 350UV SAI printer ‘stood out in speed, precision and the very high label print quality’.

Sammarco, added: ‘It’s a reliable machine that doesn’t require much maintenance, is versatile and robust, and performs well both as a stand-alone press and as part of a sophisticated production line in an integrated system. In addition, and thanks to its ink, the SAI machine prints labels that are durable and have a high scratch resistance.’

The Japanese word ‘sai’ means ‘colorful’, and the SAI series was developed to help printers produce a wider range of spot colors to meet brand owners’ challenging demands. The machine prints on substrate widths of up to 350mm, with a print speed of up to 60 m/min.

In February 2022, the Screen Truepress Label 350UV SAI-S was awarded by the European Digital Press Association, which voted it ‘Best label printer’ for its ease-of-use as well as for its quality and speed.
