Springfield Solutions invests in third Screen Truepress Jet L350UV digital label press

Springfield Solutions first invested in Screen’s digital printing technology in 2014, buying a second last year. The third Truepress Jet L350UV investment has been made to support the company’s significant growth over the last three years, attributed largely to the impact that the Truepress Jet presses have had on the business, with the company’s joint managing director, Dennis Ebeltoft, commenting that the Screen presses are, ‘driving our business growth and attracting new clients.

‘We have seen a lot of growth in business from existing and new clients which has put us a year ahead of schedule in terms of investing in a third press. We needed more capacity now to be able to service them and meet tight deadlines – we have been surprised by the success. We are seeing run lengths now that we didn’t expect for digital labels and are printing 20,000 linear meters during a single 8-hour shift.’

Ebeltoft (pictured, center) and fellow managing director Matt Dass, along with print operations manager Steve Nix (pictured, right), visited drupa 2016 to seal the deal. The press is to be delivered in a couple of months once Springfield Solutions has expanded its facility to accommodate it.

It is to be configured in-line with a Screen JetConverter L350 finishing system with in-line varnishing, lamination, die-cutting and slitting to give full end-to-end production and converting efficiency. End-to-end integration extends further, with the Screen presses linked into the company’s Cerm MIS system to provide accurate job management, production cost analysis and control.

Brian Filler (pictured, left), president of Screen Europe, said: ‘Springfield Solutions was the first company to install a Truepress Jet L350UV in Europe in 2014 and it has just gone from strength to strength since then.

‘It’s refreshing to be associated with such a professional company that is continually investing and growing a successful digital label business.’
