In recent years, on-demand production of the required numbers of copies has become standard across the printing industry and the scope of application for this approach continues to expand. On-demand production has been advancing rapidly, particularly for high-resolution, full color printing. However, with a view to improving the general operating ratios of systems and optimizing entire production facilities, there have also been growing calls to raise the efficiency of monochrome printing, which continues to account for a consistent proportion of overall output.

In response to these industry trends, Screen recently finalized development of its Truepress Jet520HD mono, the first high-speed roll-fed monochrome press for its Jet520HD series. The new system inherits technologies previously created for the series and features high-precision output at resolutions of up to 1,200 x 1,200 dpi. It is equipped with Screen’s unique Truepress ink SC range, giving the press the ability to print directly onto offset coated papers.

In addition, its compact configuration of the mono press provides greater flexibility when choosing the installation site. It is also designed for enhanced usability with output instructions, confirmations and other processes that can easily be managed from a tablet improving efficiency.
