Peter Scott, managing director, Screen Australia says, “We are excited about bringing the L350UV to PacPrint. It’s not just that it is our new digital press but the specifications and performance place the L350UV right at the top level of currently available digital label presses.”

Distribution of Screen’s Truepress will be through its flexo partner Jet Technologies. Scott says, “Jet Technologies’ deep understanding of the narrow web market, coupled with their success with our flexo CTP platemakers, makes them the obvious choice. The press will be on the Screen stand but Jet Technologies is right across the aisle from us.”

Some of the key features of the new press are its 350mm web width and 50 metres per minute linear speed. It prints in wide-gamut cmyk, with the option of adding white ink from the beginning of 2014 and has a print resolution of 600dpi with small picolitre droplets, plus UV curing.

Scott says, “At 350mm, or 13.7 inches, the L350UV is more in tune with the expectations of flexo and offset label printers where 350mm is a standard web width. As a UV press, this means the L350UV can take most of the standard stocks a label printer will have as inventory, without the need to order special narrower widths.”
