Screen has launched the JetConverter L350 label finishing line with modular technology, which it says will allow label printers to add more options after installing the machine. The company says the JetConverter, which complements the Truepress Jet L350UV, has technology options include slitting, die-cutting, matrix stripping, corona treatment, varnish, up to two flexo units, laminate, tinting, cold foil and up to twelve auto-slitting knives.

Peter Scott, managing director, Screen GP Australia, says since the release of the Truepress, the company has examined the need for its own label finishing system, which led to the development of the JetConverter L350. Scott says, “Because of the diverse nature of every label printer’s requirements, JetConverters will be built to order. “Despite its comprehensive converting capabilities, the JetConverter is surprisingly easy to operate with all key settings made on the front panel LCD screen.” He says many options can be built into a JetConverter, both in the factory and in the field as upgrades. Scott says, “Screen’s JetConverter L350 matches the Truepress Jet L350UV’s 350mm maximum web width and will take widths down to 200mm. “Offline it runs at 64 metres per minute for increased finishing output. And when the inline connection is available from June 2015, speed is matched to the press at 50 metres per minute.” The Screen JetConverter L350 is available through Jet Technologies, who are also distributors of the Screen Truepress Jet L350UV digital label press.
