Screen has launched the JetConverter L350 label finishing line to go with its Truepress Jet L350UV label printer.

The machine can 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.

The line is modular so printers can pick the components they need and not the ones they don’t or add options later.

Screen GP Australia managing director Peter Scott 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.

“Because of the diverse nature of every label printer’s requirements, JetConverters will be built to order,” he says.

“Despite its comprehensive converting capabilities, the JetConverter is surprisingly easy to operate with all key settings made on the front panel LCD screen.”

Scott says many options can be built into a JetConverter, both in the factory and in the field as upgrades.

“Screen’s JetConverter L350 matches the Truepress Jet L350UV’s 350mm maximum web width and will take widths down to 200mm,” he says.

“Offline it runs at 64 metres per minute for increased finishing output. When the inline connection is available from June, speed is matched to the press at 50m a minute.”

The Screen JetConverter L350 is available through Jet Technologies, which is also the distributor of the Truepress.
