Screen will debut its new Truepress Jet L350UV SAI seven-colour digital inkjet press at LabelExpo in Brussels which it says improves colour reproduction, increases speed and offers superior scalability enabling it to meet a wide variety of market needs.
The model, which can print up to 80 metres per minutes, represents the latest advances in the L350 series since its introduction in 2014 with its worldwide commercial release scheduled for February 2020.
“The Truepress Jet L350UV SAI model represents the latest advances in the L350 series since its introduction in 2014. The suffix ‘SAI’ means ‘Stability, Accuracy and Integration’ – with the word ‘Sai’ also meaning ‘colourful’ in Japanese. This is a major step for digital label production as additional slots for printheads are onboard, meaning Orange, Blue and White inks can be added to the wide-gamut CMYK inkset,” Screen GP Australia managing director Peter Scott said.
“Overall colour management has been developed in collaboration with CGS Publishing Technologies International GmbH of Germany. These technologies provide a far wider range of colour expression than was previously possible, increasing Pantone coverage and reducing colour differences with specific spot colours. CGS has been a leader in colour management for over twenty years, with its ORIS proofing systems enjoying considerable success in the ANZ region.”
Four scalable variants of the L350 SAI will be available, E for entry-level, S for Standard and the flagship Z model for highest speed of 80 linear metres per hour. There will also be an LM version using low-migration inks specifically for food packaging applications.
“We, and our dealer partner Jet Technologies, are very excited about this latest evolution of the successful L350UV label press line,” Scott said.
“The features really respond to market requirements and we can point to more than 150 presses shipped to customers worldwide, many of who have ordered a second or even a third machine. As with all Screen technologies, quality and integrity of the build is high, uptime is of the highest in the industry and image quality is superb.”
Scott along with Jack Malki and David Reece from Jet Technologies will be at LabelExpo Europe in Belgium on stand B30 in hall 9 to meet and greet visitors from the A-NZ region during the show from 23-27 September.
