SCREEN Europe will exhibit the Truepress Jet520HD+, which uses SCREEN’s newest generation SC+ ink, as well as its new Truepress PAC 520P. This high-speed, water-based inkjet digital press, developed for flexible packaging, uses proprietary water-based pigment inks that comply with appropriate food-safety regulations.
In addition, SCREEN will demonstrate how it cooperates with Solimar Systems to streamline production flows, enabling greater automation and labour savings, while also reducing production losses and errors in the printing process. Around the theme of ‘Creating a Future in Print’, SCREEN Europe will showcase its products at this year’s Hunkeler Innovationdays in Lucerne, Switzerland, from 27 February-2 March.
520HD+: digital future for commercial printing
The Truepress Jet520HD+ press with its newly launched ink, SC+ Ink, will be configured with the Hunkeler Cut and Stuck system (CS8). ‘Our Truepress Jet520HD+ offers high printing quality on standard offset papers at great productivity, with the added power of variable and short-run print-on-demand,’ said Taishi Motoshige, SCREEN Europe’s Marketing Director. ‘More than 100 users have already shown that inkjet on gloss, silk and matt offset-coated stocks is possible without priming.’
In response to the trend of reducing plastic material in packaging, SCREEN has developed the Truepress PAC520P, a high-speed, water-based inkjet digital press for paper-based packaging substrates, with a much lower environmental impact than conventional printing processes. This is due to a drastic reduction in energy and material waste. Building on more than a decade of experience in inkjet printing, the Truepress PAC 520P uses newly developed proprietary water-based pigment inks that comply with appropriate food-safety regulations for sustainable flexible-packaging applications. The system is expected to provide both outstanding print quality and safety while maintaining exceptional throughput.
Solimar’s SOLitrack system provides excellent visualisation of each job progress and status of equipment, plus a wide range of partnership that enables it to link with the printers of various manufacturers. Solimar and SCREEN developed a combined seamless digital workflow with SCREEN’s highly reliable RIPing system EQUIOS.
All Truepress Jet 520HD printers will now come with MYIRO, a modern, automatic colour-calibration system that makes colour management much faster, easier, accurate and reliable.
