SCREEN Launches New Digital Label Press

SCREEN Americas finalized development of its new Truepress Jet L350UV SAI inkjet system for label printing. The Truepress Jet L350UV SAI made its international debut at Labelexpo Europe 2019.

The press features improved color reproduction as well as superior scalability, enabling it to meet a wide variety of market needs. SCREEN plans to launch the system worldwide in January 2020.

Production levels for the global label printing industry continue to expand every year. There is particularly strong interest in labels and seals used in short-run limited and regional campaigns.

SCREEN developed the Truepress Jet L350UV in 2013, its first label printer designed specifically for this field. Since the initial release, wide ranging, continuous improvements have seen the L350UV series ship a total of more than 150 presses to date. In recent years, requirements for mixed, short-run printing have also been growing in relation to products for the high price and luxury segments.

In response to these industry trends, SCREEN has developed the Truepress Jet L350UV SAI, which is available in a line-up of four models.

The company has equipped the Truepress Jet L350UV SAI with additional slots for mounting inkjet printheads. Along with C, M, Y and K, it can be loaded with white, orange and blue inks for a total of seven colors.

The flagship Z model also delivers print speeds of up to 80 meters per minute. The high-end Z model is joined by an entry-level model with reduced installation costs (E), a standard model (S) and a dedicated model for food labels (LM). Each of the four systems can be upgraded on-site with additional colors. SCREEN plans to launch the S, E, Z and LM models sequentially in January 2020.
