Screen launches new inkjet press

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.

Screen developed the Truepress Jet L350UV in 2013, its first label printer designed specifically for this field. Since the initial release, more than 150 presses have been sold. 

The Truepress Jet L350UV SAI enables is available in a line-up of four models that can be selected according to the production environment.

The system’s name, SAI, represents its design concept and refers to its ‘Stable’ operation, ‘Accurate’ color reproduction and ‘Integrated’ technologies. SAI can also mean both ‘color’ and ‘high’ in Japanese.

The company has equipped the Truepress Jet L350UV SAI with additional slots for mounting inkjet printheads. Along with CMYK, it can be loaded with white, orange and blue inks for a total of seven colors. The system also features proprietary color management technologies developed in collaboration with CGS Publishing Technologies of Germany. These technologies provide a wider range of color expression than was previously possible.

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.
