Labelprint24 commissions Screen Truepress Jet L350UV

The immediate benefits of the 4-colour + white inkjet web Truepress Jet L350UV, supplied and installed by Dantex, include doubling the production capacity at Labelprint24’s 100% digital facility in Großenhain, Saxony.

“In addition, the Truepress Jet delivers everything today’s label buyers expect from a leading manufacturer: personalisation, fast turnaround, first-class quality and, combined with our intelligent systems, affordability,” said MD Stefan Harder.

“Several key trends persuaded us this was the right path to follow,” he added. “One was the steady move from offset to digital printing. The other was the growing demand for labels to perform more sophisticated functions in industries such as food and pharmaceuticals. Today, labels do much more than just identify products; they’re vehicles for marketing promotions, for regulatory information, and so on. Add in factors such as greater product diversification and shorter life cycles, and our customers want us to print shorter runs, faster, and to the highest quality.

“With the Screen Truepress Jet L350UV, we can meet all these demands. Because the press is incredibly flexible, it can handle short, medium and long runs and can print on a range of substrates, including transparent film and metallic foil. Its print speed makes it one of the fastest label printing machines in the sector without any compromise on quality. Text is pin-sharp and images totally photorealistic. It’s easy to look after too. The automatic printhead cleaning function cuts maintenance to no more than 15 minutes a day.”
