Italian label specialist, Impronta Digitale, acquires third SCREEN press, the 100th Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI SCREEN sold worldwide
Italian label specialist Impronta Digitale has expanded its digital inkjet capacity with the installation of a Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI-S 5 colours, the third SCREEN inkjet press it has added to its machine park. For SCREEN, the new SAI-S installed at Impronta Digitale’s premises is the 100th sold since the introduction of the SAI series in 2020.
“This new press opens doors to new markets, increases our production capacity, and guarantees that our clients receive labels of consistent quality quickly and efficiently,” says Linda Picello, co-owner of Impronta Digitale. “The acquisition of SCREEN machines fits our strategy of staying innovative to continuously enhance our competitiveness in this challenging market,” she adds.
Founded in 2013 by Linda and her brother Ludovico Picello, Impronta Digitale prides itself on investing in cutting-edge technology for label printing. The company, located close to Venice, services a wide range of Italian businesses, from wine producers to pharmaceuticals.
“What drove us to invest in digital presses is their ability to start production at any moment, and produce labels of consistent quality and brilliance on every print run, while remaining competitive in the market,” Linda explains. “Our SAI machines operate 10 hours a day, in two shifts, five days a week, with an average production length of 1,000 meters per job – handling print runs from 30 to 10,000 metres. Investing in SCREEN’s technology was the right choice to allow us to grow and improve over time.”
SAI is Japanese for ‘colourful’ and the Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI-S comes with five or seven colours, allowing it to print colourful labels on a wide variety of substrates, including transparent and metallic material. The SAI-S is also equipped with high-density white.
Impronta Digitale uses SCREEN’s EQUIOS software for managing print jobs, enabling what it describes as “an industry 4.0-compliant workflow”. EQUIOS is configured to run seamlessly in the background, providing the machine with rapid and automated print data. In addition, the SCREEN TRUST system allows print operators to obtain all analytical information needed to effectively manage production times and resources.
Impronta Digitale bought its first SCREEN printer in 2013 and has continued to trust the Japanese provider of inkjet digital print technology ever since, thanks to what it calls SCREEN’s “solid, reliable and high-quality” products and service.
REM Labels and Packaging Solutions, SCREEN’s representative in Italy, supported Impronta Digitale with selecting and installing the SCREEN SAI machine. REM’s efforts contributed to the recognition of Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI as the number one inkjet label printer in Italy.
