At Labelexpo Europe 2023, (Hall 9, Stand B30), SCREEN and Nilpeter will introduce an innovative in-line solution to meet the increasing demand in integrated digital printing and embellishment.
The new digital integrated solution combines SCREENS’s new Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI technology with Nilpeter’s state-of-the-art FA-Line flexo platform. The Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI S unit offers up to seven digital colours, enabling expanded gamut along with high performance white printing. Integrated with Nilpeter’s platform-based FA-Line and embellishment solutions, the in-line solution facilitates an efficient production of value-added labels.
Revolutionary in-line digital primer for Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI label digital printing press
SCREEN is also thrilled to announce the prototype development of an in-line inkjet digital primer for its flagship label printing press, the Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI, which will be on display as a world first during Labelexpo Europe 2023. This ground-breaking feature addresses one of the biggest challenges in UV inkjet digital printing, namely poor ink adhesion on certain substrates.
Traditionally, the issue of poor ink adhesion has been resolved through offline pre-priming of the substrate before printing labels. However, SCREEN’s cutting-edge development eliminates this extra step by incorporating an in-line digital primer directly inside its Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI digital printing press. This innovative solution not only saves time and resources but could also deliver superior ink adhesion on a wide range of substrates and better print quality that enhance visual appeal and brand impact.
Visitors to the SCREEN booth will have the opportunity to witness this game-changing technology in action and experience first-hand its transformative impact on label printing.
New opportunities in flexible packaging market with SCREEN’s Truepress PAC 520P inkjet digital printing press for paper packaging
Finally, SCREEN will showcase its innovative Truepress PAC 520P inkjet digital printing press for paper packaging at Labelexpo Europe 2023. One rapidly growing trend is the reduction of plastic material used in packaging and its paper-based equivalent replacement as consumers perceive paper-based packaging as more environmentally friendly and easy-to-recycle format.
In response to these market trends, SCREEN GA is moving forward with product planning for its Truepress PAC 520P – a high-speed, water-based inkjet digital press for paper-based packaging substrates with a much lower environmental impact than conventional printing processes. The Truepress PAC 520P uses newly developed proprietary water-based pigment inks that comply with appropriate food-safety regulations.
The Truepress PAC 520P offers label converters a seamless entry into the lucrative flexible packaging market, providing a competitive edge and increased profitability. With its small compact footprint and relatively low level of investment, this innovative solution eliminates the need for label converters to continuously struggle with tight margins in a saturated market.
