Screen USA unveils Truepress line-up for Print 09

Digital manufacturer Screen USA is to present several models of its Truepress digital printing line-up, including the Truepress Jet1600UV-F, at Print 09.

The large-format, flatbed inkjet manufacturer said it is one of the only LED-cured UV printers available that enables full-colour reproduction and no-heat production on up to 63x122-inch products.

Bill Brunone, vice president of targeted inkjet systems, said: "The future of print is print-on-demand and its need has increased in every printing field.

"Screen is committed to developing digital printing systems that are suitable not only for mass production, but also for exceptional personalised items."

He added that the company was continuing to expand its portfolio products to satisfy the needs of its increasing customer base.

At Print 09, Screen will also be demonstrating printing applications such as book components and newspapers on-demand, variable data printing, and sign and display printing.

Brunone said: "Printing quality and imaging resolution are what sets Screen's Truepress systems apart from other digital printers. We have introduced products at the top of the quality spectrum for their class."

The company said the Truepress Jet520, which has an imaging resolution of 720x720 dpi, provides the highest resolution of any single-pass inkjet digital printing system. The web press prints full-colour book pages and newspapers on-demand.

Brunone said: "At the same time, Screen's commitment to CTP remains as solid, dependable and long-lived as our platesetters."

Screen (USA) is a regular attendee at national and regional trade shows for the graphic communications industry.

The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kyoto, a Japan-based Dainippon Screen Manufacturing Co.

Print 09 is due to take place on 11-16 September, in Chicago, US.
