Did you know that the Truepress Jet520 ranks number one among color inkjet web presses? With more than 200 installations worldwide since its commercial launch in 2006, the Truepress Jet520 is the system of choice for high-quality variable printing of books, newspapers, direct mail and transpromotional materials.
Users of the Truepress Jet2500UV report that they turn it on in the morning and are printing in as little as 20 minutes. And it isnt just the automation and speed that so impress users. Screens grand-format UV inkjet printing system produces photographic quality and precise text that rival offset printing.
Because of the flexibility of wide-format inkjet printing for print-on-demand applications, Screen introduced the Truepress Jet1600UV-F. This easy-to-use flatbed device excels at printing vivid, full-color signs and displays. The Truepress Jet1600UV-F is equally suited to the production of backlit graphics, posters, point-of-purchase materials and construction signage. It features the latest technology for inkjet printing and UV-LED curing.
Trueflow SE Ver. 7.0, Screen’s flagship PDF- and JDF-based workflow management system, optimizes print production in a manufacturing setting where both digital and conventional offset equipment are the norm. Trueflow SE Ver. 7.0 unites all forms of digital devices within a single, highly automated workflow. Its sophisticated tools manage production to multiple CTP recorders, digital presses and proofing systems.
