Visitors to drupa should ensure they make time to see this cutting-edge digital inkjet press.
There will also be a live demonstration of SCREEN’s Truepress JET 520HD mono system, a high-speed, roll-fed inkjet press that is optimized for monochrome printing such as publication work and overprinting of direct mail.

Attendees will be able to check the samples to confirm the ink’s deep black density and excellent legibility even for small characters.
Additionally, SCREEN will display a fully featured model of its Truepress JET S320, yet another new system. It will also introduce a wide range of solutions for a sustainable society, including those for small lot, on-demand book and variable direct mail work, and optimized production that reduces inventory by enabling specific volumes of materials to be printed on-demand as they are needed.
