Acto Print & Mail Services Installs Second SCREEN Truepress JET 520NX

Wednesday 04. December 2024 - Acto Print & Mail Services has installed a second SCREEN Truepress JET 520NX digital inkjet press to enhance production reliability and efficiency, citing its proven cost-effectiveness, reduced ink consumption, and high uptime since their initial installation.

Acto Print & Mail Services, part of the Acto Group, has expanded its production capabilities by installing a second Truepress JET 520NX digital inkjet press following a highly successful first installation.
The decision to invest in a second SCREEN press reinforces Acto Print’s commitment to providing flexible and timely document distribution solutions for its clients, as Acto Group CEO Philippe Massin explained, “For us, it’s crucial to remain flexible and deliver high production volumes on time. We handle large-scale document distribution with tight deadlines, so we need printing presses that align with this commitment by ensuring quality prints with a reliable, cost-effective design.
Proven Inkjet Reliability and Printing Efficiency
As a leading document distribution provider, Acto Print & Mail Services supports clients across various industries by ensuring accurate and on-time deliveries. To maintain this high standard of service, they required printing technology that combined quality, speed, and consistency. After extensive research, they selected SCREEN’s Truepress JET 520NX as the ideal solution. Initially, Acto Print ordered one press as a pilot to evaluate its capabilities.
With the first press, they immediately saw improvements in operational efficiency with dramatic reductions to their maintenance requirements downtimes. Previously they’d expect visits from a press engineer at least once a week, but since adopting a SCREEN inkjet press, maintenance is only needed every few months with virtually no need for repairs.
Meanwhile, their previous printing systems also consumed significant amounts of ink, leading to higher costs and more waste. With the new Truepress JET 520NX, they’ve seen more efficient ink consumption, while reliable print-on-demand functionality has reduced wasted substrates and labour to improve printing cost-effectiveness further.
The press quickly became Acto Print’s most reliable and cost-effective press, leading them to accelerate plans to upgrade their second production line sooner than anticipated.
Expanded Capacity and Flexibility for the Future
With a second Truepress JET 520NX now in operation, Acto Print & Mail Services is better positioned to meet growing customer demands and maintain uninterrupted production. The addition of a second SCREEN inkjet press allows them to keep one on standby to ensure continuity in the event of unexpected downtime, which is a requirement in an industry where fulfilling orders with rapid turnaround times and strict deadlines is vital despite the equipment’s reliability, while also allowing their operators to better handle large orders by running both machines simultaneously.
“We’re impressed with the quality and efficiency of the inkjet presses,” Massin concluded. “The Truepress JET 520NX is a strong match for our business, and we anticipate a successful long-term collaboration as we work to improve the efficiency of our document distribution systems with SCREEN’s digital printing solutions.”
