Screen, one of the world’s largest manufacturers and suppliers of system components for the prepress and printing industries, and Nilpeter, a global manufacturer of labels and flexible packaging machinery, will introduce an innovative in-line solution to meet the increasing demand in integrated digital printing and embellishment at Labelexpo Europe 2023 in September.
Showcasing latest generation technology, the two companies partner up with the aim to meet the requirements of the label and packaging industry with stable and high-quality combination printing.
The new digital integrated solution combines ScreenS’s new Truepress Label 350UV SAI technology with Nilpeter’s FA-Line flexo platform. The Truepress Label 350UV SAI S unit offers up to seven digital colors, 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.
In-line digital primer
Truepress Label 350UV Sai-SScreen has also announced the prototype development of an in-line inkjet digital primer for its Truepress Label 350UV SAI, which will be on display as a world first during Labelexpo Europe 2023. This 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 development eliminates this extra step by incorporating an in-line digital primer directly inside its Truepress Label 350UV SAI digital printing press. This 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.
Truepress PAC 520P inkjet digital printing press
Truepress PAC 520PScreen will also 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 a more environmentally friendly and easy-to-recycle format for the products they buy.
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, the company said.
Visit Screen (Hall 9, Stand B30) at Labelexpo Europe 2023 from 11 September 2023 to 14 September 2023 to witness the Truepress PAC 520P in action.
