Optimized for diversified, short run output

Printing of the required number of sheets, at the required time and quality Digital printing provides the flexibility to handle diverse, short run jobs and short turnarounds.

▶Product labels (gradations) Proprietary high-quality screening technology and printheads with a minimum droplet size of three picoliters achieve smooth gradations with no tone jumps.

▶Liquor labels (wide color gamut enables gold decoration) With their wide color gamut, Truepress inks are able to create an effect similar to stamping of gold foil. This allows high-quality, cost-effective printing of short runs that were previously difficult to handle, including limited runs of fine liquors.

Digital flexibility and advanced color reproduction introduce a new era in label and package printing

▶Safety standard labels

attention-grabbing products that stand out among the wide range of items available.

The Truepress Jet L350UV delivers the inkjet technology developed by Screen over many years optimized for label printing. For label printing companies looking for high throughput, high image quality, simple operation, and stability, the Truepress Jet L350UV offers the best possible solution.

Cost simulation

Digital inkjet printing eliminates the need to create plates and also significantly reduces the output of waste sheets.

This enables major cost savings in preprocessing.

Screen’s proprietary Truepress inks also reduce ink usage to a minimum to achieve top quality finishing. Costs associated with increasing sheet counts are likewise minimized, greatly improving break even points.

▶POP labels (improved product appeal) Accurate reproduction of product logos and container colors are key issues in the printing of POP labels. Truepress inks provide a truly impressive color gamut that covers around 80 percent of the Pantone range, making a significant contribution to the creation of brand loyalty.

▶Masking tape (endless roll-fed system) The Truepress Jet L350UV’s roll-fed system also makes it easy to print on masking tape. Using roll paper opens up new possibilities for products, including marketing masking tape as eye-catching decorations or corporate novelty goods.

High-speed printing of up to 50 meters (16.1 square meters) per minute

Smooth output of gradations

Screen’s proprietary grayscale printheads deliver around 80 million droplets per second, allowing high-speed printing of up to 50 meters (164 feet)* every minute. This enables throughput of 16.1 square meters (173.3 square feet) per minute for 350-millimeter-wide paper, making the Truepress Jet L350UV one of the world’s leading systems for inkjet printing of labels.

Outstanding expression of gradations using Screen’s proprietary printheads and high-quality screening The adoption of grayscale printheads allows droplets to be printed in four steps. This greatly improves the expression of mid-range gradations and enables smooth color reproduction from highlights to shadows with minimal graininess.

* For a resolution of 600 x 600 dpi

Smooth reproduction of gradations The Truepress Jet L350UV features ultra-fine three picoliter grayscale printheads and a resolution of 600 dpi. It also incorporates Screen’s color management and screening technology.

This functionality enables natural expression of gradations.

Controlling paper transfer so it remains in an optimal condition maintains outstanding print quality and resolution even for highly detailed areas.

Reproduction of wide CMYK color gamut

Color reproduction beyond CMYK with Truepress inks Screen’s proprietary UV Truepress inks provide coverage of a wider gamut than previous process color inks. This enables a natural finish and higher level of quality even for label designs with subtle color differences.

White ink is scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2014 (also available as a post-purchase option).

Easy operation and maintenance

Straightforward operation and maintenance With the Truepress Jet L350UV, all output-related processing can be performed from the front touch panel. This ensures any operator can easily achieve excellent print quality. Daily cleaning of printheads can also be performed at the touch of a single button. This and other simple maintenance procedures ensure the system is always in top condition, significantly increasing operational efficiency.

Easy operation The controller is easy to operate, thanks to its touch panel. The intuitive interface eliminates the need for a keyboard or mouse and allows all operations to be performed entirely from the touch panel.

Previous process color inks

One-touch automatic cleaning To clean the printheads, the operator simply issues a command from the touch panel’s maintenance screen during startup or shutdown. Ink mist and other substances causing nozzle clogging are cleaned automatically, preventing problems before they occur.

EQUIOS increases the efficiency and reliability of the label/package printing workflow from data creation right through to post-processing Point

Easy on the environment

Universal Workflow

Unlike earlier label printing systems, the Truepress Jet L350UV does not require the creation of plates. It also markedly reduces the generation of waste sheets caused by registration and color adjustment during printing.

Likewise, while the requirement for skilled operators to perform preprocessing was a key issue with previous equipment, the Truepress Jet L350UV dispenses with this and allows virtually anyone to smoothly begin using a label printing system.

Finally, the Truepress Jet L350UV meets safety standards in countries right around the world. This is truly an “ecological” printing system developed with all possible care given to both the people who use it and the environment.

EQUIOS is bundled with the Truepress Jet L350UV as a standard package. This universal workflow system combines the printing/prepress technology and knowhow developed

by Screen over many years with the latest inkjet technology.

EQUIOS provides a wealth of professional features based on Screen’s extensive experience, including high-speed processing using the latest RIP core, practical and straightforward color management linked to the paper information, and easy-to-use imposition functions incorporating Screen’s prepress knowledge. These features ensure simple operation regardless of the operator’s own personal experience and skills.
