The launch at Labelexpo of the new Screen Truepress Jet L350UV+LM, which uses newly developed low migration (low permeability) inks, was quickly followed by the announcement that Springfield Solutions is the first company to take the press. The sale represents the company’s fourth Screen label press.
‘When Screen announced a new press with low migration inks we were instantly curious,’ said Dennis Ebeltoft, operations director. ‘With the additional accommodations for food packaging combined with such a productive, high quality digital press, it’s a very compelling proposition.’
The press includes a nitrogen purge mechanism for accelerating the curing of UV inks, further preventing ink migration and UV odour. It prints at speeds of up to 60m/min and enables the reproduction of a wider colour gamut by adding support for a special orange ink.
‘Springfield Solutions is forming a habit of making landmark purchases from Screen,’ said Bui Burke, senior vice president sales. ‘Pioneers like them are essential for us to bring the most relevant technology to market. In the case of the L350UV+LM, they advised on additions such as the chill roller, and have been advocates from early on.’
