Baker Labels has expanded its digital printing capability by investing in its first inkjet device, a Screen Truepress Jet L350UV inkjet label press.
The new press will be installed in its Brentwood, Essex facility and complements its Nilpeter FB-3 flexo press and three HP Indigo digital presses.
A 50 m/min running speed at a printing width of up to 322 mm on material from 100 mm to 350 mm, enables it to deliver an output of 16.1 sqm/ min. The Truepress Jet is equipped with an automated head cleaning function that greatly simplifies maintenance and reduces the amount of time required to keep the press in an optimum condition.
In choosing the Truepress Jet L350UV press with Screen EQUIOS universal workflow, managing director Steve Baker had studied the production capacity and printing quality of various inkjet machines before making his final decision at Labelexpo.
‘We produce short to medium run labels in the highest quality, very competitively and to tight deadlines so we have to rely on highly efficient presses that deliver maximum uptime and consistent results,’ said Mr Baker. ‘The new Truepress Jet not only boosts our production capacity considerably but, as a UV inkjet press, it also gives us the ability to produce great quality labels with good light, chemical and water resistance. We have a wide variety of customers with diverse label needs and this latest investment gives us the freedom to choose the best press to produce the best label for a specific application.’
Baker Labels offers a complete design, pre-press, print and finishing trade service and specialises in producing a wide range of bespoke self-adhesive and non-self-adhesive labels for its trade customers.
