Screen says that it ‘has turned necessity into a virtue,’ by making its Truepress Jet L350UV SAI label printer available for remote demonstrations from its Technology Centre in Amstelveen, The Netherlands.
Existing and prospective customers can now see how the SAI label-printing technology ‘significantly expands the capabilities of digital printing for label and narrow web packaging applications,’ via remote demonstrations of the new machine.
‘They are able to let it print labels according to their specifications, watch the machine run from different angles, and get detailed explanations from its operator,’ explained business development director Carlo Sammarco. ‘They can then inspect the print result in close-up images on their computers at home or office. Screen sends hard copies of test runs via courier, allowing ‘real life’ inspection of test runs within 24 hours.
‘Remote testing has taken off since we installed the L350UV SAI a short while ago,’ Mr Sammarco continued. ‘It’s a solution to travel restrictions due to Covid-19. It’s also a tremendous cost and time-saver for our existing and prospective customers, who are spread across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. We think these sophisticated remote demonstrations will very likely continue to be relevant after the Covid-19 pandemic.’
The Amstelveen site remains open for those still willing and able to travel for in-person demonstrations.
