Screen has introduced a new high opacity white mode for the Truepress Jet L350UV SAI S, a specialised UV inkjet label printing system.
When used with clear film or similar labels, this new printing mode provides more opaque white, preventing the colour of bottles or package contents from showing through. This helps to maintain rich colour saturation to achieve an eye-catching visual finish.
According to the company, the liquor, cosmetics and toiletry industries are increasingly employing UV inkjet-based digital printing as a substitute for silk screen printing. Digital printing provides these industries with several advantages, including shorter turnaround times, lower costs and reduced environmental impact.
Screen has had a long history developing inkjet printing technologies and claims both the volume and value of digital printing shipments in the label printing market have shown consistent annual increases. There has also been special interest in labels and stickers that stimulate consumers’ desire to purchase, including those promoting local production for local consumption and limited time campaigns, as well as original designs.
