The Screen TruePress Jet520NX
Development of the Truepress Jet520NX high-speed, roll-fed inkjet press has been finalised by Screen and Precision Solutions Co. The new model incorporates advanced image processing and inkjet technologies accumulated by Screen over its many years in the printing industry. The Truepress Jet520NX will make its debut at drupa 2016 and is scheduled for market release in February 2017.
In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for diversified, small volume printing capabilities that closely target the varied attributes of individual consumers. This has been accompanied by a similarly rapid rise in the requirements for direct mail, transactional and other types of roll-fed printing. The global market for roll-fed printing is showing consistent annual growth and it is estimated that by 2020 it will have grown by 40% compared to 2010.
As a result, printing companies have been working to improve quality and productivity and create new value-added services. This has, in turn, given rise to increasing requirements and expectations for highly expandable printing equipment that can meet these needs. Screen GP’s new Truepress Jet520NX inherits many of the proven features of the successful high speed roll-fed inkjet press, which has already manufactured and shipped a combined total of more than 1000 units.
The Truepress Jet520NX is equipped with a newly developed five-inch printhead module and supports a maximum resolution of 600 by 1200 dpi plus advanced ink volume control. These features deliver significantly enhanced colour reproduction compared to the existing model. In addition to the standard printheads for four ink colours, the Truepress Jet520NX can be fitted with an extra printhead for a fifth colour that enables the use of MICR black ink, invisible UV fluorescent ink, and other special inks.
The company has specifically designed the Truepress Jet520NX to facilitate the smooth replacement of the existing Truepress Jet520. It expects the new system to become a key element in printing companies’ on going efforts to realise the potential of new printed products and solutions.
