Screen’s Truepress Jet520HD, will be the centrepiece of the company’s exhibit at this year’s Hunkeler Innovationdays (Messe Lucerne, 23-26 February).
The Truepress Jet520HD will be operational and alongside a standard Truepress Jet520, producing a variety of commercial print applications, including high-quality cookery books and short-run magazines. In addition, the Truepress Jet520HD will also be used to produce the complete set of Hunkeler brochures in five different languages. The commercial work will be saddle-stitched on the stand while the cookery books will be perfect-bound on the Hunkeler/Horizon stand. In addition the two presses will print a ticketing application for the Hunkeler laser perforating line.
The 520 mm wide Truepress Jet520HD incorporates a new paper transport system, new drying techniques, new printheads capable of producing variable-size droplets, and new screening technologies that make the most of new high-density, wide-gamut inks.
The press is designed to deliver the highest product flexibility with a combination of high speed and high resolution (from 50 m/min at 1200 x 1200 dpi to 120 m/min at 600 x 600 dpi) and a wide range of substrates (from 40 gsm to 250 gsm). Screen Europe’s VP of marketing said, ‘The press is already producing outstanding results at our European early adopter (Nic Oud, in the Netherlands), they have been particularly pleased with the vibrancy of the colours and the consistency of the results and we look forward to demonstrating this at HID.’
The company will also show a new version of the Equios workflow software, specifically developed to exploit the superb print quality of the Truepress Jet520HD. New features include In-RIP Smart Imposition, ICC Profile Editor and Spot Colour Editor. Using the latest Adobe core, Equios can process all levels of variable data at the full engine speed. In addition, Screen will show a redesigned version of its highly-regarded Jetinspection camera-based security system that is fully integrated into Equios. Jetinspection undertakes real-time, full-pixel and full-colour comparison of the printed result to the RIP data, which gives a complete guarantee of content as well as providing the basis of an automated reprint workflow.
Screen’s Smart Book Solution is a new feature of Equios that provides a sophisticated automated on-demand book printing workflow, from processing and imposition of files at input, through printing to book binding and finishing.
