The Screen Truepress Jet W3200UV HS
The first Screen Truepress Jet W3200UV HS wide format printer has been installed by Tali digital in South Africa.
Speaking about the investment, owner Orlando De Abreu said, ‘The speed is amazing, it prints at 150 sqm at sellable speed, which is a major benefit. It’s versatile because we can switch from roll-to-roll to flatbed printing. This machine has replaced two other machines.’
Another feature that appealed to the company was the construction of the machine. ‘It’s well built. A lot of thought went into the engineering of the machine, and there’s a high level of precision.’ said Mr De Abreu.
‘The in-depth training we’ve received on the machine and the whole installation process is something else. The printer had to go through a number of checks before it was signed off.’ continued Mr De Abreu.
The printer’s eight-layer printing feature was another selling point, as were the high amount of safety features and the automatic cleaning station. ‘With UV you have to keep the printheads clean if you want the printer to perform at its best, so the cleaning station is a very useful feature,’ said Mr De Abreu.
The printer allows for expansion in to new market applications. ‘Because of the larger table size, we can now print on oversized perspex sheets, FSU’s and corrugated board, which we couldn’t do before.’ Mr De Abreu explained.
‘Ipex machinery sees wide format digital printing as a growth area of the printing market in South Africa, and we believe that the Screen Truepress W3200UV is the ideal solution for all digital wide format printers in the country,’ said Lance Green, product manager at Ipex Machinery.
