Exhibit features

gan180605_img01.jpgDemand for mixed and small lot production of printed materials has grown rapidly in recent years as consumer needs have continued to diversify. We have suddenly entered an era in which digital printing has become a common part of everyday life and personalized, variable and other digital formats enable the creation of individually customized items.
In its stand, SCREEN GA will present a wide range of samples illustrating the possibilities available with a digital printing business. This will include many items not possible with standard offset or seal label printing, including mixed and small lot on demand books, variable direct mail, security tickets, food packaging labels and shrink-wrap labels for beverages. The presentation will be based on the Truepress Jet series' cutting-edge technologies and worldwide application results.
Visitors are warmly invited to experience SCREEN GA's advanced solutions for themselves at its stand. It will be an opportunity to see the company's EQUIOS solution platform, which forms the core of all its applications. The company also plans to introduce its new CtP solutions.

Exhibit overview

The Truepress Jet520HD high-speed inkjet press will be on display along with its dedicated SC inks. Together the two enable the production of items such as on demand books using offset coated papers and premium variable direct mail.
Their excellence has led to them receiving twin prizes in the US and Japan, a 2017 InterTech™ Technology Award from Printing Industries of America (PIA) and a 2018 technology award from the Japanese Society of Printing Science and Technology (JSPST). Newly improved drying functions have further increased print speeds to 75 meters per minute on offset coated papers.
Attendees will have the opportunity to see a production solution built around EQUIOS that is linked from its front end right through to a cut and stack system provided by postprocessing experts Tecnau. There will also be demonstrations showing high-quality output onto offset coated paper using SC inks as well as wide color gamut printing in six color mode (provisional exhibit).
