SCREEN GA originally released its pioneering Truepress Jet520 full color variable inkjet press to the industry in 2006. The system combined cutting-edge inkjet technologies with prepress technologies refined by SCREEN GA over many years. Its development answered the growing need for printing companies to be able to produce high value-added materials tailored to individual consumers. Since this time, SCREEN GA has expanded its product lineup and solutions, and the press lineup’s outstanding productivity and quality have driven the shift toward full color, inkjet production transactional printing and also contributed to the expansion of the overall variable printing market.

Thanks to the strong support from users all over the world, SCREEN GA has now shipped a combined total of over 1,500 units of the Truepress Jet520 series including OEM partner systems since the initial release in 2006.

SCREEN GA intends to continue utilizing its established high-speed, high-quality inkjet technologies as it works to further improve production line automation and develop solutions that can resolve the many challenges faced by its customers. It is confident these efforts will enable it to both open up new markets and contribute to the longterm development of the printing industry.

Comments by Takanori Kakita, President of SCREEN Graphic Solutions Co., Ltd.
When the first Truepress Jet520 system was launched, transactional printing materials were mainly produced with monochrome variable printing on preprinted forms. The Truepress Jet520 series has continued to develop right up until today in tandem with the growth of one to one marketing and the migration of transactional printing to full color on demand production. In this time, a large number of innovative companies around the world have adopted Truepress Jet520 systems, and we are pleased to have been involved in their efforts to add new value to their printed products and create new business models. Our digital printing solution business has grown literally thanks to the long-term relationship with our users, including upgrades and additional orders. We are proud that there are some users who have continued to employ our original first generation models for more than 10 years as part of their main production equipment. Going forward, we intend to prioritize our customer first mindset, with further integration of our development, production, sales, marketing and service activities.
