Screen GP has introduce the Truepress Jet520HD mono, a specialised model for monochrome printing.
Peter Scott, managing director for Screen GP Australasia, says, “Monochrome digital output still accounts for a significant portion of printed output.
“Book printing, trade paperbacks, pharmaceutical multi-lingual pamphlets, lottery tickets and transactional print continue to be consistent. On demand production of required numbers has become standard in the industry. It has advanced rapidly, particularly for higher-resolutions. with this resolution and ability to print digitally to coated and uncoated stocks driving demand.”
The 520HD mono joins the rest of the HD colour line up as the first specialised model for monochrome printing. It offers resolution of 1200 x 1200dpi. Screen says its SC inks feature rapid drying technology and excellent substrate adherence. It can print at speeds of up to 150 linear metres per minute.
Print on offset coated papers
Scott notes, “Screen’s Truepress ink SC range, has already established an impressive track record with other Truepress Jet520HD colour models, yielding offset quality. These inks give the press the ability to print directly onto offset coated papers, without primers.”
He says the compact configuration of the Truepress Jet520HD mono provides greater flexibility when choosing the installation site. It is also designed for enhanced usability. Operators can easily manage output instructions, confirmations and other processes from a tablet device.
Screen has designed the Truepress Jet520HD mono for adding to a production line as a dedicated monochrome press or used to replace toner-based production printers. The company says, in both cases, the system can deliver major increases in efficiency for monochrome output.
