Screen, which has begun taking orders for its new Truepress inkjet 520HD, aimed at high end printers, has already sold four of the units to Switzerland, Japan, Holland and USA.
The high speed inkjet printer, announced in September, is built for commercial printing and publishing applications, including high-quality books, short-run magazines.
Peter Scott, managing director of Screen Australia, the HD printer is a ‘completely new design from ground up’.

The new inkjet web press prints a ticketing application for the Hunkeler laser perforating line. Scott says, “The market has said to us that they want to print with quality, so we went back to the drawing room and came up with the TruePress HD.”
The Truepress Jet520HD, driven by Screen’s Equios software, has features to optimise the machines performance, such as In-Rip Smart Imposition, ICC Profile Editor and Spot Colour Editor. Scott says the new printer paper transport and drying system allow handling of papers from 40gsm to 250gsm. The machine also has new print heads and new screening technology.
Screen has sold more than 700 of the original TruePress inkjet webs globally, and Scott expects the new version to outperform its predecessor.
