Truepress Jet 520 with Kern finishing
Screen will be putting the on-demand, variable data capabilities of the Truepress Jet520 inkjet web press on display at the inaugural Kern Open House 8-11 September, Munsingen, Switzerland.
Screen will be one of more than 20 partner companies at the event demonstrating products that complement Kern’s portfolio of mailroom hardware and software solutions for inserting, pre- and post-processing.
The Truepress Jet520 is the world’s most successful high-speed, variable data inkjet web press, a truly innovative mono and full colour device designed to meet demand for quality, high-speed, on-demand production of transpromotional print, direct mail, newspapers, magazines and books.
With a maximum web width of 520 mm, the Truepress Jet520 prints onto a wide variety of standard/uncoated papers, including general-purpose and recycled stocks, at up to 220 m/min. The press can print with a resolution of 720 x 720 dpi.
At the open house, the company will demonstrate the Truepress Jet520 with the Equios universal workflow, the Kern 100 unwinder, the Kern 110 rewinder and Kern 135 DataTracker powered by Axode camera system.
Featuring the Adobe PDF Print Engine at its core, Equios provides integrated job management and consistent colour management across multiple output devices, and also enables automated communication with third-party input and finishing devices via Equios JDF.
The Kern 135 DataTracker is installed at the output end of the Truepress Jet520 and checks each print in real time for nonconformance, stopping the press when necessary. Easy to implement and operate, the Kern 135 DataTracker ensures variable data output is complete and error-free.
The Open House is the first such event held by Kern and is intended to become the first of a regular series of international forums where delegates from the printing and publishing sectors can meet and consult with industry experts in automated mailing and packaging technology.
