The Truepress Jet W3200UV flatbed printer.
At FESPA 2013, Screen announced the Truepress Jet W3200UV wide format UV flatbed printer, which has been jointly developed with Inca Digital.
The companies said that the six colour plus white system has been developed as a cost-effective solution for the market looking to upgrade from legacy high-quality, low speed printers to a new-generation printer that delivers high-quality and high productivity.
It has been designed to meet the demands of the POS, signage and decor markets, with the ability to print onto a wide range of rigid and flexible media up to 3.2 x 1.6 metres in size, and up to a maximum 50 mm thickness. A new print carriage design allows the printer to achieve print speeds of 84 square metres per hour (904 square feet per hour). Users can specify colour options to suit their needs: CMYK + LcLm, +LcLmWW or +WW.
Software options include the choice of Wasatch SoftRIP or ColorGATE Production Server 5, alongside Screen EQUIOS workflow automation and PDF Polisher file optimisation software to improve all round quality.
The Truepress Jet W3200UV will be commercially available from October this year. The company is growing its sales activities across Europe and is currently recruiting new specialist wide-format distribution partners in certain territories.
‘The launch of the Truepress Jet W3200UV reinforces our commitment to the wide-format market,’ said Brian Filler, president of Screen Europe. ‘The printer represents a step change for the industry and incorporates the latest UV inkjet imaging technologies to deliver the ultimate in performance and reliability. Our customers want the assurance that they can produce consistent quality graphics, around the clock if need be, with a printer that delivers low total cost of ownership and the Truepress Jet W3200UV is the solution.’
