Reprobir Dijital has installed a Screen Truepress Jet520NX to meet the growing demand for schoolbooks in Turkey.
The prepress and digital-printing powerhouse was founded in 2011 as a pre-press service provider. Since then, the company is one of the few in the country to only print digitally.
Reprobir co-founder Onur Kemeç said, ‘The machine shows very accurately ahead of a job how much ink it will consume and how long it will take to finish. The press prints 150 metres per minute double-sided in broadcast quality, and 80 metres per minute in the highest quality mode.
‘This means we can adapt the quality and price of the books to the wishes of the publishers. Another feature of the Jet520NX important to us is the fact that it can print on any paper. This was a major advantage when we had paper-supply issues during the pandemic.’
Since investing in the Jet520NX, which uses water-resistant pigment ink, Reprobir has increased its daily printed book copies from 1000 to 8000 and grown its staff to 30 people. In May 2022, the company moved to bigger premises in Ankara.
