Screen to show the power of inkjet at PacPrint
Screen GP Australia, a loyal PacPrint exhibitor since the 1980s, is at the 2025 event, at Sydney Olympic Park showground from May 20th – 24th.
Australian Managing Director Peter Scott, recently returned from the Hunkeler Innovation Days, Switzerland, where Screen was a major exhibitor, says:
“Although we will not have equipment on the stand, we will be showing numerous examples and videos of how Screen is changing the high-volume digital printing sector for commercial print, books & magazines, labels, packaging, pharmaceutical inserts, direct mail marketing and more. The Hunkeler Innovation Days were a real eye-opener for me and many visitors and clearly showed that the progress of inkjet as a major print process is unstoppable.”
The print samples to be presented at PacPrint 2025 will cover labels – where Screen, through its partner Jet Technologies, has a major foothold in Australia and New Zealand with the Truepress L350UV series – to other forms of packaging production such as the innovative Truepress PAC 520 – designed to produce recyclable, sustainable paper-based wraps and packs that replace micro-plastic producing hydrocarbon-sourced plastics.
Although paper is re-emerging as a desirable, sustainable packaging medium, the need for certain plastics is still strong in liquid and food packaging. With this in mind, Screen will have several samples of production from its Truepress PAC830F, a mighty 830mm web machine that is over 21 meters long!
“Needless to say,” notes Scott, “having such a huge machine at a trade show is out of the question – even at drupa we exhibited just a unit of the PAC 830F. Never the less, interest here is strong and we will show some stunning examples at PacPrint; flexible pouches and bags in full colour, printed in short runs without using plates. Plus, the inks are water-based and sustainable.”
On the commercial print side, book, brochure and magazine work from the Truepress Jet 560HDX will put to rest any doubts that inkjet can match offset quality. As Scott notes: “The 560HDX was a star at Hunkeler Innovation Days. Printing on standard offset paper media and finished on Hunkeler lines across a 560mm web, the colour and resolution is amazing, as any visitor to our stand at PacPrint will see. Of course, the advantage of printing high value digital is – economy, with no plates and minimum wastage; versatility, the ability to run several jobs in one print run with no interruptions; versioning and personalisation – variable data managed through our EQUIOS workflow.
Attracting equal attention was the Truepress Jet 520NX-AD (Advanced Drying) a 225 metres/min speed machine configured for both CMYK colour and Mono (K only) print, with the ability to ‘park’ the CMY printheads and save ink. Screen will have samples from this machine, including pharmaceutical multi-folded leaflets using finishing by partner company Ibis, UK. This feature extends to ‘lablets’ – labels that combine with a multi-page information pamphlet when unfolded.
Scott says: “The Screen stand E48, centrally located at PacPrint, will be a good place to stop, have a good coffee and chat about the trends that are changing our industry on the commercial print and packaging levels – and witness the real-world end results. There will also be working demonstrations of software and EQUIOS workflow and, for our CtP customers, updates on the latest 4pp, 8pp and VLF setters. I warmly welcome all visitors to call by.”
