Screen to preview Aqueous in Label press at Labelexpo Europe

SCREEN will show a technology preview model of its upcoming water-based ink label press, with wider web width, at Labelexpo Europe in Barcelona this September 16th-19th, in Hall 5, stand D55.

Water-Based Inkjet for Labelling

The new Truepress LABEL 520AQ brings Screen’s proven water-based inkjet expertise to label production, delivering offset print quality with the efficiency and flexibility of digital. Designed for converters facing rising production costs and growing demand for premium, sustainable labels, the press achieves a 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution at production speeds up to 100 linear metres per min on a 520mm web with 508mm printing width.

Colour, Contrast, & Versatility

Powered by Screen’s proprietary Truepress SC+ Inks and Advanced Ink Amount (AIA) control system, this solution maintains image fidelity, sharp contrasts, with reliable colour accuracy and, combined with NIR (Near Infra-Red) drying technology, converters can efficiently produce labels with dense ink coverage even on PP (Polypropylene) and BOPP (Bi-axially Oriented Polypropylene) films and offset coated papers, without additional pre-treatment.

Sustainable Label Converting

With its VOC-free water-based ink set and energy-efficient drying, the Truepress LABEL 520AQ supports regulatory compliance and enhances operator safety while helping converters lower their environmental impact. From standard self-adhesive labels to emerging markets such as pharmaceutical, agri-chemical, or wet-glue labels, the press offers converters new opportunities to expand into additional segments while meeting increasingly strict sustainability requirements.

Screen LABEL and PAC products are sold and supported in Australia and New Zealand through Jet Technologies, whose representatives will be at Labelexpo Europe, Barcelona, as well as local Screen GP Managing Director Peter Scott.
