Screen Truepress Jet520
April 21, 2008
We have been discussing the hype in the popular press that new inkjet technologies will be shown at Drupa that could result in inkjet becoming the dominate technology used for commercial printing. Although not as new as the rest one other to consider is the Screen Truepress Jet520.
On Jan 26 2006 at IPEX Screen introduced the Screen Truepress Jet520 continuous feed, single-pass system. Previewed at Ipex, the Jet520 combined Piezo drop-on-demand (DOD) inkjet heads manufactured by Seiko Epson and water-based pigment inks. The Truepress Jet520 which is also sold as the IBM Infoprint 5000, can print onto a variety of stock, from inkjet paper to standard paper and even uncoated paper.
The Truepress Jet520 can print up to 210 ft/ min to a width of 165in which equates to 25,200 A4 color pages per hour simplex, 50,400 pages an hour duplex and 37,200 3-page leaflets per hour. The first duplex model has just been joined by a single-engine duplex model which gives users the freedom to configure a line up to suit a variety of applications. Screen Truepress Jet520 is in the region of $3.1 million.
