Hot on the heels of the installation of a Screen Truepress Jet L350 SAI inkjet label press in New Zealand, another one is now fired up across the Tasman at Labels Plus, Brisbane. Both were sold through Jet Technologies, with installation and service back-up by Screen GP Australia.

Commercial label printing specialist, Label Plus, is now providing its customers with the latest advancement in printing technology following its recent investment in the L350UV SAI Inkjet Press from Jet Technologies, making it the very first of its kind in Queensland.
Label Plus offers a wide variety of self-adhesive labels from its production site in Luscombe, Queensland, with its sister- company (Labelhouse) based in Melbourne, Victoria. Its printing production includes flexography, offset and digital and its diverse customer-base is across pharma, health & beauty, chemical, food, household and wine.
“Our company’s objective is to achieve complete customer satisfaction in all facets of our operations and to be a preferred supplier within the printing industry,” explained James Atkins, General Manager of Label Plus. “Therefore, our focus is on providing excellent quality, whilst maintaining a flexible approach to production, thus offering short lead times at a competitive price.”
“In a challenging industry, Label Plus has evolved into a dynamic organisation, by seeking and embracing new technologies and systems. We’re excited to be elevating our printing quality and customer service even higher with the addition of the L350UV SAI.”
Sold and installed by labels & packaging specialist, Jet Technologies in combination with Screen GP Australia, the L350UV SAI supports printers to significantly increase turn-around speeds for digital printing jobs by automating the process. With its software generated ‘lead in, lead out’ and ‘reverse-feed’ function, the system also works to considerably lower ink and material waste, reducing overhead costs and improving sustainability standards within operations.
Screen's L350UV SAI is the most flexible and automated label production system in its class. The machine installed is a seven-colour model ( CMYK + Orange and Blue for extra vibrancy, + White) and runs at 60 linear meters per minute, with a web width up to 350mm. When using the high-opacity white ink, a minor reduction in speed, 50 meters per minute, is necessary. It is fully supported by local Jet Technologies and Screen factory-trained engineers. The L350 SAI delivers unrivalled colour reproduction as well as superior scalability, enabling it to meet an even wider variety of market needs.
“We’re excited to have partnered with Label Plus to enhance their digital printing production and provide the company with the necessary edge to remain on top in a competitive industry,” said David Reece, Sales Director of Jet Technologies. “Installation and training on the L350UV has now been completed and the printing press is not only meeting, but exceeding Label Plus’ well-informed expectations.”
Label Plus added the L350UV SAI to their digital label production capabilities after a very thorough evaluation process of a number of options, including spending time with Jet Technologies in the UK at some impressive L350UV SAI users, in order to properly understand the benefits and how it was being utilized in another sophisticated market.
