SCREEN Graphic Solutions Co., Ltd. has received the 2024 Technology Award from the Japanese Society of Printing Science and Technology (JSPST). The award is in recognition of the Truepress LABEL 350UV series, a group of independently developed UV inkjet systems for label production.
Screen executives receiving the JSPST award
The JSPST presents these awards annually, to recognize technology that has made an outstanding contribution to the printing industry’s growth. The selection process entails evaluating a company’s level of innovation, progress, marketability and expandability as it is reflected in the technology.
Screen's advanced Truepress LABEL 350UV series delivers superior productivity that enables printers to meet tight deadlines that are frequently required for small to medium print jobs. The series features a wide color gamut enhanced by orange and blue inks, highly stable color reproduction, and easy touchscreen operation for accurate color matching and exceptional printing.
The Truepress LABEL 350UV series uses Screen's own Truepress ink LV02, which was developed specifically to comply with increasingly stringent international regulations on ink composition. The series is compatible with the company’s proprietary high opacity white mode and fade-resistant yellow ink, allowing the series to handle an even wider array of applications. This wealth of features has earned the trust of customers worldwide.
Low migration inks for food packaging a factor
When evaluating the candidates for this year’s awards, the judges praised the Truepress LABEL 350UV series’ outstanding contribution to the development of label printing technologies. They specifically cited its excellent productivity, quality and stability, as well as its ability to use low migration inks suitable for food packaging products along with its added orange and blue ink capabilities. The judges noted the series’ impressive range of features, including its variable printing functions designed for very small runs, and the company’s continual efforts to develop new models.
This is the fifth time in six years that Screen has received an award issued by JSPST. Future plans include further accelerating its development of high-speed, superior quality inkjet technologies, solutions for production line automation and high-performance inks.
Screen GA President Yukiyoshi Tanaka says: “Label and package printing continue to expand, thanks to their use in producing daily necessities, but most of this work uses 
Screen President Tanaka analog methods. Many issues need to be addressed in these fields as we try to achieve a sustainable society, including how to respond to its increasing diversity and reduce the amount of waste generated during production. At Screen, we hope to contribute to the transformation of society through the promotion of digital printing, which offers both environmental and economic advantages.”
Tanaka-san continues: “Our Truepress LABEL 350UV series has been widely praised by customers for the high throughput it offers when dealing with small- to medium-lot work on tight schedules, its faithful reproduction of colors for repeat jobs, and its simple, intuitive operation. We are extremely happy the series has now received this award from JSPST as it truly validates the high level of its technology. As solution creators, we are committed to the ongoing development of new technologies. We will continue to make the improvements required by both the label business and by operators at printing sites. This will enable us to support further growth of the printing industry while also helping our customers to expand their individual operations.”
In Australia and New Zealand, Screen is represented by local Managing Director Peter Scott and a team of service technicians. Screen's LABEL series are sold by dealer Jet Technologies.
