Screen will use FachPack 2022 in Germany later this month to show a prototype of a water-based inkjet press for paper-based packaging – the Truepress PAC 520P.
The printer is a high-speed machine said to have a much lower environmental impact than conventional printing processes due to a drastic reduction in energy and material waste. It utilises newly developed proprietary water-based pigment inks that comply with various food-safety regulations.
Also, at FachPack 2022 Screen will continue to promote the Truepress PAC 830F industrial water-based inkjet digital-printing press for flexible packaging plastic films (PET, BOPP). This is now in its final development stages with the first few units expected to hit the market next year.
