The Truepress Jet L350UV nabbed a gold trophy at the eighth annual European Digital Press (EDP) association awards, held at last month's FESPA Digital show in Munich. Screen's leading digital label press took home the prize for "Best Label Printing Solution", beating out a pool of more than 120 international suppliers and cementing Screen's commitment to this vibrant and demanding market.
Across 28 categories the EDP association selected the best of the best, recognising innovative new technology launching into the digital printing market. The Screen Truepress Jet L350UV won acclaim for print widths up to 322 mm, productivity at 16.1 sq/m per minute from a lineal speed of 50 m/minute and photo-realistic image quality. According to Peter Scott, managing director, Screen Australia, the win rewards the company's ongoing attention to technical quality.
"The Truepress Jet L350UV shows Screen's commitment to provide the label and packaging markets with high-quality, ultra-reliable imaging and digital printing solutions. The rigorous selection process for the EDP Awards means that only the best products win, so we're naturally delighted and honoured," said Scott.
The Screen Trepress Jet L350UV debuted at last year's PacPrint in Melbourne where it snapped up a Print21 Hot Pick award. The award was personally presented to Screen president Katsuhiko Aoki who had flown in especially to mark the occasion.
The EDP was founded in 2006. It is assembled from a range of leading European technology magazines, with a technical panel of independent consultants, journalists and industry professionals. According to Rudolf Messer, president, EDP, this year's turn-out, including the Screen Truepress Jet L350UV, has truly set the bar to new heights.
“The amazing number of altogether 60 nominated products by the technical committee of EDP shows the innovation power in our digital industry”, said Messer.
