Screen aims to hit customer sweet spots at Fespa 2010

Screen will showcase new imaging capabilities of two of its large-format hybrid inkjet printers - the 2.5m-wide Truepress Jet2500UV and the 1.6m-wide Truepress Jet1600UV-F - at Fespa 2010. Visitors will see the Truepress Jet2500UV producing images on roll-fed and flatbed format material at up to 1,500dpi using its high resolution greyscale printhead with new multi-layer function. The ability to print multiple layers has been improved from two to five; this enables the production of sophisticated graphics such as images that can be viewed from both sides on transparent material. Without feeding the media a second time, the Truepress Jet2500UV will print the image layer, then white, then black, then white again before the final image layer.
