Since the release of the Truepress Jet L350UV digital label press, Screen has recognised the need for its own label finishing system and the result is the JetConverter L350, an advanced label converting line to partner with its Truepress Jet L350UV digital label press.

It is a modular device that can include slitting, die-cutting, matrix stripping, corona treatment, varnish, up to two flexo units, laminate, tinting, cold foil and up to twelve auto-slitting knives.

Many options can be built into a JetConverter, both in the factory and in the field as upgrades.

Labels rewound on the JetConverter L350 are finished and ready to ship to customers.

Peter Scott, Screen GP Australia managing director, said that because of the unique nature of every label printer’s requirements, JetConverters will be built to order.

Screen’s JetConverter L350 matches the Truepress Jet L350UV’s 350mm maximum web width and will take widths down to 200mm.

Offline it runs at 64 metres per minute for increased finishing output. When the inline connection is available from June 2015, speed is matched to the press at 50 metres per minute.

Scott said this world-leading label converting technology has comprehensive converting capabilities” yet it is surprisingly easy to operate, with all key settings made on the front panel LCD screen.

Screen displayed a large backlit image of the JetConverter at the recent PrintEx exhibition, behind the working demonstration of the Truepress Jet L350UV.

The Screen JetConverter L350 is available through Jet Technologies which is also the distributor of the Screen Truepress Jet L350UV digital label press.
