Global Print Technology Innovator, Screen, has joined FuturePrint as a partner with a specific focus on their new print technology that has been developed for the fast-changing packaging sector. This decision underlines the commitment that the famous Japanese manufacturer has for developing and integrating new inkjet technology for packaging.

Juan Cano, Business Development Director, Flexible Packaging at SCREEN Europe- Digital Inkjet Printing explains, “Screen has been aware of the FuturePrint events over the past year and have valued the action and the opportunity this growing platform is providing. Now, with the next event focusing on packaging, we have a tremendous opportunity to inform and inspire the community with our new technology which is designed for the flexible packaging sector. I am looking excited by the impact this technology will have and I very much look  forward to informing and inspiring the FuturePrint community with its unique performance advantages.”

In 2020, Screen announced the launch of its Truepress PAC 830F, a new and innovative water-based inkjet digital printing press specifically designed for the flexible packaging industry. The Truepress PAC 830F will be the cornerstone of Screen’s ambitious flexible packaging printing division.

Screen’s new flexible packaging printing technology builds on over 75 years’ experience in engineering of innovative printing solutions for the packaging industry. With the Truepress PAC 830F, Screen responds to the growing demand for technology that allows printing short runs with a much lower production cost than conventional analogue printing systems (Flexo, Gravure or Offset) and a faster time-to-market. The Truepress PAC 830F is 100% digital inkjet, which means it is a non-contact printing deposition process allowing for full colour consistency, exceptional print resolution and sharper detail. In addition to the CMYK printheads, the printing engine provides a heavy white inkjet coverage that achieves a high level of opacity on clear PET and BOPP film substrates.

Marcus Timson, Co-Founder of FuturePrint concludes, “We are delighted to have Screen Europe join us as a partner. The packaging sector is a super exciting one for inkjet and in particular right now there is a sweet spot for flexible packaging. I know by just listening to Juan that Screen has a tremendous opportunity with their innovative technology for this sector and we look forward to learning more about it as the weeks progress to our next set of virtual events in the Autumn. For both Screen, and FuturePrint, watch this space.”
