On-Demand Turns Full-Production Color

Screen showed the TruePress 544, a B3-size, four-color digital press that uses on-press imaging technology to expose and develop the printing plate. Screen also introduced the TruePress 744, a four-color, B2 press—fully automated and capable of 8,000 impressions per hour, with on-press imaging. Shown for the first time in Europe was Screen's TruePress V-200, a sheetfed, toner-based, monochrome printer for A3-plus sheets, which is capable of RIPing data and printing at 400 pages per minute for A4 and 200 pages per minute at A3. Its 12,000 pages per hour (pph) single-sided printing is on par with conventional sheetfed offset. For two-sided printing, it exceeds offset at 24,000 pph.
