Technology highlights
New product developments in its early years included a sales-topping direct color scanner, the company’s first electronic page makeup system and a scanning device for desktop publishing.

By the 1990s, Screen had cast its eye toward digital workflows. A key milestone was reached with the introduction in 1995 of the PlateRite 1080. The CTP recorder allowed users to write digital computer files onto printing plates. In 2000, Screen unveiled the revolutionary Trueflow PDF workflow management system. Trueflow increased workflow speed and efficiency by digitally organizing individual tasks in prepress and plate production. The same year, Screen premiered its first digital presses, led by the four-color Truepress 544.
