SL&CS has been running a UV inkjet printing press for a number of years to print labels and tags - such as industrial stickers, electrical test tags, and promotional labels - for small right through to large businesses across Australia.
The need for increased printing speed, printing press reliability and improved quality led to the decision by SL&CS Promotions to update its printing press. Important factors for SL&CS in choosing to partner with Jet Technologies and SCREEN GP were the availability of local support, future product developments and proven installation experience.
“Shane at SL&CS got the whole production team involved in the process of evaluating the printing solutions available with Jet Technologies and SCREEN GP, as it was important that an investment was made in the option that worked not just for the business, but most importantly for those on the ground operating the printer,” said David Reece, Sales Director, Jet Technologies. “SL&CS chose the SCREEN Truepress Jet L350UV inkjet label press.”
The L350UV is recognised as one of the world’s leading inkjet presses for narrow web, with printing speeds of 60 meters per minute, the ability to run a wide variety of existing and new materials from 100mm-350 mm widths, durability and lightfastness of the inks, and a very high print quality.
“Jet Technologies and SCREEN GP couldn’t have been more helpful. Their attention to detail from the trialling phase right through to installation and training, meant the machine was delivered installed, training commenced quickly, and we were producing work for customers within just two weeks,” explained Shane Leer, SL&CS Promotions. “It’s nice to work with companies that do not over sell and deliver everything that was promised.”
SL&CS successfully upgraded to the SCREEN Truepress Jet L350UV with the combined support from SCREEN GP’s engineering and technical service and Jet Technologies’ market knowledge in the flexographic market.
