Screen to Launch Jet 520HD+ Inkjet with Adphos NIR Dryers
Screen is to show off a new inkjet press, the Truepress Jet520HD+(plus), at next month’s Hunkeler Innovation Days (HID) event in Lucerne, Switzerland.
Essentially this is an updated version of the existing 520HD, which was first announced back in 2014. This new version has a new Near InfraRed NIR dryer developed by Adphos. This produces a specific wavelength, which is absorbed by the water in the ink but not the water content of the paper. The result is that it leads to much more efficient drying of the ink but without damaging the paper. Martijn van den Broek, Screen Europe’s marketing manager,
