Screen has announced the launch of the SC+ Chroma Package for the Truepress Jet 520HD series of 520mm web width presses. The comprehensive new solution includes upgraded press hardware and software, a wider colour gamut, and SC+ ink – an enhanced version of the current SC inks.

First announced at drupa 2016, SC ink was designed to be printed on both standard coated and uncoated papers without the need for pre-treatment or primer. It met printers’ needs for quick-drying, fast-absorbing inkjet without the added costs of premium grade papers or treatments.
Offset quality is now achievable on standard offset sticks, using high-speed inkjet.
Demand for the ink’s capabilities have grown considerably as print markets face ongoing challenges of paper shortages. SC ink provides versatility for those times when last-minute substitutes for paper stock originally requested by customers are necessary. With an expanded gamut and improvements in hue purity, SC+ inks allow printers to match colours in the widest possible range and at a greater accuracy than SC ink.
The Chroma Package’s engineering offers a newly developed waveform to drive the printer's high-definition heads. The Screen-developed waveform is a propriety algorithm controlling the precise mass, shape, and placement of each ink droplet on the paper. The Package will include Screen's professional services and training to help customers tune the press for maximum colour gamut.
The Chroma Package is available now with new presses. Screen has also begun the process of scheduling field upgrades for existing customers who choose to convert to the new solution.
Screen GP Australia is the local A-NZ office for the company, with Managing Director Peter Scott at the helm.
