FEATURED INSTALLATION



The Label Shoppe, sister company of Gaytan Foods, City of Industry, CA, bought a Screen Truepress Jet L350UV digital press with white ink. Ryan Gaytan, VP, says, "I have been following the evolution of digital label printing technology since I became general manager of The Label Shoppe in 2001. Disappointed, I always arrived at the same conclusion: The right combination of capital investment, operating cost, print quality, and throughput never materialized." Then Gaytan viewed samples printed last spring on the Truepress Jet L350UV. "Gradients were smooth, and solids were dense and free of pinholes and streaks. Most of the digitally printed samples were virtually indistinguishable from their analog counterparts." The press provides productivity of 173.2 sq ft/min.
