West Chester, OH-based Triangle Label has invested in a Screen Truepress Jet L350UV inkjet label press.
“We operate four flexo presses but recognize that high-speed digital printing is the future of the label industry,” says Allen Backscheider, co-president of BGR Inc., parent company of Triangle Label. “We wanted the ability to print higher quantities of labels, at higher speeds, with less cost per copy. With the Truepress Jet L350UV, we can offer our customers lower production costs, faster setups and additional substrate choices.”
BGR, a comprehensive packaging company, started in 1972 in founder Al Backscheider’s garage. It matured from a home-based operation into a multimillion-dollar enterprise with 125 employees and a 310,000-square-foot production and warehouse complex.
Triangle Label, already an established printing business when it was incorporated into BGR in 2005, currently employs 11 people (up from two employees in 2008), including an in-house graphics team. It specializes in high-quality custom labels from one color to eight colors, with the ability to print up to 13 inches wide.
In the past two years, Triangle Label recognized the need for a high-speed digital press and began evaluating five manufacturers of digital label presses. After much research and deliberation, the company chose the Truepress Jet L350UV.
“All seven team members unanimously chose the Screen press,” says Tom Hagedorn, plant manager. “The Truepress Jet L350UV provided the proper menu of price, value and quality. Screen has a long history and an excellent reputation in the commercial printing equipment business, including offset digital presses. Now with the Truepress Jet L350UV, Screen has opened up this avenue to the digital roll-to-roll pressure-sensitive label market.”
“We felt that we could work easily with the Screen organization,” adds Scott Kneer, sales manager. “Screen personnel were straightforward and trustworthy. A true partnership developed with them during this process. They also devised a detailed marketing plan and assigned a specialist to assist us in creating a unique market offering in our area.”
The Truepress Jet L350UV is designed to deliver pin-sharp text and photorealistic images using four process colors plus opaque white. The white ink enables backup white for printing on colored and transparent materials.
“The Truepress offers us the ability to print high-quality four-color process labels on a variety of substrates, some of which would have been difficult to run in a traditional flexographic label press,” Backscheider says.
Accommodating a maximum printing width of 12.6 inches, the Truepress Jet L350UV prints at a top speed of 164 feet per minute for productivity of 173.2 square feet of labels per minute.
