These users are the growing base of users of the its flagship commercial press. However, Screen believes that there will no difference in perception for the vast majority of users. This means that throughput can be increased from 50m/minute currently to 75m/minute and 120m/minute, reducing print resolution from 1200x1200dpi to 1200圆00dpi and then 600圆00dpi. “Ninety percent of the energy delivered is used to evaporate the water from the surface of the paper,” says Cees Rem, Screen Europe’s TruePressJet 520 product manager. The technology is tuned to deliver energy at a fixed frequency which heats only water molecules and not the paper printed on. The new drying system is an Adphos NIR (near infra red unit). These enable the press to print on standard offset papers without pre or post treatment, lowering the cost of paper for litho subsection print significantly. The press already uses a heated drum and hot air dryers to dry the SC inks that are unique to Screen. Screen is enhancing its TruepressJet 520HD continues feed inkjet press with a new drying system to enable the press to print at up to 120m/minute. “We can print on materials that weren’t possible five years ago.The TruepressJet 520HD will be fitted with Adphos NIR dryers, a move which will open the way to faster production with out damaging quality or production. New printing technology has been among the keys to being able to meet customer demands. They seem to bring us with them and that’s grown our business,” notes Teich. “It’s a small industry and people move around. Business comes from a steady stream of referrals and recommendations. Paying attention to customer service has paid long-term dividends. We take it from the idea to the finished application.” “Just with a basic concept, we will go to work creating prototypes. “In many instances they come to us with a concept and they leave it up to us to offer a solution,” Teich explains. While some clients hire Color-X to execute ideas, many others come to the company hoping to take advantage of its experience and expertise. It’s definitely opened the doors for a lot of unique projects.” Some of those unique projects include a wallscape for New York City’s Museum of Modern Art and numerous exhibits for the city’s American Museum of Natural History. “We work with architects, corporate clients, retailers, museums, exhibit houses, event companies, and designers. “We definitely got into markets we typically weren’t involved with,” Teich explains. Today Color-X offers an array of printing services including dye sublimation, direct digital printing to rigid substrates, ultra-wide inkjet printing, digital C-prints, and screen printing.Īdopting new technologies like large-format and digital printing has opened new doors for Color-X. The quality was nowhere near what it is today but it was something no one was doing so it generated a lot of interest.”Īs clients became more aware of what could be done, Color-X responded with new equipment and capabilities such as grand-format digital print technology. “We were printing on tiles, wood, and metal over 10 years ago. “In the beginning we had a proprietary inkjet printer that printed on rigid materials before flatbed printers were introduced,” recalls president Gary Teich. By watching, listening, and reacting to customer needs, Color-X’s business has expanded into new printing and substrate technologies. Thirteen years ago, Color-X of New York, N.Y., was producing large-format C-prints for corporate clients.
