Fast Facts:

– Increasing demand for colour books

drove Silhouet’s Truepress investment

– Absence of colour click charges means

lower cost per page and better control

of business costs

– The Screen Truepress Jet520HD offers

great flexibility of light-weight papers and

longer-run covers, at ten times the speedBook print specialist, Silhouet Digital Print,invested in a Screen Truepress Jet520HDcontinuous-feed inkjet press to handle anincreasing demand for colour books. The HDpress replaced a standard Truepress Jet520installed three years prior.

Silhouet, headed up by Peter Debaere, specialisesin printing short-run legal, financial, scientific andtext books. “My first Truepress Jet520 was a veryproductive and reliable press and ideal for theproduction of both mono and low-coveragecolour books,” says Debaere. “But I had seen agrowing requirement for short-run booksincorporating high quality colour for which theTruepress Jet520HD is perfectly suited. The factthat there are no click charges involved meansthat I can print as much or as little colour contentas required by the publisher without having toworry about whether I have incurred a ‘colourclick’. This gives me much better control over thecost structure of my business. My first Truepress

Jet520 completely changed and expanded mybusiness and I fully expect the HD model to dothe same!”

Workflow is key to automationLike all Screen inkjet presses, the Screen TruepressJet520HD is driven by Equios. The powerfulprepress tools and advanced RIP technologyensures that no matter how complex the project,the printer is never waiting for data. ThroughEquios, Screen also exploits its unique colourscreening technology to get the most out of eachhead and ink technology. “Screen has great colourmanagement tools within Equios and what isparticularly effective is the ability to control theamount of ink that I use for different jobs – thishas a big impact on my cost per page”adds Debaere.

While Silhouet generally prints coverson cut-sheet toner devices, the TruepressJet520HD’s ability to print on to board up to250gsm creates an interesting possibility toproduce covers using inkjet. “With a paperrange of 40gsm to 250gsm, the Jet520HDoffers me great flexibility from light-weighttext papers for journals and high-extentbooks through to giving me the option ofprinting longer run covers at ten times thespeed,” concludes Debaere.

Silhouet’s Truepress is complemented bya Hunkeler cut-sheet line to prepare bookblocks which are then bound with a Horizonbinding system.

The easy-to-use Truepress Jet520HDdelivers superb consistency and reliabilityto maximise uptime and production capacity.“The uptime is incredible,” says Debaere.“Job set up is simple and fast and then Ican just leave the printer to run.” �
