SCREEN Europe’s Proven and Approved Inkjet Printing for Pharma Leaflets Open House welcomed leading pharmaceutical printing and packaging professionals to its Inkjet Innovation Centre in Amsterdam. SCREEN specialists presented the advanced capabilities of the Truepress JET solutions, designed to ensure consistent and compliant output for patient-critical information.
SCREEN’s SC+ inks deliver offset-equivalent text sharpness and optical density, ensuring small text that meets readability requirements without impacting productivity. Many attendees were particularly impressed to learn that SCREEN digital presses can print on ultra-thin pharmaceutical papers already approved and affordable coated and offset coated papers by major pharmaceutical companies without requiring a primer and the subsequent costs and workflow complexity with the needed high optical density.
Additionally, advanced workflow management and finishing systems support SCREEN’s proprietary EQUIOS software to ensure printing output remains consistent from the very first sheet to the last while supporting more automation freeing operators to complete more job orders all while lowering waste and increasing production efficiency.
These digital printing innovations together support growing initiatives within the pharmaceutical packaging sector to expand just-in-time production strategies, helping pharmaceutical converters improve their overall supply-chain performance, reducing storage requirements, avoiding waste, and improving sustainability initiatives as rapidly shifting regulations risk making large inventories suddenly unusable and require subsequent disposal.
SCREEN Europe also offer its sincere thanks to their event partners who contributed their expertise, including MBO KOMORI, delfort, and Koehler Paper. Their support demonstrated how the strength of an end-to-end integrated production ecosystem starting from substrate manufacturing to folding and finishing solutions can give printing businesses and their exacting clients the confidence that every step of leaflet production has been considered and accounted for.
And they wish to extend a particular thanks to Ralf Kutschera, Head of Strategic Purchasing at Faller Packaging whose keynote presentation proved to be the highlight of the programme. He provided invaluable insights into Faller Packaging’s own digital transformation with SCREEN printing solutions through more than a decade of collaboration with on what they needed from their inkjet systems to be successful for this unique printing application.
Currently, Faller Packaging is producing approximately 50% of all their leaflets using four SCREEN Truepress JET digital presses and expects that amount to increase with a fifth installation planned. Kutschera’s message reinforced the confidence throughout the showroom, saying, ‘Digital printing is no longer about fulfilling a particular niche in our leaflet production workflow. It is increasingly becoming our primary production method as we move forward.’
