The Truepress LABEL 520AQ brings SCREEN’s proven water-based inkjet technology to the label printing market, delivering the image fidelity of analogue printing with the versatility, speed of digital printing to give converters the tools to expand the throughput of their existing workflows, enter new markets, and a smarter solution to meet increasing demand for sustainable, high-quality labels.

Truepress SC+ Ink – Unmatched Functionality for Aqueous Label Printing
The Truepress LABEL 520AQ benefits from SCREEN’s proven Truepress SC+ Ink technology, already widely adopted in commercial printing for its colour quality and substrate flexibility now adapted for the label market delivering.
By eliminating the need for pre-priming, Truepress SC+ Inks allow converters to print directly onto standard offset-coated substrates optimises consumable usage, streamlines production workflows, and reducing overall cost-per-print.
While some water-based inks have struggle to create dense colours, this ink creates deep, intense colours, sharp text and images, all while maintaining optimal ink consumption and minimal substrate bleed even on paper substrates as thin as 40gsm.
SCREEN has collaborated with leading media manufacturers to ensure this new printing technology with ready-made to be fully compatible with important plastic, paper, and even aluminium-based label substrates.
Applications
The Truepress LABEL 520AQ is the ideal solution for a variety of emerging label applications where high-productivity and short-turnaround times are required for profitable, cost-effective label converting.

EQUIOS, SCREEN’s proprietary workflow software, optimises the performance of the Truepress LABEL 520AQ by streamlining the pre-press process and ensuring accurate, efficient printing.
- Automated Job Setup and Monitoring: An intuitive user interface and automated real-time tracking and data processing reduces the need for extensive operator training and manual intervention while monitoring job progress, ink consumption, and print times for consistent, effort free label printing.
- Colour Management & Matching: Automatically manages colour profiles to maintain consistent colour accuracy across different jobs and materials while simplifying spot colour selection and matching for precise reproduction of brand-specific designs consistently across multiple runs.
- Variable Data Printing: Handles high-speed processing of variable elements such as barcodes, QR codes, and personalised text, enabling efficient customisation and individualisation of products at scale.
