As the UK printing industry let out a collective sigh of relief when it became apparent that Ipex 2010 was a massive success, no one was more jubilant than Screen as thousands of visitors flocked to see its market-leading digital print, CTP and workflow products, generating orders that are expected to lead to sales worth around €7.5m worldwide.

The star of Screen’s show was the Truepress JetSX, the world’s first B2 full-colour duplex sheetfed variable printing system, with its four-times-daily demonstrations drawing large crowds.
