WHAT’S NEW LiteStyle range from Albion
Standard bearers in a new range of LED technology display products, designed and manufactured in the UK by Albion, were seen for the first time in the UK at Sign & Digital UK. LiteStyle Power
Pocket and Power Beam are the first results of a strategic decision by the company to put new illumination and display technologies at the forefront of its wide- ranging capability.
The double-sided, acrylic Power Pocket adds the holographic effect of LED surface illumination to Albion’s renowned cable and rod display systems, enabling the user’s own poster graphics to be lit up with unparalleled impact. Consistent illumination across the pocket is guaranteed by the design of a special honeycomb light distribution grid on the surface of the acrylic.
Available in many standard ‘A’ sizes, LiteStyle Power Pockets are supplied as kits for use with 1.5mm cable, or 6mm rod, which feed the low voltage power supply direct to the pocket itself. Power consumption is very low and the LEDs themselves have a projected service life of up to 100,000 hours.

Screen has introduced several important new features designed to boost productivity and give the customer more flexibility to produce creative display graphics on the widest possible range of substrates. The versatile 2.5m width hybrid Truepress Jet2500UV printer can now handle five and seven multi-layer printing, allowing users to produce impressive double sided graphics on transparent material without feeding the media a second time; printing the first image followed by a layer each of white, black, white and then the final image.
The Truepress Jet2500UV strikes the perfect balance between high quality and high productivity with near-photo quality printing and short turnaround times. It can produce outstanding graphics on a range of materials including the usually difficult to handle corrugated cardboard and polypropylene for POP applications.
A new post-curing unit for the flatbed 1.6m width Truepress 1600UV-F increases curing power to improve productivity by up to 80% without the need for additional printheads. Other new features include a roll printing option, for continuous or multi-job printing, and clear ink which enables users to achieve spot gloss effects on matt surfaces.
