Digital Inkjet for Greek Newspaper Printing
The decision to install two Truepress JET 520NXs was driven by Acropolis Printers Hellas’ positive experience with their previous SCREEN’s digital inkjet presses installations, their reliability, exceptional printhead technology, intuitive software, and outstanding technical support.
With the Greek newspaper industry heavily dependent on reliable logistics, Acropolis Printers Hellas’ ability to print on-demand newspapers quickly as needed is critical. In a market where printed newspapers are needed seven days a week, year-round, and distribution is complicated by many islands where flights and ferries need to be carefully coordinated to ensure timely delivery, any print production delays could result in costly disruptions throughout the entire supply chain.

Looking forward, Acropolis Printers Hellas is exploring new market opportunities enabled by the expanded capacity and reliability of the Truepress JET 520NX. Potential avenues include books-on-demand, university publications, pharmaceutical materials, and government communications, all significant growth sectors in the Greek commercial printing market.
