The Gallus Group will be presenting the Linoprint L drop-on-demand system from Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG at Labelexpo, the technology’s first appearance at a tradeshow since the group acquired the sales licence in June 2013.
Two of the digital printing systems in different working widths will produce challenging variable short runs at the Gallus Group stand.
While a 210mm system and the Gallus ECS C will be integrated into the Gallus Print Shop for hybrid label production, the 315mm system will give visitors an insight into the higher print quality made possible by the new digital front end.
Other features of the system include zero waste following interruptions to the production run, precise insetting on pre-diecut rolls and printing at up to 48m/min. In tandem with a printing width of up to 315mm, this speed ensures optimum productivity in digital printing, said the Gallus Group.
The Linoprint L augments Gallus’s portfolio of flexo, offset and screen printing solutions by adding a digital printing solution for short and/or variable runs in the label sector, said the company.
Thanks to its UV inkjet technology with 600dpi native resolution, the Linoprint L digital print system delivers high-quality four-colour prints with fonts down to 2 point and hidden security elements.
The Heidelberg Prinect Digital Print Manager Label – the digital front end developed by Heidelberg for this printing system – draws on the Prinect workflow technology already in use in offset printing for over 10 years and supports the use of Heidelberg colour management.
