Gallus unveils Labelmaster Advanced
Heidelberg subsidiary Gallus launched the Advanced configuration of its Labelmaster conventional press at stands 5B28 and 5C31. The modular machine boasts a short 1.4m web path and a maximum speed of 200 metres per minute, making it the fastest Gallus label press ever. "By offering this modular system, Gallus is ensuring that label printers can satisfy prevailing market requirements and always remain fit for the future – all for a level of investment that would previously have been inconceivable for premium products," said Matthias Marx, head of corporate communications at Gallus.

Mouvent makes its trade show debut
Mouvent, the new joint venture between Bobst and Radex, is showing off its digital label presses on stand 3A60 alongside Bobst. The LB series includes the LB-701UV mini label press, the larger LB-702UV press, and the LB-702WB press, which uses water-based inks for food and beverage labels. The machines are all built around the 'Mouvent Cluster', which uses modular, scalable technology to avoid the need for different print bars for different widths and applications. "The Mouvent Cluster is the key technology behind the Mouvent machines, resulting in high optical resolution for a crisp, colorful, very high printing quality, as well as a never-seen-before flexibility and possibilities in terms of machine development. Simplicity is our engineering philosophy," said Piero Pierantozzi, co-founder of Mouvent.Global Graphics teams up with HP for Indigo labels and packaging RIP
