Gallus is now offering a new 5-color version of its digital hybrid flexo press, the Gallus Labelfire E 340. The 5-color Labelfire (CMYK plus digital white) provides a low cost entry point to those looking to produce digitally finished labels in a single pass on an industrial platform.
Launched in 2016, the Gallus Labelfire 340 is an 8-color digital production system combining UV inkjet printing quality with the proven inline embellishments and converting efficiency of traditional Gallus presses. The advanced inkjet system, co-developed with Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg), features 1200 dpi inkjet heads from Fujifilm.
The 5-color offering Gallus Labelfire E 340 will have the same reliability and 1200 x 1200 dpi image quality as the 8-color, fully-featured version without orange, violet, and green inks. The new model can be configured based on the current needs of the customer to provide the lowest cost of entry when it comes to getting started with digital hybrid label printing and the whole system is integrated into Heidelberg’s print media workflow Prinect. Those customers who purchase the 5-color Labelfire will have the ability to upgrade to eight colors and add further embellishing options, including screen, cold foil, additional flexo, etc. as the need arises or their business grows.
“We have many customers who want to get into digital hybrid printing but do not need the complete high-end, fully featured configuration that an 8-color Labelfire provides,” explains Michael Ring, head of digital solutions at Gallus. “This new 5-color version allows them to get started in the digital arena but still provides the flexibility for expansion in the future while protecting their initial investment.”
The 5-color Gallus Labelfire E 340 can be ordered immediately worldwide, with expected delivery starting in April of 2019. The recent integration of the Gallus sales and service units into the sales and service organization of Heidelberg offers customers a complete print shop solution for label printers with reliable equipment, parts, service and consumables support all from a single source.
