Under its Smart (th)inking slogan at the LabelExpo Americas 2010 Exhibition (Booth 3004, 14-16 September, Chicago USA), GSE Dispensing will show that automated ink logistics are not only eco-friendly; they help reduce running costs by up to 30 percent, while delivering exact color quality and improved productivity.
The company offers a wide range of modular gravimetric ink dispensing systems, tailored to the individual needs of the flexo and gravure printer in many graphics markets. One of the latest additions to the program is the Colorsat Match dispenser for label printing situations. It has been a major success, with over 45 label converters worldwide investing in the system since its introduction. The system specifically enables clean, fast and waste-free recipe preparation in batches of one to five kilograms.
The Match reduces ink usage by dispensing is the exact amount needed for each job. They calculate the volume requirements for the most challenging spot recipes, and dispenses batch to an accuracy of one gram, in less than four minutes.
Furthermore, any excess ink remaining after a print run can be easily reused, located and retrieved from stock. ‘Press return' inks, normally too complex to be calculated manually into new recipes, are thus included in future print runs.
GSE Dispensing will have a table-top display of its dispensing program for the label printer. GSE systems are supported by a high-powered software tool, IMSTM, whose time-saving features include stock control and ink consumption analysis.
