GSE Dispensing to show automated ink systems at Labelexpo

At Labelexpo Americas, GSE Dispensing will display its ink dispensing products. ‘Automated ink logistics are not only environment friendly – they help reduce running costs by up to 30 percent, while delivering higher print quality and productivity,’ said the company in a statement.

The company offers a wide range of modular gravimetric ink dispensing systems, tailored to the individual needs of the flexo and gravure printer. Among them is the Colorsat Match dispenser for label printing, which has been installed at over 45 label converters worldwide. The system enables clean and waste-free recipe preparation in batches of 1 to 5 kg.

Firstly, the systems reduce ink usage by dispensing exactly what is needed for each job. They calculate the volume requirements for the most challenging spot recipes, and dispenses batch to an accuracy of one gramme, in under four minutes. Secondly, any excess ink that does remain 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 on stand 3004.

Anne Lourens, managing director of GSE Dispensing, said: ‘Ink dispensing systems are ideal for helping flexo and gravure printers keep costs in check, while adopting sustainable, eco-friendly ink logistics practices. With our technology, controlled, repeatable color consistency is easily accessible to those even with limited budgets, for a fast return on investment.’
