Celebrating its 50th year at the stand, GSE has displayed its newest ink management innovations that are driving digitalization in label and packaging printing. These products support efficient, responsive, and sustainable operations, assuring repeatable color quality without waste at every step, as well.

These have been presented under the banner: “Where ink meets intelligence.”

GSE’s offerings also center around its GSE Ink manager suite of software programs. These programs automate and simplify processes, as well. Plus, the Colorsat range of modular ink dispensing systems is tailored for packaging applications and business needs. 

Maarten Hummelen comments, “Control over ink processes and knowing more about your resources – whether you work with spot colors or expanded gamut – are critical features of a fast-response, sustainable package print operation.”

Colorsat Ink Dispensers

GSE’s Colorsat dispensing systems achieve accurate, repeatable spot color quality, on-demand, the company says. Potentially cutting ink consumption by up to 30%, the dispensers help converters to reduce ink-related waste and carbon emissions.

Additionally, Colorsat automatic dispensers offer compliance with food safety standards on ink handling. This occurs by facilitating direct connection of ink ingredient barrels, drip-free barrel exchange, and blending without manual intervention.

Plus, Colorsat dispensers are customized to ink-set and volume requirements. Their modular design features interchangeable components, offering efficient footprint, extendibility and easy adaptability to changing ink usage needs. In addition, the Colorsat Switch dispenser, exhibited, uses exchangeable buckets and drums and a modular, space-saving waterfall frame.
