Heidelberg has been inviting attendees to embrace the future of “smart, connected printing” with the newest technology from Heidelberg and Gallus. The company is highlighting an ecosystem of advanced, intelligent solutions designed to drive down total cost of ownership, reduce reliance on skilled labor, and future-proof label printing businesses.

At Labelexpo Americas 2024, Heidelberg is touting the unveiling of the latest Gallus One 17″ digital inkjet label press, featuring an extended color gamut at 230 fpm, and brand-new “system to compose.”

With compatibility across leading product lines, Gallus machines now boost enhanced adaptability, modularity, and versatility. Existing equipment can be effortlessly retrofitted or modified, and entirely new configurations can be customized by integrating all proven Gallus Labelmaster modules, up- and downstream, allowing converters to “compose your print masterpiece with the Gallus One.”

Heidelberg and Gallus solutions have been designed to facilitate new levels of adaptability and market-leading levels of speed and quality. Experts are also on-hand to promote Prinect, the workflow that streamlines digital production. The Heidelberg team is also discussing the latest advancements in its Screen technology to embellish and enhance labels.

Gallus also unveiled its latest research breakthrough, Gallus MatteJet technology, which unlocks a premium matte finish previously unachievable with digital inkjet. The innovation brings the possibilities of inkjet technology to the wine label market for the very first time, providing converters with the key to a profitable new area of business growth, and addresses one of the key challenges that has historically restricted the industry’s digital transformation.
