More than 150 guests arrived at the Heidelberg Print Media Performance & Training Center in Kennesaw, GA, USA, to see the latest in printing innovation. From June 7-8, 2023, attendees at the Heidelberg Innovation Showcase were treated to the world premiere of the Gallus One digital inkjet label press.

Heidelberg North America provided live demonstrations, education, and networking opportunities for printers in the label, packaging and commercial industries. The Innovation Showcase also included the North American debut of the Mastermatrix 106 CSB diecutter.

“For the first time publicly, we are bringing an affordable, highly productive, digital label machine to the industry,” stated Felix Mueller, president, Heidelberg North America. “And for the first time we have it here at this event. This machine has been designed to optimize the user experience, and it’s perfect for ease of use and reliability. In the digital arena, we have an uptime of 95%.

“We have big hopes for this machine,” he added. “The machine will fit perfectly for the American market, and it’s the starting point of further development. Our team has worked late hours to bring this press to the industry, and they did it in a great way.”
