Bobst launches new all-in-one line up with Digital Master series

Bobst is enhancing its all-in-one, all-inline portfolio with the new Digital Master series. The Digital Master 340 and Digital Master 510 will change the way label production is set up. They provide a fully digitalized and automated production line, from printing to embellishment and cutting. The Digital Master series is based on a fully modular and upgradeable architecture, enabling customers to build their own press and evolve it over time.

“Developments in label production are moving at pace with brand owners looking for converters that have the ability to deliver faster, better and at more competitive prices. In this context, the Bobst all-in-one platform is a great answer as digitally printed labels can be produced in high quality, with exceptional productivity and at lower costs, from short to long runs,” saidPatrick Graber, strategic marketing manager.

The Digital Master series will be available in 340 mm (13.5 in.) and 510 mm (20 in.) print widths in a new design that has been optimized for full modularity and improved operation and servicing. Like the Master DM5, it offers printing, embellishment, and cutting in a single pass, with native integration between the UV inkjet digital engine and the flexo and converting modules.

Running at up to 100 m/min in four or six colours plus optional digital white, the Digital Master series presses bridge the gap between traditional digital and flexo machines. The modular architecture allows customers to configure the exact machine they need – from a digital-only version to highly customized configuration – integrating all modules available in inline flexo. It also provides the possibility to be upgraded onsite at a later stage.
