Gallus Labelfire 340 for digital label printing

Gallus, a member of the Heidelberg Group, introduced Labelfire 340, a roll-to-roll digital label press now with extended digital and screen inline finishing functions.

Upstream, the hybrid printing machine, the company explains, is equipped with a fully integrated screen printing unit, which enables an opaque white on transparent substrates that can be digitally printed over. Positioned downstream is the new Digital Embellishment Unit (DEU), which can carry out inline coating digitally and apply matte, gloss and tactile spot coating effects to the substrate web in various thicknesses as haptic relief effects. What is new is that by using metallic foils, this relief effect can be executed in metallic looks, which Gallus says was previously not possible on any digital printing machine.
