Results of the LabelExpo 2013 EUROPE Exhibition

25.10.2013

The Company NuovaGidue - is one of the permanent participant of the exhibition LabelExpo. This year visitors of the exhibition had an opportunity to see all the innovations on two stends in 11 and 12 halls.
GIDUE was the only press manufacturer to show four printing presses, all with live demonstrations at Labelexpo 2013 show.
The revolutionary GIDUE Digital Flexo™ Technology has been shown at Labelexpo 2013 on the complete program of GIDUE Flexo presses. M1 line for labels and thin carton; M3 for Labels and Packaging; M5 for unlimited substrates.

«With Digital Flexo™ Technology we substitute the eyes and the fingers of the operator with “digital” eyes and “digital” fingers. A High-Definition Camera on each print unit and digital automation for the print pressure adjustments greatly reduces the manual intervention of the operator during set-up and production. Most of the adjustments on the press are digitally operated: pre-register, register, print pressure. It’s like having one “digital” operator constantly standing in front of each print unit with two main advantages: the digital vision accuracy of High-Definition Camera is clearly higher than the eyes of the operator at any speed and the “digital” operations are, by definition, consistent and predictable. Thus a Digital Flexo press not only performs the lowest waste in the market, but also the most consistent, predictable and repeatable printing and die-cutting quality.» says Federico d’Annunzio, President of Nuova GIDUE.

During the show the three Digital Flexo™ lines have been demonstrated live with full job change overs and wastes of less than 10 meters performed by each press (M1, M3 and M5).
«Labels and Packaging converters have appreciated the advantages of the next generation of printing machines. With “digital” operations and performances the role of the press operator changes dramatically: he can concentrate on the “last mile” of top printing quality and on organizing the work flow around the press to achieve the highest productivity and finally the highest profitability for the press» says Maurizio Trecate, VP Sales.
A specially dedicated M3 Digital Flexo™ press for Label and Packaging was shown, out of Gidue booth in hall 11, at the Package Print Area in Hall 12 organized by Tarsus together with another digital press manufacturer, XEIKON NV. , showing an integrated printing and converting production flow for carton boxes.

«We had the opportunity to explain to hundreds of label converters each day the technologies in tension and temperature control which make the transition to packaging for label printers greatly supported by new digital automation technology. Changing substrate is today a matter of minutes with automatic tension and temperature auto-settings for each substrate, and automated print pressure and register adjustment
GIDUE Digital Flexo™ technology can further support label converters providing fully digitally automated change over operations; a big opportunity opens for label converters looking for growth and for higher profitability.
