GAMA International will launch its G1000 automatic Ink Quality Control system at K 2019

Posted on by

GAMA International will launch its G1000 automatic ink quality control system at K 2019 in Dusseldorf, 16th-23rd October, at Hall 10, stand H26. For the company, the G1000 represents its top of the ink control systems line, fully customizable. 

The G1000 has been developed to keep ink quality stable during the printing process and to reduce solvent and ink consumption. It’s not a simple viscometer, it is a complete automatic system, equipped with viscosity and temperature control, magnetic filter, and sophisticated production controls and customized for each rotogravure machine.

This new system displays several advantages: the viscosity and temperature control of ink allows to reduce the use of solvent and ink, quicker start-ups and waste reduction. Furthermore It reduces ink blade lines, thanks to magnetic filter, attracting steel filings. All those features help making the printing process more productive and efficient.

«Thanks to the adoption of a new heat exchanger, we have achieved remarkably higher performances than previous solutions in stabilization of ink temperature», says Sante Conselvan, Sales Director of GAMA International. «Based on tests carried out during production at different temperatures, a minimum saving of 10% of ink and 25% of solvent was observed. It was calculated a return on investment in only 12 months.».

Zeno Zonato e Federica Draghi: due nuovi area manager in Grafikontrol

Posted on by

Grafikontrol, leader nella produzione di sistemi di controllo per la stampa, annuncia la nomina di due nuovi area manager nella propria organizzazione commerciale. Zeno Zonato è entrato in azienda ad inizio anno con il ruolo di area manager Nord America, Sud Africa  e parte dell’Europa e Federica Draghi, entrata in azienda lo scorso anno, da maggio è diventata area manager costruttori.

Zeno Zonato ha maturato una solida esperienza nel settore converting per la sua attività dirigenziale presso Laem System e in Grafikontrol si occupa del mercato grafico e converting di tutto il Nord America (Stai Uniti, Canada e Messico), del Sud Africa, Turchia oltre a Benelux e parte Ovest dell’Italia. “Il mercato del Nord America è molto importante per noi”, afferma Zeno Zonato. “ Il mercato degli Stati Uniti è da consolidare, abbiamo molte installazioni da seguire e in molti casi da aggiornare con soluzioni di retrofit”.

Federica Draghi è la nuova area manager costruttori, un ruolo nuovo, che comporta la relazione con tutti i costruttori di macchine flessografiche e rotocalco e la gestione di tutte le tematiche relative all’integrazione dei sistemi Grafikontrol sulle rotative. Entrata in azienda un anno fa, fresca di laurea, come assistente di direzione, si è distinta per le sue capacità al punto da essere promossa area manager con questo ruolo delicato.

“La figura femminile in ruoli manageriali è una novità in casa Grafikontrol, così come lo è anche nel mercato in generale”, afferma Federica Draghi. “Io mi sento pronta a raccogliere la sfida di approcciare un settore nuovo, dove è importante consolidare il rapporto fiduciario col costruttore e trovare il giusto equilibrio nel collegamento tra costruttore e cliente finale”.

Un nuovo investimento per la produzione di sleeve e un rafforzamento della collaborazione con ICR sono le novità di Digital Flex a PRINT4ALL 

Monza, 7 maggio 2018 – Digital Flex si presenta a PRINT4ALL, Pad. 18, Stand D08/E07 (Milano, 29 maggio-1 giugno 2018), con una strategia a tutto campo nei servizi di pre-stampa per l’industria dell’imballaggio. Oltre alla realizzazione delle lastre Flexo HD Plus® rafforza la produzione di sleeve in elastomero con l’installazione di una linea produttiva nella sede di Monza. Inoltre, intensifica la collaborazione già esistente con ICR Spa (Incisione Cilindri Rotocalco) proponendo una soluzione di pre-stampa multi tecnologica specializzata nell’imballaggio.

“Lavorando con i grandi brand, ricevevamo richieste di fornitura di lastre fotopolimeriche che dessero la stessa qualità in flessografia che veniva raggiunta in stampa rotocalco”, commenta Andrea Vergnano, Senior Executive Vice President di Digital Flex. “Con questa rinnovata collaborazione con ICR, ci proponiamo di dare un servizio completo, lasciando così all’azienda titolare del brand la libertà di decidere con quale tecnologia stampare. Sarà così un grosso vantaggio sia per i brand owner che per gli stampatori di imballaggi, avere un unico interlocutore per tutti i servizi di pre-stampa”. 

Il nuovo investimento tecnologico

PRINT4ALL sarà per Digital Flex il lancio ufficiale del nuovo impianto di produzione di sleeve. Verrà installato nella sede di Monza due settimane prima della fiera e permetterà all’azienda di aumentare la propria capacità produttiva. Con questo investimento continua la tradizione di innovazione per mantenere alto il livello tecnologico dell’azienda e la sua competitività commerciale: “Non siamo nuovi alla fornitura di sleeve, sia in fotopolimero che elastomero; la nostra esperienza è iniziata nel settore del round circa 15 anni fa, con una partnership ormai collaudatissima con l’azienda francese Medialliance, dove vengono attualmente prodotte le maniche”, afferma Andrea Vergnano.

La scelta di Digital Flex è caduta sulla Flexostar PrintMaster HYBRID 3.1 della Lead Lasers. La macchina dispone di un doppio laser CO2 e YAG, che consente di produrre sia lastre che sleeve. La risoluzione di 5800 dpi con incisione fino a 85 linee per centimetro la posizionano ad un alto livello qualitativo. La macchina consentirà la produzione di sleeve da un minimo di 260 mm ad un massimo di 3000 mm di larghezza.

With the TQC-360° products line Grafikontrol strives to present itself as a global partner covering every aspect of the print production by offering products, applications, processes and services aimed at guaranteeing a defect-free printing. 

360° Solutions for packaging

At PRINT4ALL all Grafikontrol’s TQC-360° systems of quality control and register control for rotogravure, flexo and offset sectors for packaging and labels will be live demonstrated, using two rotary simulators. 

  • MATRIX: the web viewing system is an area camera that moves across the web taking high quality snapshots of the whole running web. The 6 Mpixel camera resolution ensures fantastic quality and realistic colour reproduction. MATRIX can be loaded with multiple options such as statistical inspection, delta colour monitoring with ∆E, barcode verification, print repeat monitoring, UV coating visualization and transparent varnish inspection
  • MATRIX C/S: it is the new matrix system for simultaneous display of the correct superimposition of the front print with glue or varnish applied on the opposite site (duplex register)
  • LYNEX: it is a true 100% inspection system that can be used as a stand alone system or integrated with MATRIX. LYNEX can compare live printing with the PDF file that has been used to produce the printed plates or the gravure cylinders. That provides the operator with the ability to verify if the print matches with the original file
  • LYNEX-S: it is a 100% print inspection system for gravure, flexo, offset, dedicated to narrow web and neutral film including all the LYNEX features
  • LYNEX C/S: it has been designed to inspect the 100% of the web for coating, varnish or cold-seal on printed or base substrates
  • CHROMALAB: in-line real spectrophotometer, to monitor the colour trend of all printed colours; the system provides real time measurement and trends of Spectral curves, Density, dot gain, L*a*b*, ∆E
  • PROGREX: a combination of the functions of MATRIX and LYNEX to form a complete tool, that helps the user with each print phase on gravure flexographic and offset presses
  • CR33-CR34: register controls for rotogravure and flexographic presses that ensures register stability among colours for the entire production and reduces waste
  • PROCHECK: a unique and innovative system for a full defect traceability and removal from printed rolls.
