Viscometers Tackle Re-Moist Adhesives Sticky Issue
Many commercial printers are applying water based re-moist adhesives as part of their printing processes.
Any number of base ink containers is possible, between 12 and 32 components.
GSE Dispensing said that the system easy to install, use, clean and maintain.
Special features include a combined wet and dry cleaning unit, stainless steel horizontal plates to prevent ink clogging, a modular tray design and simplified drum connections.
Buckets can be placed, or removed, at a comfortable working height.
Powered by GSE's proprietary IMS ink management software, the Compact is said to provide a fully integrated, automated ink logistics workflow that is suitable for just-in-time manufacturing operations, where standardised quality is essential.
Make-ready time is reduced, as water-based ink recipes, in batches up to 20kg are created on-demand in two and a half minutes to an accuracy of 1g.
Like other products in the GSE range, the Compact reduces ink consumption and minimises stock levels by calculating exact dosages needed for a particular print run and ensuring fast re-use of return inks in new recipes, said GSE.
Recall of previous dispensing orders is said to ensure identical results for repeat jobs, whilst all colour components for each job are logged in a database for traceability.
Maarten Hummelen, marketing director of GSE Dispensing, said: "We recognise that whilst everyone faces common challenges, such as profit margin pressure, the need for top quality and to offer premium service is important.
Each business's situation is unique.
The re-launched Compact, with its many configuration options, gives the converter the chance to build a system to meet their own individual needs.".
