FULL STORY
During the ‘Gallus Innovation Days 2014’, taking place from 23 - 25 September, Gallus unveiled its future machine generation for digital label printing. During a world premiere, a pre-series model of the digital printing system was presented to the industry for the first time. Gallus DCS 340 (Digital Converting System) is the designation of the new digital inline label printing system, which has been developed in co-operation with Heidelberg and Fujifilm and will set new standards in digital label production.
Soon to become a reality: Label printing on the new Gallus DCS 340 digital printing press sets new standards. The new Gallus digital converting system prints with a resolution of 1200dpi.

‘Due to continuing growth in short-run label production and personalised, versioned labels, we are seeing investment on the market steadily shift towards printing presses that utilise digital printing. The growth potential for this printing method is considerable and we expect to see high growth rates over the next ten years,’ said Stefan Heiniger, COO Label Business at Gallus Ferd. Rüesch AG. Despite this, many label printers have not yet taken the decision to introduce digital printing - in part due to the compromises that are associated with this process in label printing.
