Value Proposition Security Print Quality Unparalleled Versatility Page 9
Value Proposition Print Quality A new benchmark of digital offset print quality for labels. true native 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution smallest droplet (2 pl) and 8 color capability Page 10
How is this level of quality achieved? Dot size & wave form Wave form 1 puls 2 puls 3 puls Print head @ 40-60 khz Sub drops (Merging in print head) 2pl 2pl 2pl 2pl 2pl 2pl Drop 2pl 4pl 6pl Dot (depends on spreading) 38 µm 48 µm 58 µm Share of total print 90% 10% (solids) <0.1% Page 13
Drop size is what really counts! THE SMALLER THE DROPLET the smaller is the SPREAD and the higher the resolution for thin lines and small characters Droplet volume Droplet spread 2pl 6pl ~30 µm ~60 µm Addressability of smaller grid due to minimized spread 21 µm @1,200 dpi More grey scales achievable Artefacts 4x smaller, e.g., in case of crooked nozzle Page 14
Drop size is what really counts! THE SMALLER THE DROPLET the smaller its ink VOLUME Droplet volume 2pl 6pl Droplet spread ~30 µm ~60 µm Better adhesion More substrate variability Need of less curing power due to less volume Less inter color bleeding ~180 µm ~180 µm Less ink consumption in halftone areas Less costs 6x 2pl 3x 6pl ~180 µm ~180 µm Page 15
Eight Digital Colors UV Inkjet DPU print module pinning module web web tension control (register accuracy < 30µm) inspection system web edge control web cleaning cooling drum LED dryer mercury bulb dryer Printing Speed is independent of number of colors Fixed color sequence: White OGV - YMCK Page 17
Eight Colors enables the widest gamut in the industry INK COLOR GAMUT V Page 18
Hassle free brand colors High intercolor register accuracy required no visible color deviations Color Management skills required with knowledgeable prepress Digital spot colors very expensive for digital printing devices and therefore not available Page 19
Gallus DCS 340 sets a new benchmark Digital Offset Quality smaller ink VOLUME Less ink consumption semi gloss surface in half tone areas smaller ink SPREAD more grey scales smaller artefacts higher resolution sharp thin lines and small characters Step less gradients down to 0% natural skin tones Page 20
