At Labelexpo Europe 2017, sales of GSE’s Colorsat range of dispensers for mixing ink on demand and reusing press returns in new recipes included three Match systems and two Switch systems to label converters in the UK, India and Ireland. A Colorsat Slim dispenser was sold to a Netherlands-based paper and board converter. Additionally, an Evolution Series table-top proofer was sold to a customer in India.

Further, GSE reported demonstrations of its new ink management software as having been ‘received with enthusiasm’ from label and packaging converters, and ink manufacturers. Designed to eliminate ink-related waste and assure quality in the package printing supply chain, the software features remote connectivity and advanced reporting features to allow traceability and real-time stock information. GSE Ink manager will be launched in early 2018.

Maarten Hummelen, GSE marketing director, said: ‘At GSE, we have extended our focus beyond equipment alone, to provide life-time support programs for eliminating ink-related waste. The sales and interest we have received at Labelexpo is a clear sign the market recognizes the importance of turn-key ink logistics solutions and more sophisticated software in response to shorter production runs and tighter quality controls in packaging and labeling.’
