QuadTech and Gallus enter partnership

Designed for offset printers, the QuadTech Color Control System with SpectralCam provides automated, in-line, closed-loop color control. On-the-fly and at full press speeds, it adjusts ink keys to maintain specified color targets, preventing avoidable waste and operator inaccuracies.

Flexo and gravure printers can benefit from the QuadTech Color Measurement System with SpectralCam, which enables in-line monitoring of all packaging substrates, including challenging translucent, transparent and reflective films. Color variations are sent to the operator in real-time to change color specifications, eliminating press stoppages and the manual process of removing sections of the web to measure color.

QuadTech introduced the technology to Gallus' worldwide sales force during its world sales meeting, and will showcase the SpectralCam systems at Gallus Innovation Days, taking place September 23-25.

Utilizing QuadTech technology, Gallus said its customers will be able to quicken make-ready and offer ‘ultimate print quality and productivity’, with in-line color management.

Dr Thomas Weber (pictured), who is responsible for supplier relationship management at Gallus, said: ‘Gallus has vast market experience and the widest customer base in the label printing industry. However, we recognized the opportunity to partner with QuadTech to provide our customers with state-of-the-art spectral color measurement and color control systems, with the automation to drive further reduction in make-readies and savings in valuable substrate waste.’

Stephan Doppelhammer, QuadTech market manager for packaging, said: ‘Gallus and QuadTech are perfectly aligned in the drive to create solutions that maximize customer benefits and profitability. We are delighted to offer a faster way for Gallus customers to achieve and maintain perfect color, for guaranteed high-quality output, optimal performance, cost savings and fast ROI.’
