Board Converting NEWS INTERNET DIRECTORY

Mex, Switzerland based BOBST announced a new solution that changes gravure printing from being a highly manual to a fully digitalized workflow process. Aligned with Indus- try 5.0 principles and the pillars of BOBST’s vision for the future of packaging production, smartGRAVURE elevates the operator/machine interface while fully optimizing the gravure process. With automated color management using Bobst oneECG (Extended Color Gamut), digitalized set up and controls, and connectivity with Bobst Connect, smartGRA- VURE is touted to increase productivity and output consis- tency, reduce downtime and complexity, and offer consid- erable sustainability benefits. Delivering premium printing quality results, Bobst says that the smartGRAVURE moves gravure printing to the next level as an end-to-end seamless process, no longer relying on the skills of the individual operator. This will help secure the position and future of gravure, enabling print- ers remain competitive in the packaging market. For brand owners that require premium quality packag- ing, gravure has always been the obvious choice although it has been challenging for printers to meet the increasing demands for shorter print runs, faster delivery and more sustainability, the company said.
