With brand owners expecting repeatable quality consistency, and total just-in-time delivery flexibility from their suppliers, a fail-safe system for effortless colour-on-demand recipe management is a must. GSE helps printers meet these challenges, by combining highly sophisticated and reliable gravimetric dispensing systems, with technical expertise and a global customer support network. The companys programme covers systems for the graphics, textile and coatings markets, with over 1300 installations worldwide.
COLORSAT COMPACT SYSTEM
GSEs dispensing system highlight is the relaunched Colorsat Compact for the flexo / gravure paper, board and flexible packaging converter. Solvent and water-based ink recipes, in batches of up to 20 kg are dispensed on-demand, in as little as two and a half minutes, to an accuracy of 1 g.
The new version offers greater modularity: the converter chooses the specification level that enables a fast return on investment for their business. Any number of base ink containers is possible between 12 and 32 components. It is extremely easy to install, use, clean and maintain. Special features include a combined wet and dry cleaning unit, stainless steel horizontal plates to prevent ink clogging, a modular tray design and simplified drum connections. Buckets can be placed or removed at an ergonomical working height.

The company will be demonstrating the latest version of its proprietary IMS (Ink Management Software), which powers the ink dispensing systems. IMS 3.61 includes features such as anilox roll correction, bucket parking to save losing partly dispensed recipes, and a user interface in several languages.
