At our booth, customers can expect that we will be ready to discuss any questions on the integration and our entire label product portfolio. We’ll also be demonstrating two products: the new Gallus Smartfire and the Heidelberg Omnifire 250.”
Gallus’ Smartfire is a new, fully-featured, value offering for digital narrow-web label printing that is focused on ultra-short runs. The Smartfire will make its North American debut in the Gallus-Heidelberg booth at Labelexpo only a few months after it originally premiered at Gallus Innovation Days in late June.
The Omnifire 250 will accompany the Smartfire in Booth 6150 at Labelexpo. Heidelberg’s “4D Printer” combines advanced Inkjet technology with high-precision robotics and can personalize and customize most three-dimensional products.
Customers can meet Chris Brooks at Labelexpo Americas 2018, which will take place September 25-27 at Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in
