Break through to drupa 2020

Break through to drupa 2020 with the Technical Services team from Global Graphics Software.

Delivering a new device to the market is a huge undertaking; you must source heads and driver electronics, design mechanical systems and create inks. This is of course an over simplification as sourcing or developing all the components is just the start, you now need to make it all work together.

Once you have all these components working together you then need to source software to drive the device at the speed and to the quality your market requires. Finding yourself at this point just before a show like drupa, a show that only happens every four years, will test any product and development manager’s nerve.

Not only is the software choice key for delivering market leading quality and speed, but it may also need to evolve rapidly as you lead up to drupa 2020 to deal with limitations in your new device’s fixed components.

At Global Graphics Software we understand the pressure you are under to get your device finished leading up to a show like drupa. As well as offering a single source for all your software we also actively work with you to evolve the software rapidly to solve your device’s and market’s unique challenges. We have a team of experts including principal software engineers, color scientists and screening scientists who are on standby to join your engineers at a moment’s notice.

If you have Global Graphics Software technologies somewhere in your device, you can call on our Technical Services team to break through to drupa 2020. They can help accelerate and break through any challenges you find as you work towards the show. They can even help in areas where you haven’t chosen to use Global Graphics Software technologies.

As you can imagine our Technical Services team is in great demand, let us pencil in some time for your team by reaching out to us at: technicalservices@globalgraphics.com.

New to inkjet? Come and see us at Hunkeler Innovationdays

If you are new to inkjet and are building your first press no doubt you’ll have many questions about the workflow and the Digital Front End.

In fact, you’re probably wondering how to scope out the functionality you need to create a DFE that is customised to exactly what your customers require. Among your concerns will be how you’re going to achieve the throughput you need to keep the press running at rated speed, especially when handling variable data. Or it might be handling special colours or achieving acceptable image quality that is keeping you awake at night.  And how to achieve this without increasing the bill of materials for your press?

At Hunkeler Innovationdays we’ll have a range of resources available to address just such questions with some real case study examples of how our OEM customers have solved the problems that were causing them a headache using our technology and the skills of our Technical Services team.

For instance, how, on a personalised run, when every label or page might be different, can you stop the press from falling idle whilst the RIP catches up?  Our ScreenPro™ technology helps Mark Andy cut processing time by 50% on the Mark Andy Digital Series HD, enabling fully variable (every label is different) continuous printing at high-speed and at high-quality.

How can you avoid streaking on the image if your substrate is racing under your printheads at speeds of up to 300m/min for aqueous and maybe 90m/min for UV.  Or mottling? The Mirror and Pearl Advanced Inkjet Screens™ available with ScreenPro have been developed specifically to address these problems.

During the lifetime of the press, how can you avoid variations in quality that look like banding because your printheads have worn or been replaced?  Take a look at what Ellerhold AG has achieved by deploying PrintFlat™.

The ScreenPro screening engine is one of the building blocks you’ll need for your inkjet press. Our Fundamentals components provide other functions that are essential to the workflow such as job management, soft proofing, and colour management.

Using a variety of white papers, print samples, video footage and case studies , we’ll be sharing our experience.  So, come along and meet the team:  that’s me, Jeremy Spencer, Justin Bailey and our colleague Jonathan Wilson from Meteor Inkjet if you want to chat about their printhead driver electronics that are endorsed by the world’s leading industrial inkjet printhead manufacturers.
