Mouvent is making
its US debut at Labelexpo Americas 2018, and presenting its Cluster technology
for digital label printing. The Mouvent
Cluster uses extremely compact and lightweight clusters instead of fixed size
print bars by color, arranging them in a modular, scalable matrix. The result
is one system that can be adapted for all sorts of substrates, widths, and for
all type of markets.
‘Mouvent
recognizes the importance of the American label market, and we look forward to
discussing our revolutionary technology with the attendees at Labelexpo,’ said
Dean Haertel, sales, service and marketing manager for label machines for Mouvent
in North America. ‘This is a first step for us in America, a great opportunity
to meet some people and explain how the cluster approach will make digital
label printing more accessible, more flexible, cheaper and simpler, while
maintaining the highest quality standards.’
Mouvent is
currently working on its tailored sales and service structure for the US market
as well as on setting up a show room before offering and selling its solutions
into the country. The company aims to launch the first of its innovations in
America in 2019.
So far, Mouvent
has launched three digital label printers in Europe – the LB701-UV mini label
press, which is the smallest high-productivity label press on the market; the
LB702-UV label press, which allows fast and easy industrial label production at
an incredible TCO; and the LB702-WB label press, which uses only 100 percent
water-based Mouvent inks, making it 100 percent free of VOCs (volatile organic
compounds) and 100 percent food safe.
The three label
printers can all print up to seven colors on a large variety of substrates –
paper, self-adhesive and wet-glue label stock as well as flexible materials –
at production speeds of up to 100 m/min with a native resolution of 1200x1200
and optical 2000 dpi.
‘Mouvent brings a
breath of fresh air to the digital printing industry,’ said Martin van
Waeyenberge, global marketing and sales manager for label machines at Mouvent.
‘People who have witnessed our label printers during live machine
demonstrations or carried out test runs on them were extremely impressed with
their print quality. Providing highly innovative digital printing machines, for
both UV and water-based high-quality label production, at a competitive cost,
is what it’s all about.’
