Mouvent digital label presses get a world premiere

The new printers are two UV-bales label presses, the LB 701 UV mini label press and LB 702-UV label press. The third, LB702-WB is a water-based label press, which Mouvent said, is a game-changer in digital label production using only 100% water-based Mouvent inks, making it 100% free of VOC and 100% food safe.

All the three label printers, completely built in-house, can print seven colours on a variety of substrates like paper, self-adhesive and wet-glue labelstock and flexible materials. The Samba printhead fires a resolution of 1200x1200 and optical 2000 dpi at a production speed of up to 100 m/min.

“Central to the digital innovation of these machines is the patented Mouvent Cluster, an ingenious digital printing technology based on a highly integrated cluster, which represents a quantum leap for the industry,” said Piero Pierantozzi, co-founder of Mouvent. “The Mouvent Cluster is the key technology behind the Mouvent machines, resulting in high optical resolution for a crisp, colourful, very high printing quality, as well as a never-seen-before flexibility and possibilities in terms of machine development. Simplicity is our engineering philosophy.”

The LB702-UV and LB702-WB will go to their beta sites for final pre-market testing in the coming weeks after the show.

“We are so excited to be able to share these machines with everyone at Labelexpo,” said Simon Rothen, CEO of Mouvent. “We believe we are at the start of something very special. Each one of these three machines represents a leap forward in its range, and together, they will take digital label printing to a whole new level. We look forward to bringing these to market as soon as we can so that people can benefit from this innovative technology.”
