LETTERPRESS FAITHFUL GET FEWER

That vision of the industry has prompted what Rudner expects will be the rapid replacement of the company's letterpress units with Gallus em280 UV flexo/screen combination presses. Labelad installed its first eight- and ten-color 11˝ Gallus units last May, and ordered a third in late 2001.

The Gallus UV flexo presses, says Rudner, offer greater efficiency, less waste, and faster changeovers and running speeds than even the Gallus letterpresses that helped establish Labelad in the North American market.
