On Drupa we introduced DYNASTAR, the firstshort run rotogravure press.

The future of rotogravure printing

Wouldn‘t it be fantastic to optimize the rotogravure process forshort jobs?

We did the first step!

Innovative press concept

§ Designed for hollow cylinders§ Fastest change-over§ Job preparation beside the press§ High printing efficency and overall output§ Same printing system, same inks, same printed

product just as with wide presses

DYNASTAR – Our answer to shorter jobs and digital printing

DYNASTAR is runningin South East Asia already!

§ Small-scale investment§ Minimum storage space and -costs§ Reduced cylinder handling costs§ Low transport costs and shorter delivery time

§ Innovative lightweight cylinders are underdevelopment by &and other partners.

DYNASTAR – The answer to shorter jobs and digital printing

It‘s not only the presses:Service is most important as well!

Thinking about digital printing ...

§ We believe that digital printing will grow in long term.

§ In the next decade, digital printing will be developed to the thirdaccepted printing technology.

§ It will reach a considerable level, but will not become disruptive.

Inkjet printing – What are we actually doing:

W&H is teaming up with:§ leading print head manufacturers to supervise inkjet development.

§ hardware and software companies to develop a concept for astable and reliable print quality.

§ ink manufacturer to optimize print quality based on machine,substrate and ink.

W&H stands for long term flexible packaging solutions!

Target cost calculations depend on…§ run length§ printing technology§ number of repeat orders§ ink costs§ …

§ internal production workflow§ downtimes§ …

§ consumables costs§ substrates§ utilization rate§ ….

Digital printing – we are prepared for yourindividual break-even calculation

Let us meet at drupa 2020 to verify our results
