What does it look like when a HelioChromeNEO test is a success? We got to do this again, this time at the Bobst Innovation Center in San Giorgio, Italy. 🎉 Now for the big reveal! The product: HelioChromeNEO The printing machine: A BOBST MASTER RS 6003, extended color gamut 7C gravure printing setup. We couldn't have done it without the amazing folks at BOBST, ICR S.p.A. Incisioni cilindri rotocalco, and Daetwyler SwissTec Check out the video below to get a sneak peek of the test. 👇 We'll be sharing all the results, samples, and more at the Acimga (Confindustria) Roto4All event in Milan on Tuesday, November 5th. You can find us in the exhibition area. We are looking forward to seeing you there! #Innovation #GravurePrinting #HelioChromeNEO #Teamwork #AcimgaRoto4All

Q-trac has arrived at Tecnogravura As announced 2 weeks ago, the next Q-trac has left K.Walter direction south and is meanwhile installed at Tecnogravura in Portugal. The setup with Q-trac and the various CYON modules convinced Tecnogravura that this is the right way to save costs in rotogravure production by reducing defects, increasing efficiency and quality. The new products do match with the modern approach from Tecnogravura, focused on modernization and digitalization in their cylinder production. Thanks to Tecnogravura and K.Walter - Plating and Processes wishes good success. 👍

Next Q-trac on the way to the customer As of today, the next Q-trac system is on its way to the new owner. The direction is south and we will keep you posted where the machine will finally be installed. Q-trac, the new intelligent quality inspection system for rotogravure cylinder production. #Qtrac #CYON

See the user feedback on ChromeNEO ! Let us add some additional facts and information: • Performance - 3 machines already in daily production - meanwhile approx. 3´500 gravure cylinders chrome plated and printed - equivalent performance in terms of plating speed, hardness as well as abrasion resistance in printing process • Health & safety - Chrome trioxide - free as well as PFAS - free - not toxic and without any carcinogenic and mutagenic substances • Costs - no higher operational costs compared to Chrome VI process - no regulary costs (ECHA / workers monitoring) Chrome NEO – the future of chrome plating is the proven technology for rotogravure cylinder production and does solve regulatory threads but as well as health & safety risks for the companies and its employees. #ChromeNEO
ChromeNEO surpassed our expectations…again. A few weeks ago, I shared that we had printed our first production cylinder at Gundlach Packaging Group, and things went smoothly. At the end of that post, I was confident, letting you know we were about to start the next job—a complete set of cylinders printed with ChromeNEO. Well, here’s the good news: it was successful! And let me explain further. While the printing results were spot on, there were a few learnings along the way. These small things didn’t impact the final print, which turned out great. However, they did teach us some lessons about what we could improve. Our strong feedback loop with our partners has once again proven its worth, as we continue to learn and improve. Together, we’re constantly figuring out how to optimize and improve this new Chrome technology. I’m confident that this method will soon surpass the old conventional chrome plating, which, as you may know, will need to disappear over the next few years. #ChromeNEO

Yesterday, a sporty team from K.Walter took part in the B2Run Munich company run. With over 30,000 participants, this is considered the largest company run in Germany. Well prepared, our 8 runners mastered the route and crossed the finish line in the Olympic Stadium. Congratulations to our FINISHERS!

K.Walter on tour: Our company outing has been a tradition for many years, so the K.Walter team set out again yesterday to spend a day together as a nice break from the daily work routine. After a short bus ride, we started the day with a visit to our long-standing customer, #Schattdecor. The company's presentation was interesting for everyone. We then climbed the Kampenwand by gondola, where we enjoyed a great lunch alongside the beautiful mountain panorama. We ended the afternoon with coffee at the Dinzler roastery. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Schattdecor for their perfect hospitality and warm welcome. Your support and partnership are greatly appreciated.

A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to learn about our new developments, #HelioChromeNEO #Qtrac #CYON, share insights, and explore new opportunities with us. Your enthusiasm and engagement drive us to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the rotogravure cylinder-making industry. Our Bavarian evening was a great networking event for our industry. We could connect and exchange new ideas. With 500 liters of beer and 600 pretzels, we all set a new benchmark for the next Drupa 2028. #drupa2024 #HelioChromeNEO #Qtrac #CYON #rotogravure #gravureprinting
