Arrow Systems, Inc.
15” Tabletop Slitter
Arrow Systems, Inc. is releasing a tabletop
slitting unit that will feature a 15”
web width. Th e Arrow Slitter 1500 will
allow users to slit media up to 15” using
7 slitting blades. Th e slitter will also feature
matrix removal and dual rewinders
making it an all-in-one unit for label converters
and sign shops alike. Th e Arrow
Slitter 1500 supports all media types,
including most Edge Ready materials,
which makes it ideal for customers using
Gerber Edge systems to print. It can also
be used in conjunction with die-cutters
to allow for an easier transition to fi nished
labels. “We found that the industry
was lacking a slitter for wider media
that is both compact and effi cient,” said
Shaan Patel of Arrow Systems, Inc. “We
believe that the Arrow Slitter 1500 fi lls that void. Th e 15” web width allows it to be used
with almost any digital printer and fi nisher, and should help make printers’ lives much
easier and free up some capacity on their fi nishers.”

Color management expert GMG is making its proof control
soft ware for digital printing future-proof with version 2.4.

industry demands with the support of the digital standard
Fogra PSD (process standard for digital production):
process stability and quality assurance are playing an increasingly
important role in digital printing.”
GMG ProofControl can be used to import and verify
control strips for print standards. If the proof corresponds
to the target values, then a label is printed out as a seal of
approval and is attached to the proof. Th is is how proofs
can be objectively measured and serve as a legally binding
basis for an order.
