Elsewhere, delegates will get a first glimpse of Impression Technology Europe’s new Eclipse LF3 digital label cutter and slitter, which handles intricate cutting and slitting to a fine specification. Its current pairing with the compact Rapid X1 ensures that this complete label production platform is also space-efficient.
