Process Control meets Quality Control …

PrintSTAR 100% Print Inspection

Quality Control

No more customer returns

PrintSTAR is a 100% inspection solution that enables quality control and process control all in one package, by providing you with the tools to reduce waste at the point of production. The tools delivered by PrintSTAR are: • • • • • • • • •

User interface that provides immediate feedback. Visual display of the complete printed image. Compare a defect graphically with a “Golden Reference.” Set up a new job in less than 60 seconds. Save settings according to product or customer. Classify all defects and store to a database with position. Archive all defect images to database. Alarm repeating and major defects. Real-time map to provide operator graphical feedback on the process. • Add as many cameras as you need. • MultiView supports extra camera banks for double sided print, coating, varnish or cold seal inspection. • QuickProof for matching your print to your customer`s standard. • ColorWatch to guarantee color consistency on long runs. • PrintTrack to verify repeat to repeat length and multi-process registration. • RewindManager interface to allow the tracking of waste to your finishing department and the automatic removal of that waste. • Reviewer for roll reviews in case of customer claims. • Inspection of substrates or non printed surfaces using the same system.

What are PrintSTAR´s benefits? • • • • • • •

No more customer returns. Reduce waste dramatically. Improve quality. Increase throughput, optimize your process. Print to a standard. Verify against your customer's contract design. Add 100% proofed and inspected to your USPs.

Easy to Use

Operators get instant feedback

Whether Rotogravure, Flexography or Offset — PrintSTAR runs special algorithms and can detect defects particular to all processes. Blanket issues in offset are quickly identified and for rotogravure we use our ASD chipset to see drags and streaks before the operator could visualize them. We detect the following defects and many more. • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Drying in Missing print Splashing Spackling Contamination Smearing Color variations Streaks Drags Misregister Hazing or fogging Bleeding Scratches Blankets issues in offset

Process Control

Reduce waste and increase throughput MultiView provides that capability to inspect coatings, cold seal, varnish or hot foil. It also allows the extension of the system to double sided inspection. PrintSTAR enables the user to view all live views simultaneously in real-time.

Quality Control

• It enables double sided print inspection. • You can add hot foil stamping inspection. • Varnish presence and register can be verified with respect to the printed image. • Cold seal presence and register can be verified with respect to the printed image.

Benefits

ColorWatch is an online densitometry package that, as an option, can be added to the standard detection system. It enables the operator to set up areas in the reference image to be monitored. For each area, the color is averaged and a comparison is done in the Lab color space. Each area has it´s own trend graph which shows the color deviation in DE (Lab) for all repeats. Alarming levels can also be defined. • Verify that the color does not change over a long run, despite top ups and ink barrel changes. • Verify that the color on the graphic is not being altered by changes to one of the primary colors. • Subtle color defects such as hazing, fogging or smearing can be detected before it becomes visible to the human eye and starts generating waste.

QuickProof Pre Press Verification

No More Defects

PrintTrack enables the tracking of features on a graphic or between graphics added at different processes or sides of the web. Using multiple banks of cameras, PrintTrack can be used for registration monitoring. Alarms can be set on limits. PrintTrack includes the ability to output the measurements between two set points on the same image to provide accurate repeat or stretch data on the image. • It enables print to print registration measurement from different camera views. • It enables repeat to repeat monitoring. • It allows trending and multiple trigger alarms to guarantee package specifications are not being exceeded that would cause problems at your customers packing line.

allows you to verify your printed image against your customer design and contract. It is extremely easy to use. You can introduce the 1 Up that the customer provided you with the package design, or the actual image of the plates or cylinders derived from that 1 Up. QuickProof will read the file, convert it to an acceptable format and then use advanced image processing techniques to verify the “Golden Reference”. It will highlight any differences allowing the user to accept or reject.

automates the removal of waste in the finishing department. By interfacing with a synchronized database, the user can select which defects need to be removed. This enables production to maximize value in a production roll. Slitter or doctor machines can be used at optimum speeds increasing overall efficiency. By automating waste removal, but inspecting and measuring during production, the twin goals of waste reduction and quality control can be guaranteed.

• It means that you can now print to a customer standard. • Cylinder, plate or prepress mistakes are caught immediately. • Operators no longer need to struggle with foreign languages. • Regulatory requirements are adhered to with no fear of catastrophic setup mistakes.

• Optimize waste removal while adhering to splice restrictions virtually, before the roll hits the finishing department. • Remove defects before they reach your customer. • Provide that workflow link between production and finishing. • Increase the output of slitter and doctor machines through automation.
