What does a Sheet-Fed Press owner need?

  • Saving of hours per day in set-up time.

  • Automatically setting the press in standard color densities, and receiving feedback densities information without stopping the press, reduces job set-up time from about 30 minutes to less than 5 minutes.

  • Colors are automatically kept stable during run with no need for operator's intervention (unless he decides to overrule the automatic system)

  • Much less waste.

  • Automatic color registration with no printed registration marks

  • Any sheet (or any part of it) can be viewed on a monitor for operator's assessment of Image quality (and/or for bad printouts sorting). This enables the operator to see at a glance the appearance of the print when looking for defects and decide on the proper correction actions (change plate, clean blanket, etc.). This is especially important if no automatic inspection system is installed in the press.

  • Real time visual feedback also facilitates an easy setup of the press (for example: water/ink balance).

  • Getting historical and trends reports that enable better selection of paper batches, determine press situation, improve production time, upgrade customers' communication, etc.
