Henrietta, NY; September 2009— Lake Image Systems IntegraVision PQ received a Must See ems! award at PRINT 09 in Chicago .  Commenting on the award, Lake Image Systems vice-president Pat Hoskins said: “We are deeply gratified that the editors and consultants evaluating product introductions at the show singled out our IntegraVision PQ as important for show visitors to see.  In part as a result of the award, interest in Lake Image Systems products exceeded our highest expectations.”
 
A new, more capable print quality inspection system, IntegraVision PQ provides ‘golden template’ matching of all pages printed on a web, comparing each page to how an ideal image should appear.  Commercial printers and label manufacturers using Lake Image Systems IntegraVision PQ are provided with the consistent repeatability so essential in pharmaceutical, medical, and food packaging printing.  The system uses high-resolution linescan camera technology to image 100 percent of the print produced, at speeds as great as 1000 feet per minute, thus ensuring acceptable print quality throughout the run.  Errors which can be detected using IntegraVision PQ include streaks and voids; out-of-position and out-of-alignment images; controlled document verification (as required when manufacturing pharmaceutical leaflets); and proof checking of documents prepared in languages such as Mandarin, Kanji, Hebrew, and Arabic. IntegraVision PQ is capable of identifying defects as small as 0.04mm.
 
Discussing the new product further, Lake Image Systems vice president Pat Hoskins said, “An especially user-friendly operator interface is a key feature of IntegraVision PQ .  Users may define alarms as desired.  A Defect Map feature detects errors on the roll at the unwind stage, and a Teach mode quickly establishes the ‘golden template’ image.  A real time visual display includes instantaneous zooming and freeze frame capability.  Comprehensive reports may be created quickly and easily.”
