Sussex, WI – QuadTech, Inc., the worldwide leader and innovator of press control technology, will be unveiling new products for the Packaging and Converting markets at the International Converting Exhibition (ICE), to be held November 24-26 in Munich, Germany. ICE is Europe's leading exhibition for paper, film and foil converting.

"Quite a few companies have cut back on research and development expenses because of the economy," said Karl Fritchen, President of QuadTech. "We've taken the opposite approach. QuadTech has invested more effort into R&D this year than we have in any of our previous 30 years, and we have some exciting innovations that we expect will have a big impact on the Packaging and Converting markets."

Among the new product introductions is the QuadTech Inspection System with SpectralCam, which accurately measures color information in the printed image. SpectralCam delivers L*a*b* data for precise, cost-effective color management.

The QuadTech Offline Inspection System detects such subtle variances as logo defects, missing and filled-in text, incorrect fonts and inaccurate barcodes. Its granular detection capabilities make it an ideal choice for printers who work with pharmaceutical, tobacco, food, medical and other quality-conscious clients.

QuadTech PDF Verification is a software add-on that compares approved artwork against an actual printed sample to verify correct press setup, ensuring accuracy and quality. This allows printers to catch errors before they print.

"Since our acquisition of Vigitek in 2008, we've not only been working to enhance the existing product line," said Fritchen, "we've also had our engineering teams sharing knowledge to develop new product offerings."

For ICE, QuadTech experts will be available at Hall 1, Stand 1-X07 to explain the advantages of the company's entire product line. Some of the highlights include:
