Faster setup and reduced paper waste thanks to improved color control

• Spectrophotometric inline color measurement system maximizes productivity and cuts paper waste by further 10 to 20 percent
• Automated measurement of register and dot gain during press run
• New handheld spectrophotometer with extensive range of functions
• Measurement of metallized materials and transparent substrates

The Prinect Inpress Control spectrophotometric inline color measurement system from Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) has proved a great success all over the world. Already installed on over a thousand Speedmaster presses, the system provides on-the-fly measurement and control of both color and register. Heidelberg has now launched Prinect Inpress Control 2, featuring a faster measuring and control algorithm that substantially cuts makeready times and paper waste during setup. Initial users report further 10 to 20 percent less paper waste and significantly increased productivity.

Prinect Inpress Control 2 can be installed on Speedmaster presses in the XL 75, SX 102, CX 102, XL 106, XL 145, and XL 162 series. The system is ideal for industrial printers of short runs with frequent job changes who want to deliver quick, cost-effective, and high-quality results. Recent Speedmaster presses already equipped with Prinect Inpress Control can be upgraded to the latest system.
