Innovations help label and packaging printers eliminate defects, deliver perfect color, and automate their workflows

Waukesha, Wis. – BALDWIN Vision Systems (BVS) will bring new technical achievements to Stand 6E52 at Labelexpo Europe 2019 (24-27 September, Brussels Expo). BVS will be co-located at the show with AMS SpectralUV, another Baldwin Technology Company.

Along with well-established color and inspection solutions for the printing industry, BVS will showcase the latest additions to their product portfolio—including Guardian RTM, a new real-time quality monitoring and reporting tool, and significant new capabilities for the ColorTrack software solution.

According to President Vince Balistrieri, “The name ‘BALDWIN Vision Systems’ may not yet be familiar to label and narrow web printers. But the BVS product portfolio brings together decades of proven experience from established industry leaders in advanced color and inspection technology.”

2018 saw industry leaders QuadTech, PC Industries, and Web Printing Controls strategically united to form the new BALDWIN Vision Systems. The resulting combination of businesses and technologies represents the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio available for print process automation, inspection and related services. By combining worldwide engineering resources, BVS looks to speed the pace of innovation and development of data-connected workflow solutions. Ongoing service and support for BVS technology is also boosted by the integration.

Promising to help printers eliminate defects, deliver perfect color, and automate their workflows, BVS will highlight these solutions at Stand 6E52:

Defect Management Solutions

Guardian PQV 100% Print Inspection eliminates every defect with a more efficient, accurate, data-connected inspection workflow. PQV provides complete print quality verification from prepress through production, reporting, and archiving for perfect runs. With Guardian RTM Real-Time Monitoring, printers can track and compare many different production metrics. Press managers can monitor changes as they happen, and make highly-informed decisions about print quality, defect management, and even operator-to-operator performance. Guardian OLP Offline Proofing & Inspection focuses on pre-press proofing and pressroom quality control. Graphic-Vision® 500 Series Web Viewing Systems quickly find defects such as mis-registrations, streaks, voids, and fills. For high quality, high accuracy inspection requirements—such as pharmaceuticals, security and banknote—BVS provides solutions that meet the most exacting standards, with features including sequential data verification, bar code decoding & grading, custom lighting and more.

At Labelexpo Europe 2091, BVS also intends to offer an early preview a new defect management technology, which the company will launch fully at drupa 2020 in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Color Management Solutions

ColorTrack™ “color expert in a box” software facilitates fast, accurate press-side correction of ink formulations. ColorTrack seamlessly integrates with ink recipe software to not only simplify workflow, but also dramatically reduce the number of ink corrections needed to achieve accurate, optimal color. InkWeigh™ eliminates trial and error by weighing and tracking ink corrections at the press for each client, each job. Optimize and reduce leftover storage, and ensure full traceability. DeltaCam™ provides accurate inline spectral measurements, reducing waste and ensuring all printed products are within your customers’ color specifications.

BVS will introduce its new ColorTrack Analytics software, which is designed to help printers deliver consistent, accurate color quality and customer reports—no matter what facility, process or materials are used to produce the printed product.
