The spectral measurement system Prinect Inpress Control 3, the only one of its kind in the world, finds the print control strips, the paper white, and the register marks fully automatically – and starts ink control without intervention by the printer.

The color deviation ΔE, which is important in packaging printing in particular, is continuously displayed and adjusted on the fly, without pulling the sheets.

When exactly the required coloring is attained, the goodsheet counter starts automatically and the machine begins production. In addition, a tab can be inserted into the paper pile. Prinect Inpress Control 3 in combination with other automation components lays the foundation for Push to Stop, a feature for fully automated job changes without any interruption, from the last to the first good sheet and the start of production. In this way you shorten your setup times in the long term and achieve unbeatable production speeds.

Prinect Inpress Control 3:

  • Complete package for color and register control
  • Operation and display via the Prinect Press Center XL 3 touchscreen
  • Additional color deviation display on the Wallscreen XL
  • Space-saving micro print control strips can be used without restriction across all formats
  • Netprofiler for colorimetric calibration

Highlights:

  • Fully automatic setup
  • Quality Assist: automatic run start on reaching the good sheet
  • Register control as standard
  • Unique ΔE display during production without pulling sheets, for maximum quality runs
