Ultra-Fast Automated Press-Side Color Control
To remain competitive, printers and packaging converters must focus on reducing make-ready time and waste, and minimizing errors and rework. Managing color by eye and/or depending on ink density measurements will not deliver against these requirements. Introducing IntelliTrax2 into the press-side quality control process, printers and packaging converters can assure optimum color quality, fast make-ready, and reduced waste.
Benefits:
- Reports results on screen instantly so press operators can quickly make adjustments, even before color drift is visible to the human eye.
- Measures process colors, spot colors, PANTONE® colors, paper color, tone value increase, gray balance, and ink density in less than 10 seconds.
- Ensures non-contact with your substrate.
- Supports the majority of global graphic arts standards, including M1 to accommodate optical brighteners, M3 for measuring wet ink and full support for GRACoL, SWOP 2013, PSO, and FOGRA 51 and 52.
- Directly accesses the PantoneLIVE database for accurate spectral target values for corporate and other spot colors and can exchange job data with ColorCert.
