Ensure consistent quality
In today’s branding landscape, precise color reproduction holds significant importance. Whether it’s packaging, labels, or commercial print jobs, the ability to quickly recognize and uniquely identify brands and products hinges on accurate color representation—a critical component in brand perception.
For commercial and packaging printing, achieving absolute color consistency, even in short print runs, is imperative. Colors must remain consistent across various media platforms, necessitating color measurement technology that surpasses traditional density and camera-based evaluations.
Heidelberg’s spectral measuring technology meets this demand with exceptional precision. Our unique and patented ink control system ensures reproducible correction of even the slightest color deviations.
Furthermore, our color measurement systems offer unparalleled automation when integrated with our highly efficient presses. This minimizes setup times, allowing for quicker printing and freeing up time for other tasks.
Whether measuring the entire print image or continuously displaying color deviations (ΔE) during production, our color measurement systems boast several unique features that set them apart. Most importantly, they contribute to your success with customers by ensuring consistent, high-quality results.
Prinect Easy Control: Simplifying Control
Prinect Easy Control offers an ideal introduction to spectral measurement technology, boasting simple operation and effortless removal of the measuring device. This ensures the high-precision spectrophotometer’s availability beyond the press environment. It stands out as the most cost-effective system in its category. Job and color data are conveniently stored together, allowing for easy retrieval for reprints at any time.
Integrated into the press control station to save space, Prinect Easy Control enables operators to conduct checks without leaving their workstations, allowing them to focus on print quality continuously. With a measuring speed of up to 135 mm/second (5.91 in/sec.), it ensures uninterrupted productivity, requiring only four seconds to measure an A3 sheet.
Prinect Easy Control: Simplified Spectral Measurement
- Integrated within the press control station
- Horizontal movement of the measuring device powered, vertical adjustment manual
- Sheets secured using gripper magnets and rollers beneath the measuring device
Highlights
- Measuring speed up to 135 mm/second (5.91 in/sec.)
- Job and color information stored together for quicker inking-up on repeat jobs
- Automatic detection of the print control strip saves time and eliminates manual assignment
- Control strip can be freely positioned on the printed sheet (e.g., leading edge, center, trailing edge) for flexibility and material savings
High-performance quality assurance with Prinect Axis Control
Prinect Axis Control® is the advanced color measurement system designed for both packaging and commercial printing. Its setup primarily involves ink assignment, which is only required if there are changes. The system automatically locates and recognizes the print control strip and paper white on the printed sheet, resulting in a measurement time around three minutes faster than comparable systems.
Featuring maintenance-free LED lighting, Prinect Axis Control eliminates the need for costly bulb changes. Additionally, its strong vacuum and automatic tracking of the print control strip significantly reduce measuring errors, minimizing the need for repeat measurements.
Prinect Axis Control
- Operated and displayed through the Prinect Press Center XL 3 touchscreen
- Additional color deviation display available on the Wallscreen XL
- Measuring head equipped with powered horizontal and vertical travel
- Autofocus feature compensates for varying printing substrate thicknesses
- Space-saving micro print control strips can be universally utilized across all formats
- Netprofiler enables colorimetric calibration.
Highlights
- The fastest spectrophotometer in its category, boasting a measuring speed of 200mm/second (7.87 in/sec.)
- Automatic tracking of print control strips, even on sheets in an inclined position
- Maintenance-free LED lighting ensures a prolonged service life and cost savings.
Reliable prints. Prinect Inspection Control 3
In packaging and label printing, ensuring print quality goes beyond ink correctness. Detecting printing errors early is crucial to avoid complaints. Prinect Inspection Control 3 excels in sheet inspection, utilizing two high-resolution color cameras in the press’s coating unit to thoroughly examine each sheet for defects like material imperfections, hickeys, ink splashes, and scumming, thus preventing additional costs. Enhanced by blower air-assisted sheet guidance, it enables comprehensive inspection up to the trailing sheet edge. With full integration into Intellistart 3 and the print shop’s workflow, manual makeready processes are rendered obsolete. Prinect Inspection Control 3 autonomously sets up in the background and initiates a PDF comparison, with all processes transparently displayed in Quality Assist.
Prinect Inspection Control 3:
- Equipped with two high-resolution color cameras for precise inspection
- Features maintenance-free LED lighting
- Utilizes optimized sheet guidance with targeted blast air support to ensure high-quality inspection up to the trailing edge of the sheet
- Provides comprehensive inspection reports
- Includes InsertStar® tape inserter for tabbing defective sheets
- Compatible with Speedmaster XL 75, XL 106, and CX 104 models.
Highlights:
- Automatic job data loading with Operating Assistant for reduced setup times
- Seamless transfer of inspection areas and test tolerances from prepress to Prinect workflow
- Automatic verification of printed sheets against PDF files from Prinect prepress
