Automatic color measurement for better accuracy

The Challenge

Manual color measurement increases the production down time

Manual color measurements make more time to measure each sheet during the continuous production run. It increases the make ready time, wastage and labour hours.

The Solution

Ultra-Fast Automated Press-Side Color Control with Xrite scan devices

Xrite high end scan devices helps to scan a color bar on a typical press sheet in less than 10 seconds. It is the ideal color management solution for high-end, high-speed printing/converting operations. A close-loop system in combination with this scanning devices helps to adjust the ink corrections in a single step, thus to reduce the make ready time and wastage. It helps to get the ROI in not less than in 4 months.

The Benefits
