Key differentiator against the competition
According to a survey of print buyers conducted by PrintCity and PRINTPlusX* more than 50 percent believed enhanced print increased the value of print by 10-30 percent.
Fifty-three percent of respondents also stated that they would expect a higher value consumer product to be associated with marketing collateral or packaging that had been foiled or coated.
ROLAND InlineColorPilot
Automatically detects and corrects inline even the slightest colour variation, saving makeready time and ensuring constant high printing quality over the entire run.
ROLAND InlineInspector
The sheet inspection system detects even the very smallest flaws and impurities on the sheet. Together with the ROLAND InlineSorter for spoil-free delivery piles.
Zero fault production
As printing speeds increase, the challenge of keeping printing quality sheet by sheet at a constantly high level increases as well. The InlineInspector detects even the smallest hickeys, splashes, scratches, creases, streaks, scumming, or smearing just as reliably as it detects color deviations or substrate defects. Rejected sheets are marked and with the InlineSorter automatically removed.
QualityMask
A masking function already defined in prepress enables the inspection of specifically selected areas with different levels of sensitivity. Especially with packaging or folding cartons, certain non-relevant areas of the sheet can be excluded from defect detection.
PDF comparison
This system compares the printed image with the customer’s specification contained in a PDF file. The function is very simple: after the PDF with the customer’s specification is loaded into the operating console, the reference sheet (OK sheet) is compared to the PDF. Variations between the PDF and reference sheet are displayed for the printer to decide whether to make changes or not. In the following production run, all sheets are compared with the reference sheet. PDF comparison thus provides an objective and easy to understand quality control from production start-up onwards.
