Heidelberg at Drupa 2008: Technology Geared Towards Customer Benefits, Large-format Printing

Prinect Axis Control

At drupa this year, Heidelberg will be unveiling a new version of its spectrophotometric color measuring system: Prinect Axis Control. This new version is fully integrated into the Prinect Press Center press control station - also new - and can be operated using its touchscreen. At 200 millimeters (7.87 inches) per second, the new-generation Prinect Axis Control measures at double the speed of its predecessor. During setup, the system automatically identifies the type of quality control strip and its position on the print sheet. The fact that the strip does not have to be positioned manually results in a time saving of over 50 percent. In addition, the strip can be placed anywhere on the sheet.
