NELA Exhibits at Drupa 2008

Integrated into the VCPevolution Flexx, NELA shows the fully automatic quality measuring system PQM+. An imaged multi-field wedge (developed in co-operation with UGRA) is used to measure the imaging and developing quality for each individual printing plate. Deviations in the image quality which may lead to low-quality printing results are detected and analyzed at an early stage in the production process. Plates with inadequate image quality are automatically ejected from the system after the punch/bender. The following data are measured, recorded according to ISO 12647-3, and shown on the computer screen: CtP-curve, laser energy, focus, fogging, and deviations between target and actual values.
