Problem Solution

Our solution

Continuous measurement, automatic correction, and certifiable quality on every print run.

The closed-loop systems implemented by GMDE continuously measure color parameters during printing and compare them with target values. The system automatically adjusts press settings to keep print quality within predefined tolerances throughout the entire production run.

Misurazione in linea dei parametri di stampa

Densità di inchiostro, dot gain, bilanciamento cromatico e temperatura di colore vengono misurati automaticamente su ogni foglio o su un campione statisticamente significativo, senza fermare la macchina.

Correzione automatica dei parametri

Quando il sistema rileva uno scostamento dai valori target, interviene direttamente sulle calamaie o sui parametri di macchina per riportare il colore all'interno delle tolleranze senza attendere l'intervento dell'operatore.

Gestione dei profili colore per ogni commessa

Il sistema carica automaticamente i target di colore per ogni lavoro, garantendo coerenza tra diverse tirature dello stesso prodotto anche a distanza di settimane.

Reportistica di qualità per ogni tiratura

Ogni sessione di stampa produce un report con i dati di qualità misurati, utilizzabile per la certificazione della conformità agli standard ISO 12647 e per la documentazione verso il cliente.

The problem we know well

Color quality in printing changes during the run and is often discovered late.

Offset printing is a dynamic process: temperature, ink viscosity, paper absorbency, roller wear change over the course of the run. Without a continuous control system, color quality drifts and by the time the problem is noticed, thousands of copies have already been printed out of specification.

Variazioni di densità e colore nel corso della tiratura, con copie non conformi agli standard ISO o alle specifiche del cliente.

Scarti elevati e rilavorazioni costose quando la deriva cromatica viene scoperta in ritardo.

Dipendenza dall'esperienza visiva dell'operatore per valutazioni che richiederebbero misurazione strumentale sistematica.

Difficoltà a dimostrare la conformità agli standard di qualità al cliente finale con dati oggettivi e tracciabili.

benefits

Consistent color quality from the first copy to the last

The system continuously corrects process variations, ensuring that the final copy matches the quality of the first throughout the entire print run.

Significant reduction in waste caused by color drift

Immediate automatic adjustments prevent the accumulation of out-of-specification copies, correcting issues before they result in large quantities of waste.

Less dependence on operator experience and visual judgment

Color correction decisions are based on objective measurement data rather than subjective visual perception, ensuring consistent quality regardless of shift or operator.

Quality certification supported by objective data

Quality reports generated for each print run provide the documentation needed to demonstrate ISO compliance and meet customer quality requirements.

Reduced startup times

The system helps achieve target color quality more quickly during press startup, reducing waste copies before full production begins.

Integration with prepress workflows and quality management systems

Print production data can be integrated with workflow systems to automatically update color profiles and with quality management systems to monitor performance over time.
