Heidelberg has chosen the slogan ‘The Power of Colour’ to mark the start of its new financial year as it introduces extensive additions for its colour measurement and control systems and for the Prinect colour workflow.
The move is a response to the growing demands for efficient and dependable quality control in commercial, packaging, and label printing. In Prinect Easy Control, Prinect Axis Control, Prinect Image Control, and Prinect Inpress Control, Heidelberg offers the market four spectral measurement systems for print shops of all sizes and sheetfed offset presses of all performance classes.
End-to-end spectral measurement, patented colour control, and a further enhanced Prinect colour workflow facilitate rapid, low-waste job changes as well as quality monitoring and logging for production runs on all Speedmaster presses.
Colour-control based on measured spectral values is the most promising method for achieving the desired colours as quickly as possible in commercial, label, and packaging printing. That is precisely why Heidelberg has continuously developed spectral colour measurement technology.
Jürgen Mittmann, Senior Manager Product Management Sheetfed at Heidelberg said, “The consistent development of the entire Heidelberg spectral color measurement portfolio gives commercial and packaging print shops of all sizes the opportunity to optimise their color workflow, moving it closer to the smart print shop model – even as far as autonomous printing.”
