APR and Techkon USA will be
showcasing SpectroEdge, the leading-edge color measurement technology for flexo
presses, at an industry event sponsored by the Flexographic Technical
Association (FTA), followed by the Annual Meeting of the Tag and Label
Manufacturer Institute (TLMI).
Techkon SpectroEdge is an inline
spectrophotometer that helps press operators measure and maintain accurate
color at standard production speeds. SpectroEdge mounts directly on a press,
measures the color bars instantly, and interprets color values that are sent to
a host computer using Techkon’s ChromQA software. This innovative technology
captures real-time spectral data with presses running up to 1000ft/minute
(300m/minute) and reports “on-the-fly” color variations as they occur,
eliminating costly waste.
SpectroEdge
allows flexo press operators to:
·
Create more press uptime with faster
make-ready
·
Reduce ink and paper waste significantly
·
Catch unacceptable color variations as
they occur-not after the job is printed
·
Minimize or eliminate customer
rejections of press runs
· Detect out of tolerance conditions as
they occur and minimize costly reprints
· Generate comprehensive color quality
verification reports
Flexographic
professionals can view and demo the SpectroEdge and ChromQA software at the
following events:
·
FTA Fall Conference, “Efficiency in Flexography:
Connecting the Dots” on October 15-17 in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin.
·
