has anyone had the chance to try the new heidelberg LED Image control? can you please provide your feedback on this system? how long you've been using it?

I don't even think that's out in the states yet. Only Europe has those right know. I could be wrong though, that's what our rep told us.

We might check it out once they get one in the demo room.

I just tested LED Image Control last week. Huge difference on hardware side and very impressive. Looks very reliable and problem free. User interface is very similar to press center. Even it has a revolution on hardware side, software side still needs improvements. PPF file from Heidelberg workflow is a key to work. Without PPF many functions from previous version is not available like multicolor areas and copy image areas. By the way if there is PPF file available IC finds all measuring elements, homogenous areas and copy image areas automaticly and asks for your confirmation for follow up. Ofcourse I just saw current version software. They told new version software will be released and hopefully I will be able to test middle of March. When R&D finishs all necessery steps with software, device will be amazing.

so you tested a demo unit at heidelberg?

so you tested a demo unit at heidelberg?

Yes.
And as far as I know there are few Image Control on customer side and working for feedback. One is in Japan the other is in England.

[mazengh]

do you have any feedback from the customers who are working on the demo units?

Many futures are missing in current version software and it is early to wait for feedback. At the moment Image Control is still under test. Together with new version software, Image Control will be released and expected time is April 2011. In my opinion who has PPF file from Heidelberg workflow will love new generation Image Control. It is still usefull for customers who works without Heidelberg PPF file but they will have to wait for next software upgrades to use some futures.

Could you please comment on what LED Image Control does. When I have done a search on it I have only got the printplanet posts. Thanks for any clarification you can give.
