LED Image Control

[Ozkan Hangisi]

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.

Heidelberg - Prinect Image Control

Hello Erik,
Link doesn't give details enough. Simply IC can control 4 different presses. It scans whole sheet not only color bar and uses every pixel for color control. It is able read minispots and export measured datas for curves correction. It can also read icc tests charts in 30 seconds (20 seconds with next generation) and export measured datas for profile creation. It can create working report; how many sheet pulled and scanned, what were the values, time, counter etc... it can also create a detailed qulity report from mini spots which compares lab values, dot gains acording to current standart.

Hope all these help for clarification. If you have a chance, visit a printing house which is working with IC.

Thanks for the clarification. I have heard of the Prinect Image Control but the LED Image Control title was confusing.

I doubt Image Control would be applied to the Anicolor press but I could be wrong.

Anyhow, thanks again.

hello Erik,

Image Control NG will not apply to Anicolor. Anicolor has no ink zones.
The new Image Control has LED instead of xenon lamp, which will be much more reliable.
The new gen IC comes with the 19" touchscreen and has File card register for skipping unnecessary steps. CIP4-PPF based make ready for automatic detection of solid measuring patches.

I kind of knew that the IC was not suitable. Not just because there are no keys but because the Anicolor should be much more predictable in printing the image than the conventional press.

Thanks for the clarification on the LED reference. Sounds like a good idea.
