The Color Control and Web Inspection System with AccuCam™ for Newspaper printers is a closed loop color control system that is designed to work on the ICON™ integrated platform. It uses a proprietary 6-channel spectral sensor and our patented technology to provide CIELAB-based color control. It also provides fast detection of scumming, plate verification, and other inspection capabilities.
