The Color Control System with Instrument Flight, plus L*a*b* and TVI, and featuring technology pioneered by leading international color specialist System Brunner controls not only solid ink density, but three-color gray balance and midtone dot gain.

Features

SpectralCam™ sensor
• SpectralCam’s smart spectrodensitometer technology enables the system to quickly detect and analyze printed micro color bars at full press speeds.
• Real-time display of key print attributes arms your operators with valuable information to assess product quality and press performance.
• Patented adaptive control methodology adjusts the press to maintain accurate control over four-color process and special colors throughout the run.
• Visual and audio alarms alert operators to errors and out-of tolerance conditions, allowing for prompt resolution and minimum impact on production.
• Resides on the ICON™ integrated platform, allowing all your QuadTech press control systems to share a single userfriendly interface eliminating re-entry of data and minimizing equipment setup time.

• SpectralCam measures up to 12 patches in a single image capture and provides accurate ISO/ANSI Status E and Status T density, dot gain, trap and print contrast measurements.
• L*a*b* and ΔE values are also calculated and reported when using SpectralCam with our Data Central Colorimetric Reporting option.
• Gray balance control is easier and more flexible than ever using Balance Navigator. You’ll be able to achieve product approval for your customers in record time.
• Balance Navigator automatically and consistently calculates which inks to increase or decrease to achieve the proper color shift result.

Color Consistency Comparison

• The color of an entire surface, a selected page, or even individual ink key zones can be shifted to a new three-color gray balance set point.
• The three-color contrast/weight can be modified on the fly, while still maintaining three-color gray balance.
• Expand Data Central’s capability with our Colorimetric Reporting option, which offers a variety of reports that include L*a*b* and ΔE information.

Benefits
