loop. - Inline colour control without marks
loop. is a fully automated ink control system for newspaper presses. Smallest colour deviations are detected and controlled immediately. Thus both waste and ink consumption are reduced and a constantly high colour quality can be ensured. The system is highly adaptive and can be integrated even in existing press systems.

loop. measures the ink…
… during the whole production and over the entire web width.
… without marks, directly in the printed image and without control patches.
… inline, in the press, directly behind the last printing couple.
… by using a spectral CMYK based measuring system.

The system compares the measured values with reference values and automatically controls ink zones.

With the result that loop. …
… saves ink.
… reduces waste.
… increases production efficiency.
… relieves personnel during preparation and print monitoring.
… detects catch up.
… identifies incorrectly positioned plates.
… ensures continuous high print quality.
… reduces complaints.
… completely documents the quality
