QuadTech, together with their
Turkish agent Inpak, are presenting print quality and waste saving
solutions for packaging converters, as well as local customer successes, on its
stand (Hall 7, Stand 709C) at Eurasia Packaging 2014, 18-21 September, (Tüyap
Fair Convention & Congress Center, Istanbul, Turkey).
"This twentieth staging of
Eurasia Packaging demonstrates the strength and dynamism of the region's
packaging industry," said Stephan Doppelhammer, QuadTech Market Manager
for Packaging. "With growing interest from international brands for
consistent, fast turnaround packaging, quality demands can be high and margins
tight. QuadTech automation can help packaging converters improve profitability
and competitiveness by streamlining production.
"Our theme for the show is
'The Power of Better: People + Technology = Solutions‘. This emphasizes the
importance of local industry knowledge from our Turkish agent Inpak in
combination with QuadTech's automatic, on-the-fly, inspection and color
measurement technology for every packaging application."
Highlighted on the QuadTech stand
will be systems for flexo, gravure, and offset packaging applications. These
include in-line inspection and spectral color measurement and control solutions
for films, foils, papers and laminates that reduce make-ready times, accelerate
throughput, provide quality assurance and ensure customer satisfaction.
The QuadTech Inspection System
inspects 100% of the web 100% of the time, providing total quality assurance.
This system is designed to maintain print quality and deliver defect-free
output and was recently installed by Arimpeks Aluminium Ltd. (Gebze, Turkey).
Chosen for its ability to inspect challenging thin and reflective substrates,
the Inspection System was installed on the company's pharmaceutical gravure
printing lines. Five months later, Arimpeks says it has reduced waste while
increasing print quality, productivity and job turnaround, enabling the company
to deliver customers' products to market faster. More information about Arimpeks'
successes will be available on the QuadTech stand.
ARİMPEKS also utilizes QuadTech
DataCentral for Inspection, a powerful database that stores job, raw material
use, and defect information from all inspection equipped machinery on site.
Benefits of this system include the ability to show customers consistent
results and statistics, as well as the option to control waste removal. For
example, with the QuadTech Waste Management System, defective material can be
pinpointed and automatically found on the roll on converting processes or in
finishing to advance to where removal is needed, saving operator time and
valuable substrates.
Offering an integrated in-line
solution for color control is the QuadTech Color Quality Solution (CQS). The
CQS combines spectral color measurement, ink formulation and dispensing technology.
From customer-defined color targets, through X-Rite's Ink Formulation software,
to ink dosing, on-press adjustments and until the final print‑converters and brand managers are
assured that precise color specifications have been met.
A vital component of the CQS is
QuadTech's Color Measurement System with SpectralCam HD, which collects
in-line, live spectral data and compares it to the customer targets at full
press speeds. Any deviations are captured automatically and sent back to the
Ink Formulation software for the required ink recipe. This allows the operator
to quickly take remedial action, thus reducing waste and press downtime.
Additional options for end-to-end
assurance include the QuadTech Web Viewing System that can be used as a
stand-alone system, or in conjunction with the Inspection System. The Web
Viewing System provides real-time digital viewing of the moving web and has
solutions such as barcode verification to keep print accuracy and the press
running uninterrupted. QuadTech PDF Verification compares the original customer
artwork against a printed copy to verify correct press setup and ensure
ultimate print quality.
