Inline measurement and control system for offset printing.
The use of LithoFlash Inline systems can sustainably improve the productivity of printers’ existing or new printing machines. Provin Technos has introduced LithoFlash Inline from German company Lithec GmbH for the Indian customers.
With a small investment volume, the system achieves significant savings in a short time. Reduced setting time increases job throughput and high waste savings directly lower substrate costs. Moreover, the use of a measurement and control system additionally ensures production quality. Key features include:
- For sheet-fed and web offset printing machines with a production width of 52-205 cm
- Measurement and control of the densities of process inks and special colours
- Monitoring of tone value increase, print contrast and trapping parameters
It’s a compact system for new and used printing machines. Equipped with LithoDyn dynamic control, it brings high savings and also facilitates minimal energy enabled by flashing LED.
