QuadTech is set to exhibit its two new color technologies at Labelexpo Americas 2016, which will be held from 13 to 15 September.
The company will showcase ColorTrack and Color Measurement with DeltaCam technologies at the event, which will take place at the Stephens Convention Center near Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.
ColorTrack is a new color management software solution developed for packaging applications.
Without any hardware modifications to the press, the software solution helps to reduce the number of ink corrections needed to achieve accurate and optimal color.
ColorTrack, which provides accurate color in one or two corrections, is claimed to be the only software solution that offers press-side connection between color measurement and ink management.
The Color Measurement with DeltaCam has been developed for inline spectral measurement.
For around the cost of a color register system, the printers can use accurate and automated measurement on film, paper or board to check whether the printed product is within the customers’ color specifications.
Operators can easily find out problems and corrections with the system, helping to minimize waste, customer complaints, and rebates.
QuadTech president Karl Fritchen said: “The live demonstrations at drupa were virtually ‘standing room only’ events every day. ColorTrack and DeltaCam both generated high interest in Europe, and we are eager to debut these solutions in the Americas.”
QuadTech packaging marketing manager Stephan Doppelhammer said: “QuadTech, in partnership with ColorConsulting, has developed a ‘color expert in a box’ that automates the process of delivering absolute consistency from press-to-press, shift-to-shift, and plant-to-plant.”
