Optimal Printing Solutions

Measures and controls color – non-stop – without the need to pull sheets. This saves on time and waste and improves color stability offering complete documentation of the production run. Using a high-resolution CCD sensor, the InlineColorPilot measures the complete print control strip within three sheets. The RGB flash illumination corresponds with the color of the filters that are used for normal densitometrical measurements.

When Installed, on what is considered to be the world’s fastest large-format press, the InlineColorPilot consistently produces high-quality print. Benefits include reduced makeready times, reliable measurement, less waste sheets, lower energy costs, no ink-water balance disturbance and production run logging.

Depending on the different configurations required, the ColorPilot family includes ColorPilot and ColorPilot Smart versions to meet particular customer needs based on the appliciation. This proven ColorPilot technology from Manroland Sheet provides a unique solution tailored to the customer’s requirements but producing the same high quality end result. Manroland Sheetfed’s PrintServices consultant will provide the best solution for your applciation. Contact your local office for more details.

These days printing companies are under enormous pressure to reduce costs and streamline their operations. They must produce more jobs in less time, while average run lengths are decreasing. According to an IRD study (Institute for Rationalization in the Printing Industry), based on a reference period of four years, printing companies in Germany had to process 25 percent more orders to at least maintain their earning level. Manroland helps its customers to meet this challenge – with IntegrationPilot 2.0.

With the Integration Pilot 2.0, the job preparation and machine scheduling can also be carried out centrally in the office. In addition, the machine can be integrated in the print shop workflow optimized by CIP3 hot folder or the JDF interfaces. As a result errors in the work processes are identified early and thus eliminated

Non-utilised machine time and problems cost money and need to be systematically reduced, but “only what can be measured objectively, can be improved upon. Therefore, machine and operating data acquisition becomes the focus of attention.

How can machine performance be easily, automatically and reliably measured and evaluated by pressing one button? “ IntegrationPilot Plus supplements IntegrationPilot by adding automated and detailed data collection that can be used for analytical purposes. What has been printed and when? Why was there downtime? Which fabrication times go into the costing? IntegrationPilot Plus provides all the answers.
