New online service calibrates inkjet presses in minutes

·        Unveiled at Hunkeler Innovationdays, the www.printflat.com portal enables presses to be calibrated with a simple upload

·        Powered by PrintFlat™ technology that smooths out printhead non-uniformity or banding

PrintFlat™, the ground-breaking screening software that mitigates banding in inkjet output, will be unveiled as an online service for press vendors and their customers at Hunkeler Innovationdays.

Developed by Global Graphics Software, www.printflat.com uses PrintFlat technology to generate a customized calibration that will mitigate the banding that occurs when a print bar is first built and also as inkjet heads begin to wear or are replaced. Users of the service simply upload a scan of the print bar to the web site via their user account, and PrintFlat works behind the scenes to generate a correction that can be applied directly to the press by the ScreenPro™ screening engine.

Visitors to the Hunkeler Innovationdays will be able to see a demo of www.printflat.com in operation.

Martin Bailey, the chief technology officer at Global Graphics Software, says, “PrintFlat.com introduces a step-by-step process for calibrating an inkjet press. It can work with any press that has the ScreenPro engine installed. That means that any press vendor and their customers can benefit because ScreenPro can be applied to any print industry workflow, either to a press that is already on the market, or one that’s still on the drawing board. It can be used with any RIP software and any combination of inks, substrates, printheads and electronics.

“So just as you would apply color management to your press, now vendors and their customers have a process for applying calibration that mitigates or reduces non-uniformity across the web, which can be difficult and expensive to correct mechanically.”

Ellerhold AG, the market leader in Germany for indoor and outdoor advertising with an approximate 70% share of the German billboard market, is using ScreenPro™ with PrintFlat™.

“When the quality was ‘not passable’ for difficult jobs, for example images with lots of blue sky,” comments Maximilian Ellerhold, CEO, Ellerhold AG, “it is now very acceptable, even for the most difficult jobs. Any residual visible banding has been removed. We’re now achieving 100% customer satisfaction and have increased our market share of outdoor advertising products in digital printing.”

ScreenPro™ is an ultra-high-speed screening engine tuned to smooth out imperfections in inkjet output and, in addition to reducing banding, addresses chaining and mottling by applying Advanced Inkjet Screens™. ScreenPro is the recipient of several industry accolades such as the InterTech™ Technology Award in 2018, an Angel Award by Image Reports magazine, and featured in the top ten technologies of 2018 by Sean Smyth writing in Digital Labels and Packaging Magazine.

Global Graphics has a long history in screening innovation dating back to its patented FM or stochastic screening technology of the 1990s. In the age of digital printing, and inkjet in particular, Global Graphics has developed new screening technologies from the ground up in response to press manufacturers’ concerns about image quality in single pass inkjet applications.

Neuer Online-Service kalibriert Tintenstrahldruckmaschinen innerhalb von Minuten

·        Das Portal www.printflat.com feierte seine Premiere auf den Hunkeler Innovationdays. Es ermöglicht die Kalibrierung von Druckmaschinen mit einem einfachen Upload.

·        Es ist ausgestattet mit der Technologie von PrintFlat™, die Ungleichförmigkeit oder Streifenbildung von Druckköpfen beseitigt.

PrintFlat™, die bahnbrechende Screening-Software zur Reduzierung von Streifenbildung beim Druckergebnis von Tintenstrahldruckern, wird auf den Hunkeler Innovationdays als Online-Service für Händler von Druckmaschinen und deren Kunden vorgestellt.

Die von der Global Graphics Software entwickelte Website www.printflat.com verwendet die PrintFlat-Technologie, um eine auf den Benutzer abgestimmte Kalibrierung anzubieten, die die Streifenbildung reduziert, die beim ersten Aufbau einer Druckleiste auftritt, sowie wenn sich Druckköpfe abnutzen oder ersetzt werden. Benutzer des Services laden einfach einen Scan der Druckleiste über ihr Benutzerkonto auf die Website hoch. PrintFlat arbeitet dann im Hintergrund, um eine Korrektur zu erstellen, die direkt von der Screening-Engine ScreenPro™ auf die Druckmaschine angewendet werden kann.

Besucher der Hunkeler Innovationdays können sich eine Demo von www.printflat.com in Betrieb ansehen.

Martin Bailey, Technischer Direktor bei Global Graphics Software, erklärt: „PrintFlat.com führt einen Schritt-für-Schritt-Prozess zur Kalibrierung einer Tintenstrahl-Druckmaschine ein. Es kann mit jeder Druckmaschine verwendet werden, die die ScreenPro-Engine verwendet.  Das bedeutet, dass alle Händler von Druckmaschinen und deren Kunden davon profitieren können, da ScreenPro auf alle Arbeitsabläufe in der Druckindustrie angewendet werden kann – entweder bei einer Druckmaschine, die bereits auf dem Markt ist, oder bei einer Druckmaschine, die sich noch in der Entwicklungsphase befindet. Die Anwendung funktioniert mit jeder RIP-Software sowie mit jeder Kombination aus Tinten, Substraten, Druckköpfen und Elektronik.“

„So wie Sie das Farbmanagement auf Ihre Druckmaschine anwenden würden, haben Händler und ihre Kunden nun einen Prozess zur Anwendung der Kalibrierung, der die Ungleichförmigkeit auf dem gesamten Substrat reduziert, was auf mechanische Weise schwierig und teuer zu korrigieren ist.“

Die Ellerhold AG – mit einem Anteil von ca. 70 % am deutschen Markt für Werbetafeln der Marktführer für Innen- und Außenwerbung in Deutschland – verwendet bereits ScreenPro™ mit PrintFlat™.

„Wenn die Qualität bei schwierigen Aufträgen, z. B. bei Bildern mit viel blauem Himmel, früher nicht angemessen war, ist sie jetzt auch bei den schwierigsten Aufträgen sehr akzeptabel“, so der Vorstandsvorsitzende der Ellerhold AG, Maximilian Ellerhold. „Alle noch sichtbaren Streifen wurden entfernt. Wir erreichen nun eine hundertprozentige Kundenzufriedenheit und haben unseren Marktanteil an Werbeprodukten für den Außenbereich im Digitaldruck erhöht.“

Screen Pro™ ist eine ultraschnelle Screening-Engine, die nicht nur dafür entwickelt wurde, Mängel beim Tintenstrahldruck zu beheben, sondern auch Streifenbildung, Adressenverkettung und Wolkigkeit reduziert, indem Advanced Inkjet Screens angewendet wird. ScreenPro erhielt mehrere Auszeichnungen der Branche (darunter den InterTech Technology Award 2018 und einen Angel Award vom „Image Reports“-Magazin) und wurde von Sean Smyth im „Digital Labels and Packaging“-Magazin als eine der zehn besten Technologien des Jahres 2018 vorgestellt.

Global Graphics blickt auf eine lange Geschichte von Screening-Innovationen zurück, die in den 1990er Jahren mit der patentierten FM- bzw. stochastischen Rasterungstechnologie begann. Im Zeitalter von Digital- und Tintenstrahldruck hat Global Graphics von Grund auf neue Screening-Technologien entwickelt, mit denen Druckmaschinenhersteller die Bildqualität bei Anwendungen mit Single-Pass-Inkjet-Druckmaschinen verbessern können.
