GRIPdigital Revolutionizes Pressroom Controls Market without High Retraining Costs Market Quality
Pressroom Master Democratizes Advanced Print Controls and Profits-

LaGrange, IL, October 2004 --- During Graph Expo & Converting Expo GRIPdigital – the market leader of innovative measurement is demonstrating precisely how simple one pressman can now read a complete 40” color bar in less than 12 seconds. Using new technology from Germany’s leading printing instrument maker, TECHKON, the RS400 matches Status T (TREF) USA market standards, reading 3.2 inches per second at an accuracy of 1 measurement every 0.005 inches. With GRIPdigital’s ergonomically advanced software, Pressroom Master operators automatically see all controlled numeric measurements graphically of any work within mere seconds.

Consider now your densitometer has the power and intelligence to track all press measurements faster and more accurately. The most important aspect to adopters will be to affordably shorten make-readies followed by the ability to knowledgably improve production quality of CMYK print production. For example one common issue to any press is knowing how all press variables combine and interact to affect unique print characteristic curves. Now any combination of plate, blanket, ink (etc.) is literally seen and tracked. Automatically reporting this helps to improve press customized platesetter curves at the RIP, so that proof to press matching is improved. This also improves print contrast and lowers waste while saving press time. This affordable tool is simple to cost justify in any size press or printing plant operation. Owners will appreciate the fast payback also demonstrated live using individual make-ready times, average # of daily jobs and HOC (Hourly Operating Cost) at the GRIPdigital booth #5414 to demonstrate the simplicity power and accuracy plus you can test for yourself exact ROI.
