Improving print quality

Since the printing press was first invented back in the 15th century, the industry has been continually evolving and innovating. Constantly looking for new ways to improve quality, reduce costs and create high quality printed products for a huge variety of customers. One development helping the print industry is Inpress Control, an incredibly useful and practical technology.

Inpress Control

Swallowtail Print uses Inpress Control with our Heidelberg litho printing presses, this allows us to automatically measure and control colour at any speed.

Being integrated directly into the printing process it can measure process colours, spot colours and registration. If any corrections are required to the print run, the information is forwarded directly to the control centre and the printer adjusts itself automatically.

Speeding up production

One of the major benefits of Inpress Control is that it allows us to significantly speed up production, which means that the printing press no longer has to be stopped for sheet pulls and measurements. What’s more, both inking up and registration are also faster and waste is reduced.

By reducing the make ready time – the time that it takes us to set up and monitor the press during production – we can produce high quality printed products even more efficiently.

Maintaining quality

By continually monitoring production throughout the printing process, our high standards of quality control are constantly maintained ensuring outstanding results.

The fully automated colour control system ensures maximum stability over the entire print run, providing a high level of consistency from start to finish.

Reducing costs

Another big benefit of using Inpress Control is that it allows us to reduce our costs and pass these savings onto our customers. By speeding up the monitoring and quality control work it reduces the amount of time needed for each print run.

Great news for our customers, this innovative piece of technology is making printing faster, better and more affordable.
