Lake Image Systems Ltd., a leader in variable data integrity and print quality inspection for the packaging, labels, and commercial print industries, is pleased to announce that its Discovery MaxScan product has been shortlisted in the Innovation category, for the prestigious Label Industry Global Awards. Organized by Labelexpo and sponsored by Flint Group Narrow Web, the Innovation Award is to recognise ground-breaking new innovations that will have a significant impact within the industry.
Discovery MaxScan is a revolutionary new compact scanning technology. Its unique design gives true 600DPI inspection resolution in full colour, at web and sheet widths in excess of 900mm, whilst maintaining an ultra-low mechanical profile. It easily integrates within the transport system of digital printers, label presses and finishing equipment where the integration of a traditional inspection system can be restricted or even impossible due to the working distances necessary.
Operating with Discovery MultiScan 3 (our enhanced inspection platform), MaxScan can detect very small print defects immediately after the print heads, rather than at the end of the press. Furthermore, degradations in print quality can be analysed in real-time, and inspection data can be fed directly to the printer controller, enabling it to either make real-time print registration or colour adjustments, or start a recalibration/cleaning process, increasing overall print quality. Multiscan 3's comprehensive measurement, inspection, variable data integrity and enhanced print viewing capabilities, make this the highest performance inspection solution on the market today.
"We are very pleased that Discovery MaxScan is being recognized for its unique and innovative technical capabilities, and that inspection within the digital print environment is finally being considered as a critical element in the production process," commented Martin Keats, Managing Director at Lake Image Systems. "The nomination reflects an industry vote of confidence in the Discovery Maxscan product, and in its ability to effectively address today's complex data integrity and print quality requirements. The MaxScan product is a perfect combination of leading edge scanning technology and robust, finely tuned software that again embodies our long, 21 year history of introducing innovative solutions to support the print, label and packaging industry."
Lake Image Systems will be exhibiting the MaxScan product at the Labelexpo Europe 15 show (Stand #9B22) held on September 29 – October 2, 2015 in Brussels. The names of the winners will be disclosed during the Label Industry Global Awards 2015 ceremony, which takes place at the Brussels Expo on Tuesday 29th September.
