Television, magazines and the Internet are competing with newspapers for advertising dollars and consumer attention. While most newspapers have the ability to print colour, they are now increasing colour capacity in their printing plants so they can increase advertising profits.
“In order to compete with these other media forms, newspapers must add value to their advertising offering by improving colour quality and consistency,” said Karl Fritchen, president of QuadTech. “For that reason, QuadTech is proud to offer our new Newspaper Color Control System with AccuCam.”
The AccuCam is an image-based colour control system that utilises closed-loop control to produce superior colour and increase reliability, thereby reducing advertiser rebates and enabling newspaper printers to compete for semi-commercial work. The AccuCam uses a proprietary 6-channel spectral sensor with LED lighting that promises reduced maintenance.
Moreover, because newspaper printers are often not permitted to print colour bars or grey bars, the AccuCam eliminates the need for bars by using image-based colour control, granting newspapers prized additional ad space.
Finally, the Newspaper Color Control System with AccuCam is designed to work with the network-based ICON integrated software platform which enables operators to run automated press controls from a single, centralized station. This easy-to-use system is designed to be used by any level of operator, meaning less experienced operators can be just as productive as more skilled, senior operators – increasing the overall efficiency of the plant.
“QuadTech’s credible professionals are dedicated to the success of our customers,” said Fritchen. “Our engineers strive to develop efficient, cost-effective products like the AccuCam that are further backed by our dependable support team.”
