Why ?
High speed scanners for digital printed decor

Inspection for Digital Décor PrintingConsiderations regarding single-pass printing on wide web
Array of print heads
For printing a wide web, >1.000mm, with high resolution, a very big number of printing nozzles and overlapping printing heads are needed.
All those printing heads must have a perfect precision regarding time, geometrical position and colour.
Nozzle outs or print head banding or colour drift or substrate variation are normal in high resolution and high speed printing on wide web.

Inspection for Digital Décor Printing
To safeguard stable and high quality production:
A combination of a high performance printing systems and of sophisticated scanners for process monitoring is a must.

What
The specification of our scanner
Baumer Inspection GmbhINPRINT 2015
Seite: 14
Inspection for Digital Décor PrintingSpecs of a scanner for process control in single-pass printing
1. Detection of printing problems during print job: Detection of all nozzle failures like missing nozzles, blocked nozzles,
flashes, etc. Detection of problems in synchronization. Detection of blocked printing heads. Detection of smearing, drops, spots, streaks, etc.
2. Monitoring Colour consistency: Colour consistency for all printing heads all over the width of web. Stability of colour all along the printing job.

Inspection for Digital Décor PrintingThe specifications for our scanner for single-pass printing
Priority one should be single pass printing.
On paper, foil, textile, particle board, glass or PVC.
Strictly modular design to be adapted on all width of web.
High speed inspection for print line running with up to 250 m/min.
Resolution good for 720dpi.

Inspection for Digital Décor PrintingBaumer‘s philosophy in colour inspection for process monitoring
overall colour appearance
1. Same visual colour appearance for all printing modules.
2. Identification of colour drifts, crosswise and lengthwise.

The visual appearancePatented ColourBrain® technology
Multi-coloured texture is represented in mathematical model Colour Appearance is derived from the statistical analysis of the data Colour shifts are the result of complex changes of the data
