SpectroPad
SpectroPad
SpectroPad is a revolutionary color measuring and process control device. This portable, professional spectrophotometer measures a wide variety of different reflective media used in professional digital printing (including large and wide format). Thanks to its independence from a computer, it can be used also directly on the printer. Its integrated touch display enables interaction with the device and provides instant measurement results.
Digital Output Control
Easy-to-use Process Control for digital Large Format, Flatbed, and Industrial Printing
Barbieri DOC (Digital Output Control) is the solution for process control and image quality evaluation in digital printing. It compares the actual print with a preset reference and gives immediate feedback if color values are within tolerance - without a computer, directly at the large format printer.
Do you know if your printing conditions have changed? Do you know if you are able to reproduce the same colors again? Media, ink, temperature, humidity, workflow, printer interventions; there are many factors which influence the color appearance in digital large format printing.
For this very reason, BARBIERI introduces Barbieri DOC (Digital Output Control). This process control solution checks the stability of the digital printing process and is tailored to the needs of large format, flatbed and industrial printing. It is easy to use and straightforward thinking: the actual state of a printer/media combination is set as a reference and all following prints are compared to this. For the wide range of media used in digital large format printing, Barbieri provides presets and templates tailored to each special media characteristic. The comparison of the actual state to the reference reveals whether the printing process is stable. This enables the printer operator to decide on the spot if printing should continue or if an adjustment to the printing process is required.
The DOC process control solution by Barbieri consists of the innovative SpectroPad and built-in DOC software. Using SpectroPad DOC, the stability of the printing process can be instantly verified and can determine if an actual print is within specifications directly at the printer. Being wireless (battery operated and data transmission by WiFi) the control strip is measured directly on the printer, the measuring device calculates the DOC report internally and instantly displays results on the touch screen. If required, the data can be sent wirelessly to a computer to print and store report data.
In addition to process control, Barbieri provides tools to evaluate image quality in digital printing. For instance, the homogeneity of a print can be evaluated according to the Fogra M-Score.
Barbieri DOC also supports calculations according to Fogra PSD and IDEAlliance.
Image Quality.
In addition to process control, Barbieri provides tools to evaluate image quality in digital printing. For instance, the homogeneity of a print can be evaluated according to the Fogra M-Score (more information).
Barbieri DOC is available also for Spectro LFP and Spectro Swing in combination with Barbieri Gateway.
