Lake Image Systems has launched its Print Quality Inspector for high speed print quality verification on continuous printers.

Lake Image Systems has launched its Print Quality Inspector for high speed print quality verification on continuous printers.

The Print Quality Inspector monitors the continuity of continuously printed documents on inkjet, LED and laser-based printing equipment.

If Print Quality Inspector detects an error condition, it can raise an alarm to warn the operator, stop the printer and log all error conditions in the system's reporting package, said the company.

Offered for security printing applications, such as cheque, banknote, ticket and financial document printing, the Print Quality Inspector can be retrofitted to virtually any continuous printing device, added the company.

Pat Hoskins, vice president of sales and marketing at Lake Image Systems, said: "Deteriorating print quality prohibits documents with bar-codes and MICR from being useable for their intended market purpose.

It also creates significant production delays for document processors by halting downstream processing equipment, such as inserters if the bar-codes and OCR codes are not of sufficient quality." He added: "The Print Quality Inspector reduces the waste, rework and potential liability of identifying downstream printing issues." According to LIS managing director, Martin Keats: "Keeping with our expansion in to printing, packaging and pharmaceutical markets, The Print Quality Inspector is a natural ancillary system to our data integrity systems.

Our clients can now implement enterprise wide verification solutions, from a single vendor, which have a harmonised user interface and software structure.".
