Label
changeovers interrupt production longer than any other process
variation. Despite automation in other areas of the printing
operation, set-ups are still a highly manual process.
They're labor-intensive, time-consuming and costly. That's
about to change. Intelligent Sensing has just released a
patented new technology that automates the process of gauging
accurate, precise roller pressure - both at set-up and throughout
the print run. This new pressure-sensing technology takes
the guesswork out of printer settings, vastly reducing the time
- and costs - associated with label changeovers. PrintFicient
from Intelligent Sensing is designed to: 
Decrease costs from label changeover downtime
and
associated scrap 
Improve printer control for greater quality and
consistency
throughout the run 
Develop statistical trends, per label, for ongoing
efficiency
improvements 
Increase plant and operator productivity

New Technology Provides Critical Automation Where It's Needed Most This
revolutionary technology is a strain gauge-based data acquisition
system that automatically measures the inking roller pressure on
your offset or flexographic printing press. The information
is used by operators to reduce set-up time and ensure consistent
roller pressure throughout the production cycle. Printficient
monitors temperatures, relative humidity, bearing wear and other
factors that can affect print consistency, and automatically
alters roller pressure to accommodate these variables. Printficient's
exclusive tracking software records and stores data regarding all
pertinent printer specifications throughout the entire run,
developing a statistical trend for each job. Once stored,
this information is accessed each time a particular label is run
to automatically program the printer to optimal specifications. The
result: Shorter set-up, decreased downtime, reduced
costs and higher print consistency. intro top
