The collaboration will see AVT’s PrintVision/Apollo used with the HP Indigo 20000, designed primarily for flexible package printing. The new press can also be used to print a variety of label types, and will be shown at Labelexpo Europe 2013 to highlight the versatility of the model.
The integrated AVT inspection technology will also be demonstrated at Labelexpo Europe 2013.
The integration of AVT’s automated workflow solution enables complete quality and process control over the wide variety of packaging application and substrates that the press is capable of printing and handling.
The PrintVision/Apollo provides 100 percent in-line job quality validation, comparing a fixed image, variable data, print color and many other features to the job PDF/database, as well as to the desired quality reference.
In parallel, the system automatically records all quality information for process improvements, quality assurance and downstream automatic defective material removal.
AVT, in further collaboration with and also Esko, has developed ZeroSet, an automation system for short runs and the digital print process.
ZeroSet automates inspection, enabling converters to achieve the highest quality inspection of printing jobs without any need for inspection setup or press stop.
ZeroSet will be available for both HP Indigo 20000 customers and HP Indigo WS6600 customers.
Gal Shamri, vice-president of corporate business development at AVT, said: ‘We are delighted to launch our integrated PrintVision/Apollo 100 percent automatic inspection solution to the HP Indigo 20000.
