Characteristics of the Theory

Theory <Theory> of quality testing systems for digital printing that cover all quality assurance needs in digital printing
Theory® is an inspection device for digital printers that can inspect the entire surface of variable printed graphics and simultaneously inspect variable data such as serial numbers and bar codes.
You can scan(Theory-sheet) up to 100 sheets of B2 size per minute , check the print quality, and read variable information such as OCR and bar code decoding.※Theory-web(~300m/min)
Print quality inspection of variable images
The quality of printing is checked using digital plate-making data, such as PDF, as a master, Different plate-making data are replaced for each printing unit of the same pattern, and for each sheet, each sheet is replaced for each sheet, and the inspection is performed by comparing the printed copy with the plate-making data.
Variable data reading function
The Theory® can read a number of serial numbers, bar codes, etc. printed on the pages, check the read data, and record which prints are faulty if there are print-quality problems, and record lists of recovery productions (reprints).
Defect detection data output
The quality of the printed design, the error of the variable data, or both of the detected sheets (or pages or faces) are recorded as a problem, and can be output to the data sheet to be fed back to the upstream side of the digital workflow.
Also, by outputting the inspection history data sheet to the downstream side in the same manner, it can be used as inspection information for sorting such as discharge in the post-process.
