Measuring, analyzing, optimizing
PrintCurve Checker enables print characteristic curves to be quickly monitored and analyzed. With one measurement of the printed Print Zebrastrip®, 20 tone value steps are recorded and graphically portrayed in an Isocontours® diagram. The user can see at a glance whether the desired standard has been maintained.
Important functions:
Fastest print characteristic curve measuring system
PrintCurve Checker is the fastest measuring system for recording complete print characteristic curves with the aid of 20 tone value steps. Besides that, multiple measurements made at different positions very quickly detect variations within the plate format. Statistical evaluations simplify documentation and process optimization.
Checking tone value increase
Tone value transfer quality compared with the prescribed print standard is easily visualized in an Isocontours® diagram. PrintCurve Checker already contains 5 Globalstandard/Eurostandard System Brunner® reference curves including tolerances for different types of paper or printing processes (e.g. newspaper printing). Individual reference curves can also be defined quickly and easily. By importing Plate Checker measurements a direct comparison of plate characteristic curves and print characteristic curves can be visualized which enables platemaking problems to be diagnosed.
Standardized production
After color balance, tone value increase is the next most important parameter concerning color deviations in printing. This is why every process step that can influence the end result must be controlled and monitored. Process mastery and process security are important prerequisites for standardized and industrial-scale print production.
