Israel’s first QuadTech inspectio n system for white ink elimination

CLP printing manager Moshe Reem, CLP maintenance director Nassimy Edmond and QuadTech regional sales manager Caroline ZimmerQuadTech has sold its first Inspection System in Israel, to CLP of Kibbutz Negba. Installed on a new eight-colour gravure press, the QuadTech system was chosen for its ability to inspect translucent and transparent flexible packaging materials, without the need for white ink-simplifying production and enabling substantial financial savings. Prior to its QuadTech purchase, CLP had been printing white to provide a target to help other inspection systems function on these very common substrates. However, as white ink wasn’t requested by customers, it was a cost that CLP had to absorb. This not only included ink costs, but also extended to prepress time, flexo plates and gravure cylinders too.

Inspecting 100 percent of the web, 100 percent of the time, QuadTech Inspection System detects process faults including spots, streaks, mis-prints, mis-register, colour variation, contamination, dry-in and haze. With an easy-to-use operator interface and fast set-up, the QuadTech Inspection System provides a high level of quality assurance for converters and their customers. “We are very pleased that, throughout the process, QuadTech worked closely with us to support our needs,” says Israel Moran, supply chain manager, CLP.
