Closed Loop Color Control

THE MOST USER FRIENDLY AND ACCURATE

CLOSED LOOP COLOR CONTROL

CCC is a versatile Closed Loop Color Control that is used on a web

offset printing press for scanning and correcting color values on the
run. The system can communicate with a wide range of press controls
to make color adjustments. On older presses, we supply fountain
controllers to drive existing ink key actuators, eliminating the need to
make expensive ink fountain upgrade.

assembly, a custom LED strobe illuminates
the color bar area for microseconds and an
image is grabbed with a color camera. The CPU recognizes the
color bar patches from the image and accurately calculates the
color value of each patch. Based on these values, the CPU sends
commands to remote processors for adjusting individual ink keys.
