Inspection & Control

JobRef Enables job verification at the setup stage by automatically comparing the job to the original, customer-approved digital PDF file.

MasterRef Prevents production errors and reduces waste by enabling printers to save a master image of each job, which is later used to verify that repeat jobs are identical to the original.

Varnish Inspection Views and detects clear varnish/coating problems such as mis-register and starvation in parallel to the print inspection.

Clear Missing Label Detection This add-on module is designed for Helios LED-based systems to detect missing or partially missing clear, non-printed labels. When a label is absent or not fully adhered, the system alerts users and stops the rewinder to ensure consistent labeling and maintain quality control.
