Pixel Perfect™ redefines automated print inspection to provide PIXEL LEVEL inspections at full press speeds.
Pixel Perfect™ provides the highest level of print quality inspection available today. Pixel Perfect is an inline print verification solution used to inspect inkjet output on all media at maximum rated speed. Pixel Perfect automates typical quality control processes that would otherwise be done manually.
Videk developed and brought its Pixel Perfect solution to market to meet the industry-based demand for automated bit-level inspection of highly critical applications, such as election ballots, pharmaceutical instruction booklets, and content-sensitive product manuals in order to reduce the reliance on ineffective and time-consuming human error detection.
High-resolution Contact Image Sensors (CIS) are mounted into each print engine to image and evaluate every page. Defects such as small as 0.013 in (0.34 mm) can be detected at full press speeds. The operator's live web viewing monitor is mounted onto either print engine for easy accessibility while supporting top-line speeds. DocuVision® Pro software platform provides state-of-the-art processing technology, and Videk’s legendary quality control tools, such as Variable Data Validation, and Data Archive & Reporting.
Pixel Perfect delivers continual, real-time image quality assurance on every page to ensure that every image meets your customers’ uncompromising standards.
Videk’s intelligent print inspection finds and alerts press operators if there are differences between the print file and the original intended file.
