It’s a problem that regularly occurs on web presses in newspaper production: mis-registration. This occurs on old web presses when only part of the cylinder registers. It costs publishers time and money; on double width or larger web presses, it’s a time-consuming and expensive task to accurately align all plates on the same cylinder.
For all these problems, Arkitex Enhance PressRegister is the software solution. It easily and simply corrects the causes of mis-registration. This TIFF-based program is an affordable solution for an expensive problem.
Benefits
Resolves overall mis-registration issues
Such issues can be caused by the CtP equipment, plate punchers, benders, cylinder gripping, alignment pins, blanket wear, and any mechanical press misalignments. Cylinder and plate rotation errors, grip inaccuracies and the incorrect mechanical position of plates on the cylinder are other possible causes.
Fixes issues with resized or misaligned images
These can occur when multiple plate sizes are used.
Addresses non-linear registration problem
These can result from blanket and cylinder imperfections or slanted (not centered) cylinders.
