MicroColor NW

 

The Next Generation of Remote Ink Control, Providing Digital Accuracy from an Intuitive Touch Screen

The new Microcolor NW control station is a direct response to the growing demands now being faced by printers. In today’s competitive environment, no press can operate profitably without the benefit of fast, accurate ink control. To enhance the automated servomotors of the Microcolor system even further, GMI has developed a highly intuitive, touch screen control station. This new workstation can be readily configured at any location on the press line where inking adjustments need to be managed. An optional LCD-based operator console provides even more feedback on press status, along with easy-to-use diagnostic views. Thousands of printers around the world already rely on this combination of easy operation and reliable digital performance to deliver savings of 30% to 50% on make ready, and reductions of 10% or more in running waste.

  • Controls inking on the entire press from a simple touch screen
  • Shows CIP plate previews, direct from the RIP
  • Stores an unlimited number of jobs on local hard disk, or to a central, plant-wide network server
  • Compatible with the latest ColorQuick/Clarios closed-loop spectral color controls
  • New, highly flexible, architecture supports “plug & play” upgrades and press expansions

Benefits:

  • Cuts make ready waste and start-up times by up to 50%
  • Accurately recalls previous ink fountain profiles for an entire press in just seconds
  • Enables inexperienced operators to achieve top-quality color with more confidence, sooner
  • Add years to the productive life of existing presses
