Automatic Ink Presetting

Prinect makes all this possible. Ink presetting characteristics are stored in the press and selected automatically based on the production parameters. You control the exact opening of the ink zones so that the correct amount of ink is always applied to the paper for any paper/ink combination. If color values are adjusted during printing, Prinect enables you to adopt these settings as a new characteristic. Make-ready times are cut, the production run can start sooner and more precisely, and jobs can be reproduced with absolute reliability.
