smartgps smartgps : the smartest way of doing registration and impression related set-up unique offline set-up technology >> dramatic savings >> > considerably increases press uptime requires no operator input the set-up is fully automatic > perfectly consistent results irrespective of shift, time, ambient conditions etc. > works on any substrate incl. reflective materials > completely eliminates the danger of over-impression and subsequent danger of damage to plates > provides the correct impression setting independend of different drying characteristics > works independend of the ink or coating colour, i.e. also works with clear varnishes & lacquers > does not require target marks in the printed design saving ink and substrate through the entire run > also tracks anilox sleeves in the machine which reduces the chance of mix-ups BOBST GROUP SA I LAUSANNE/MEX I AUGUST 20th, 2012 I SLIDE 16
