iPQ-Check Digital: 100% Print Inspection for Digital Printing

iPQ-Check Digital

The iPQ-Check Digital from BST is a high-performance print inspection system designed for digital printing. Built on the trust iPQ-Check for analog printing, it adds advanced features for 100% print inspection, flexible job handling, and is ideal for short or variable runs in industrial digital printing. Paired with BST's SMARTData, it ensures seamless workflow integration from prepress to postpress.

iPQ-Center

iPQ-Center 

iPQ stands for increased productivity and quality: The BST iPQ Center is a high-end quality assurance system designed to maximize efficiency, print quality and overall production performance. Unlike systems that focus on individual steps. The iPQ Center monitors and optimizes the entire printing process to deliver smarter, faster and more reliable results from start to finish

Smart, modular design that integrates systems for: 

  • Web monitoring (iPQ-View)
  • 100 % print image inspection (iPQ-Check)
  • Spectral color measurement (iPQ-Spectral) 
  • Digital printing (iPQ-Check Digital)

Why choose a powerful, integrated system?

  • All-in-One Functionality
    • Combines web monitoring, 100% print inspection, spectral color measurement and in one operating system. 
  • Modular Design
    • Customize your system to fit current needs with the flexibility to expand as your operations grow.
  • Centralized Control
    • Manage high-performance, previously separate systems through one intuitive interface for centralized access. 
  • User-Friendly Interface
    • Enjoy enhanced clarity and ease of use with a standardized, intuitive design.
  • Efficient Operation
    • Benefit from quick setup times and automatic component control to reduce downtime and improve productivity. 
  • Optimized Workflow Integration
    • Powered by SMARTData software, ensuring seamless connection between systems and sensors for maximum efficiency. 

Digital printing requirements

Digital printing requirements

  • Short run times

  • Seamless job changeover

  • Multi-job rolls

  • Variable format length per lane

  • Variable format length per lane

  • Variable data

  • Seamless documentation

 

Leads to

  • Highly automated set-up processes with less or no operator intervention

  • Deep integration into prepress

  • Detection of errors from the very first format

  • Detection of errors in digital printing

  • Variable data

  • Digital workflows

 

BST Solution

  • The available integration with HP One Package (further integrations on request) allows relevant job data to be easily exchanged, faulty sheets to be automatically ejected and manual processes to be automated
  • Fully PDF-based print inspection from the first format
  • Continuous synchronization - tracing at panel level
  • Error classes related to the digital printing process (e.g. streaking, banding)
  • All the advantages of the familiar iPQ-Check system for analogue printing
  • Optional: hybrid system (more precise colour monitoring with optional teach-in function (known from iPQ-Check in the analogue printing process)
  • Products with a wide range of variants and individualization down to a small print run
  • With the SMARTData products and the resulting open interface solution, the iPQ-Check Digital can be seamlessly integrated into the prepress and postpress processes (e.g. corrugator), thereby automating manual processes

Errors related to digital printing

In addition to standard and custom error classes from analog printing, common digital printing errors can also be detected.
