The economical solution for precise register settings: AR 4400 allows for precise register adjustment on a wide range of machine types, including offset, hybrid, and label printing machines. BST's precision solution is impressive in every way, including its compact design, intuitive touchscreen operation, and ease of installation.
Color and temporary register (front-to-back register) adjustment is handled reliably by AR 4400, as is control of additional printing units (e.g. flexo printing units) or tool stations (e.g. rotary die-cutting).
AR 4400 system capabilities
The system properties of the AR 4400 have been perfectly adapted to printing applications with the highest requirements for quality.
- High performance register control for offset and narrow web flexo machines
- Reliable adjustment of color- and front-to-back registers
- Reliable control of additional printing units and processing units
- Up to 20 printing or processing units can be controlled by the system
- Up to 12 colors can be controlled by one single AR 4400 camera unit sensor
- Easy guided operation by a visualization of the specific machine layout
- Easy selection and simultaneous adjustment of register groups or all registers
- Web-web and web-cylinder register control methods
- Measurement of space saving BST micro dot marks
- Adjustable back strobe for low contrast inks or transparent substrates
- Through light front-to-back register in web-web measuring process in combination with the adjustable back strobe
- Web-cylinder method for front-to-back register control irrespective of material (transparent/opaque)
- Synchronization module for continuous and semi-rotative processes
- Live color image for easy assessment of quality
- RegiChart – trend display to visualize the register deviations
- Job preparation during production run
- Job memory

AR 4400 SF
The AR 4400 SF (Sheet Fed) variant is specially designed for sheetfed printing.
With the system it is possible to measure and control the color register as well as the diagonal register and the relative print length of printed sheets.
By means of the sophisticated sampling process, all registers can be measured and adjusted on the basis of a signle sheet.
