Comprehensive Quality Control Begins and Ends with Off-Line Inspection
In-line systems confirm every printed component is 100% the same, but, if the files are wrong to begin with, the shipment will be 100% wrong… and your customer will be the first to let you know. Use off-line-inspection software as your last line of defense.
Reduce back-and-forth with customers on
top of wasted printing materials.
High-res inspections that can verify
barcodes with greater accuracy.
Easily confirm files are error-free before
they even go to print, in seconds.
