Benefits
Integration of CIP4 technology into the GrafiControl system provides:
- quicker setting of the printing machine
- shorter production cycles
- better quality control
- single collection of the same data
- time and financial saving
- reduction of the risk of error occurrence
- eliminating human error in the process, which is digitally controlled
- less waste
Ecological benefit:
- less waste thanks to the faster setting of the printing machine and machines for finishing operations and the associated reduced consumption of paper, ink and dampening solution
The JDF standard also provides:
- a tool for the complete description and monitoring of printing jobs in the wider context
- perfect definition of orders
- support of all production processes
- better control over the production flow of the printshop
- a means for more effective planning and economic evaluation
