Ensure 100% print accuracy with an automated print inspection system

It is no longer enough to inspect only some of the variable data on labels, cards, and packaging and not the entire batch. If these barcodes are misprinted, missing, or duplicated, or if the printed data cannot be read, then this can cause tracking and authentication issues downstream which can ultimately undermine the effectiveness of the entire supply chain. Each and every item, together with its accompanying unique data, needs to be inspected and verified. Only an automated inspection system provides 100% accuracy and integrity to keep up with today’s high-speed production methods.

Automate variable data verification and print quality inspection

Lake Image Systems gives printers and their customers the confidence and reassurance that their production processes are correct, error-free, trackable, and importantly, auditable according to their end client’s needs.
