Inspection Tools
Print Inspection software to verify variable data and printing integrity
The Discovery platform provides a comprehensive range of inspection tools for a variety of print quality and data integrity applications. These tools can work in combination with any other tool within the Discovery tool suite, therefore enabling complex inspections tasks to be performed simultaneously.
Tools include:
