d'accord Scan Digital print inspection: The brilliant x-ray vision for your print products.
You know, I sit here day in and day out in my quiet office. And yet, all the time, I feel the machine park beneath me — particularly the continuous pounding of the punching machine. That triggers constant stress in me because I have to think all the time about all the things that can go wrong in production.Managing director of a large printing company in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

Three typical application fields
You can apply d’accord Scan for automated quality control at different levels of the print production. The sooner you use the control, the sooner you recognize production errors and can fix them more cheaply. The later you use the control, the more closely you check the final product, as it ultimately reaches the client or the consumer.
Control of print production.
Check early while production starts.
Before wasting time and material: The scan and precise digital examination of a printed sheet takes about a minute. Then you can specifically review all abnormalities on screen.
Check samples from large volume print jobs.
Unlike the inspection with film proofs, the digital inspection gives you constant results without fatigue and takes very little time: you can perform your assessments at a glance.
Control of outgoing goods.
Check before delivery for errors in the printed image.
Make sure that only perfect printing products leave your house. Check your finished product against the press-ready PDF before you deliver to your customers.
Control of incoming goods at the print buyer.
Check incoming print products immediately after reception.
Check in compliance with all complaints periods for undesired deviations from your PDF artwork - especially before you pack your goods or use package inserts.
