The PQCS.net System
Prior to printing, your offset plates undergo a measuring process by PQCS.net. With a high-resolution camera, the area coincidence of the plate is measured and the measured value is compared with the set value (tolerance).
Each measurement reading is saved in a data base and may be recalled from there by your internet browser.
The PQCS.net system helps you to keep your platemaking safe and it provides stability for any platemaking process applied.

The PQCS.net Inline System
PQCS.net Inline includes a PQCS.net camera, which automatically measures and evaluates every single offset plate at the end of the platemaking process. This may be a punch or trim device or a plate feeder.

The PQCS.net Offline System
PQCS.net Offline is an independent mobile evaluation system for offset plates. It is easy to install and it automatically identifies the string data by OCR.
Manual measuring by PQCS.net Offline is done in less than 2 seconds.

The PQCS.net Test Wedge
A PQCS.net test wedge is copied onto every single offset plate allowing measurement of every plate. Up to 22 different raster fields between 0% and 100% may be specified.
In newspaper printing, a PQCS.net Test Wedge with 12 raster fields is most commonly used.
A PQCS.net test wedge with 15 raster fields and 3 visual test fields (e.g.1x1, 2x2, 3x3 pixel fields) is mainly used in commercial printing. It can be adjusted to the printing technology applied, is as small as 6 x 4 mm and may thus be copied to the non-image area of any printing plate.
Since every application is different, several PQCS.net Test Wedges may be positioned on the same plate. The number of test wedges applied corresponds with the number of PQCS.net cameras required.

Our PQCS.net System...
Your benefit...
With PQCS.net System, you stabilize your platemaking process and keep the quality of your plates on a high level.
The most important factors that may affect the quality of your printed matter are the settings of your exposure unit, the temperature and the status of the developing unit or the elution flui and the quality of the plate itself.
Subtle deterioration of quality is detectable in an instant since PQCS.net allows you to evaluate the history of your measurement data.
And with these records you can substantiate the quality of your plates anytime, even after months.

In short…
Save your nerves, your time and your money!
