Heidelberg’s Prinect Inspection Control, the industry’s first, internally integrated in-line printing and material defect detection system, recently garnered a prestigious 2010 PIA InterTech Award, the company’s sixth in four consecutive years. Equally significant are reports from Heidelberg customers whose practical experience with Prinect Inspection Control corroborates the InterTech judges’ findings and demonstrates the labor-saving applications of this breakthrough technology.

Russell Haraf is the president of Nosco, Inc., a Waukegan, Ill.-based pharmaceutical packaging printer that installed a Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 105 press in 2008. The company served as a beta site for Prinect Inspection Control, which was installed the system after the XL 105 was delivered. According to Haraf,

“Our Speedmaster XL 105 press is one of the best capital investments Nosco has ever made. It runs amazingly fast, changeovers are a breeze, and start-up waste is minimal. What’s more, we’re thoroughly impressed by the confidence our operators have gained since Prinect Inspection Control was installed. They can now identify defects more effectively, and they also have an opportunity to reduce waste. The net result is a significant improvement in our overall material yield.”
