Webnews Printing decides for Q.I. Press Controls

Q.I. Press Controls will be installing its IRS automatic colour register and integrated cut-off control system on the Ventura Press of Webnews Printing Inc., North York, Canada. The main reasons for choosing Q.I. Press Controls are the small register marks, the possibility to scan in front of the dryer and the availability of a good additional motorization package. The total project exists of 6 IRS scanners.

Patrick Callaghan, Director of Operations, was most involved in the decision making. “The decision to equip our Ventura Press, consisting of 2 towers of 4/4 color, 7 mono units and 2 folders, with Q.I. Press Controls’ IRS system, took us only about three weeks,” says Patrick Callaghan. “Not only the good reference of Jan Allan of Hebdo Litho in Montreal, Canada convinced us, but amongst others also the possibility of the IRS to scan from a unsupported web.” He continues: “Using a telecentric lens both scanners can be placed close to the last printing unit in front of the dryer. This enables us to control the register at a very early stage in the printing process, that will result in a considerable reduction of waste.”

Another reason for Webnews Printing to choose the IRS of Q.I. Press Controls are the small register marks. “We are a high quality printer. The fact that the IRS monitors virtually invisible register marks, fits the image we want to send out.”

Patrick Callaghan concludes: “Because currently corrections on our press need to be made manually on location, our wish to invest in a register control system requires an investment in motorization of this press. This in order to realize remote automatic control. Q.I. Press Controls has an excellent motorization package in its product range. For us this means we can keep everything in one hand.”

Gerald Ferron, Managing Director of Q.I. Press Controls North America: “I am very pleased with the way business is going at this time. This order is a valuable addition of the extensive installed base of Q.I. Press Controls.”
