Independent supplier of electronics and software, Meteor Inkjet, has introduced MetCal software, developed for the improvement of print quality of single-pass systems.
Aiming to solve some of the biggest challenges faced by single-pass inkjet printing, particularly across the web, MetCal runs Meteor’s new nozzle-out compensation technology. It automates the usage of the PrintFlat tool, which creates a unique calibration screen for each individual printer and works together with an embedded version of ScreenPro. This will remove repeatable artefacts caused by variations in performance within a printhead and in the stitch area between printheads.
Clive Ayling, managing director, commented, ‘MetCal addresses long-standing industry issues associated with single-pass printing, such as single pixel streaks caused by clogged or failed nozzles, banding due to printhead stitching issues and streaking or mottling on various substrate types. Customers can now benefit from straightforward printer calibration and dramatic print quality improvement, all integrated into a neat Meteor package.’
The software is available now for any system using Meteor electronics.
