Softproofing is a technique that allows the operator to view on a monitor what the print should look like when it appears on paper. Two different proofing alternatives are available:

Content proof – A standard monitor is used for proofing the pages.

Color proof – A color-calibrated monitor is used for proofing the pages with high-quality color intent.

Press Interface

The user interface for the printing process is operated from a 22” touch screen that provides the operator with options to control and make adjustments to the product currently being printed. Information, status and alarms will inform the operator about current conditions. The software has several different modules that can be enabled depending on the features installed on the press. Multi-language support is natively built into the interface.

The platform is designed to be highly flexible and compatible with a wide range of printing presses and configurations. Both cold and heat set machines sized from single-width/single-round to triple-width/double-round machines are supported. This makes it the perfect candidate for new installations as well as retrofitting. Custom machine layouts are provided for each installation, making it easy to customize and match the customer’s press layout. Remote connection options ensure easy remote assistance and diagnostics for DCOS technicians.

With the built-in configuration editor, user-defined configurations can be created and stored. The editor has support for multiple web leads and an integrated pagination engine that will aid the operator in daily use.

DRCS inspection systems

DRCS is a closed-loop inspection system developed in-house for the offset printing industry. It operates together with the other DCOS systems as well as a standalone application. DRCS has been developed for three main purposes, reducing start-up waste, maintaining good quality and reducing ink consumption during a complete production run.

The DRCS inspection system includes different scanning products for various applications and purposes. The system is designed to search, find and analyze specific printed register patterns in order to measure and evaluate deviations in the printed product online, immediately after the print.

The DRCS products have been developed by a unique technology that provides market-leading performance when it comes to rapidity of finding marks and measuring resolution. The system is designed for web speeds of up to 20m/s. As the competition on the market grows, DCOS stand in the frontline and offer designed products with excellent performance. Our focus is to increase customer efficiency and lower costs with an intelligent closed-loop inspection system.

DCOS Drive & control systems

Every printing press needs a drive and control system to be functional. The choice of partner and solution is decisive;: the profitability, reliability and quality of your printing press and what its produces will mainly dependbe influenced upon the automation package you select. The drive and control system is the backbone of every automation solution.

DCOS has designed a concept that covers the complexity of a modern printing press and also allows the system to be flexible enough to handle all kinds of retrofit projects with or a mix of different machines- types and auxiliary equipment used in the printing process. The structure of the system is built to handle all types of options and individualities.

With a mix of centralized and de-centralized intelligence, the scalability becomes almost endless, from the petite small system with justonly one motor to the big press with hundreds of motors and options.

The system is module- based, each new module beingis carefully tested by the technicians in a controlled environment; the modules can be mixed to match the exact type of configuration required.
