According to Negi, the system uses the company's SpectroVue VM-10 spectrophotometer, which is supplied as standard on the hybrid machine or as an option for the others, to verify colour output ahead of printing. The ColorVerify system works without the printer having to sheet off, by printing the Color Check test strip and storing the colour values as a baseline in the printer's memory.
Test strips can then be printed throughout the run to measure back against the baseline to check for drift. The system also checks for any variance across the width of the platen and reports any inconsistency - critical for multi-panel jobs such as billboards.
Negi has so far installed around 200 Mutoh machines in India, which includes the ValueJet, Osprey, Draftstation and Viper series. Besides Mutoh, Negi also represents the Chinese made Polariz, Barak and its own Negijet wide-format printers in India.
