AlpVision has released the first version of a new system for quality control for the Cryptoglyph printed in varnish. The new tool enables a real-time and user-friendly assessment of the printing quality of AlpVision’s invisible marking flagship. The marking is typically printed in flexography and integrated directly into the varnish layer. The system comprises an iPhone and a custom box which is open on one side. The iPhone (5 or 5s) is used to run a quality control iPhone app that analyses the video stream in real-time. The main purpose of the box is to keep the iPhone at a specific distance and orientation in respect to the carton sample, while protecting the analyzed area from extraneous light. This new tool will be ready for shipping in Q2 2014.
