MediaCheck 3_3 update

MediaCheck 3_3 with more power and flexibility!

New features in print inspection and print quality control with MediaCheck 3_3!

We have just given a fantastic new update to our reliable and proven MediaCheck system. The focus is entirely on stability and automation. MediaCheck 3_3 therefore comes up with new structures and some features that make the system even faster, more elegant and more powerful. We have revised the hot folder monitoring and added the separate ScanStation. Of course, we have also added new practical features as well as numerous extensions and optimizations for even more efficiency and performance.

The new features and optimizations include the use of existing images of an inspection job, e.g. for further processing in the barcode inspector, the “free” choice and adaptation of the inspection resolution to connect other image sources, and the redesign of various input masks.

Our latest update also includes the update of various libraries, including the integration of the latest version 18 of the Adobe PDF library in order to be able to offer the best available support for processing PDF files. In other words with the update you can be sure that all PDF-files can be read as reference!

MediaCheck 3_3 offers a lot of additional modules to automate the quality control of printed material. It can be embedded in prepress workflow solutions. With the SimpleScan Station the scan and the evaluation are separated. The machine conductor in the printing shop scans the printed sheet when the machine is set up. Any member of the quality control can check the evaluation anytime and anywhere with access to the network.

MediaCheck is independent from any platform and therefore runs on Windows, OS and Linux. With its client-server-architecture is still the pioneer in sophisticated print inspection, content control of printing and packaging goods. Many printing and pharmaceutical companies are among the satisfied users of MediaCheck.

Contact us and secure an early date for the update. For everyone else this is a great opportunity to consider a plan updating to MediaCheck 3_3.

SimpleScan Station

SimpleScan Station for Print Quality Inspection

With SpimpleScan Station you save time on the print machine.

SimpleScan Station builds the bridge between print machines and Quality Control.

Print inspection should be carried out as quickly as possible! On the other hand, the quality assurance department cannot be manned permanently or positioned at the printing presses. So far, the printed sheets were physically brought to quality assurance.

MediaCheck has now a solution here and separates the scanning and evaluation processes:

  • The printed sheets are scanned in where they are created – at the printing presses in the production.
  • The quality assurance works in your office or in your home office and evaluates the quality of the printed sheets – promptly and regardless of location!

With the SimpleScan station, every employee in production can scan the printed sheets with just a few entries – after setting up the job, after changing rolls or pallets, after changing plates. He scans the sheet and then returns to his machine.

Moments later, the quality assurance receives the results of the print inspection on their screen – in their own office or in the home office. She can assess the deviations. After evaluating the deviations, the machine operator is informed via the SimpleScan station, by email or by phone.

If everything is fine, the machine operator can be sure! If serious deviations are found, the job can be stopped immediately. The error can be corrected. Follow-up costs are avoided. Material and working time are saved.

The base of the MediaCheck system – the server-client principle – has proven itself again here and enables flexibility in the processes of your company.

The connection of our MediaCheck system to existing workflow systems for automatic data inspections in prepress was the beginning and an important step in the preparation for further automation steps, which we use with our SimpleScan Station – the youngest member of the MediaCheck system.

Have we piqued your curiosity? Talk to us and make an appointment. We would be happy to present the SimpleScan Station to you personally or virtually.

“Our customers expect Top-Service and Top-Quality” explains Anke Hoefer CEO at TOP-Label. Their own prepress team designs customer labels, changes print files and produces printing plates inhouse.

In the production the machine conductors are sensible to the quality of their printing. They rely on MediaCheck for the print inspection. Of each order they take and scan samples and compare them against the customer PDF-files with the MediaCheck system. They see even small deviations on the screen and can check in short time if the printed labels correspond to the customer approval.

Since more than a year TOP-Label uses MediaCheck which is always updated on basis of the rental contract with tec4check.

“Thanks to MediaCheck and other activities we have well increased our quality level” states Tobias Hoefer, production manager, proudly.

Media Check 3.2

Media Check 3.2 for more power in print inspection

“In order for the possible to arise, the impossible has to be tried again and again.”

Famous words by Hermann Hesse that also escort us continuously in the development in order to make the existing more efficient and to expand it in a meaningful way. For this we have implemented many ideas and feedback in the new version Media Check 3.2 as well as let our creativity run free. We are proud of it and are very happy to present you the “impossible”.

Media Check 3.2 new features:

Media Check Version 3.1 launched now!

At tec4check we develop continually our Media Check System. Basis of improvement is the feedback of our customers about their needs. Again, with Media Check Version 3.1, we have managed to implement not only product maintenance and stability improvements In addition, we have also integrated some new functionalities that make working even easier and more efficient.

In Media Check Version 3.1 we have added flexible filters to the audit trail. Events and entries in the audit trail can be searched easily by different filters and even exported as a separate PDF report.

With a further innovation of Media Check Version 3.1 the server configuration can be accessed and changed from the client. In this way the administrator can define many central settings of the MediaCheck configuration, such as the protocol export and the lifetime of inspection jobs – conveniently and easily from the normal client.

For better understanding the color distance and adaption, we have implemented additional displays that illustrate the chosen settings and their tolerance. You can see the difference relativ to the current parameter settings. The feeling for the parameters and their effect becomes clear, the parameterization simpler and thus the way to the optimal inspection result will be greatly simplified.

With the version 3.1 the connection module integrates MediaCheck into workflows based on hotfolders. The folderdaemon in the connection module allows the surveillance by the users – easily!

The booklet module can now work with templates. This increases automation for the checks of books or multi page products.

If you are interested, please give us a call or send us a mail. We will present voluntarily our Media Check!!
