Fischer & Krecke Wins FTA Technical Innovation Award

smartGPS is a new technology in registration and impression setting. Unlike conventional systems which perform set up in the press through a manual or automatic optical system, smartGPS does the job offline at the plate-mounting stage while adding almost no additional time to that process.

With a press equipped with smartGPS the print setting is finalized before the job enters the press. Once the sleeves are inserted, the press can be immediately accelerated to production speed and print with the correct impression and register. With smartGPS the shorter the print runs and the more change-overs, the greater the cost savings.
