Print & Graphic Arts Inspection
Evaluate halftones, color registration, and print defects in detail for quality control in printing and packaging.
Smart G-Scope lets you examine halftones (rosettes), edges, CMYK registration, and defects such as banding or ink over/under-application.
It is useful for quality control in offset and digital printing, labels, and packaging, and also for validating print proofs.
Image capture makes it easier to communicate with suppliers and document production incidents.
Key benefits
- Sharp visual analysis of halftones and edges
- Identification of registration and alignment issues
- Fast defect documentation for traceability
- Lightweight tool for desk or line inspection

Practical examples
Color registration control
Detect shifts between CMYK layers and assess edges in small typography or fine lines.
Halftone and moiré inspection
Analyze halftone patterns to identify moiré issues or inconsistent density.
Packaging validation
Check print quality on textured materials (cardboard, laminates) and detect defects before packing.
Limitations & best practices
- For accurate colorimetric measurement, dedicated instruments are required (densitometer / spectrophotometer).
- Lighting and viewing angle affect glossy papers and reflective laminates.
