Advanced Vision Technology (AVT), a manufacturer of automatic print inspection, color control and quality assurance systems for the printing industry, has been named a partner in the HP Partner Program for the Indigo division, to provide HP customers with high-end inspection systems for HP Indigo WS6000 digital presses and HP Indigo Press ws4500.

AVT already has a large installed base within the labels and packaging market, and is seeing growing demand for inspection systems on digital presses and digital workflows, according to AVT CEO Shlomo Amir. The company, he says, has fine-tuned its PrintVision/Helios II narrow web product to meet the needs of the labels and packaging digital printing segment. PrintVision/Helios II is a 100 percent automatic inspection platform. Added-value modules provide verification of bar codes and variable codes, job verification against an approved digital PDF file, connectivity with a company’s management information system, and complete press-to-rewinder workflow connectivity.

“We will work together with HP’s Indigo division to provide the industry and our mutual customers the tools they need,” says Amir. “We have invested many years of work in developing end-to-end workflow solutions that ensure the best printing results and 100 percent print inspection, and we are committed to continuing development to support the future needs of digital printers.”

AVT, based in Hod-Hasharon, Israel, has more than 2,300 PrintVision inspection systems installed worldwide.
