Axode Corporation, a global provider of security print inspection, plastic card verification and print quality solutions, has expanded its offerings for tough security print applications, such as hologram inspection, lamination inspection and security ink verification. 

The latest Axode technology, 1080NEO, is capable of identifying defects like threads on lamination, very small registration or print quality defects at speeds of over 1000 fpm. Combined with real-time data integrity verification, such as OCR reading, bar-code verification and database matching, the Axode 1080NEO provides quality inspection for printers and finishers of security documents, transactional documents and security labels.

“Security applications have unique requirements,” explains Pat Hoskins, Axode Corporation vice president. “Specialty inks, holographic technologies, layered images and lamination inspection command special expertise to find small defects on 100% of products at production speed. Axode 1080 NEO is the culmination of 26 years of security printing inspection experience and provides the industry’s fastest and most comprehensive inspection portfolio combining full color defect detection with data integrity verification.”
