Lake Image has launched MaxScan, a new contact scanning technology for high-resolution print inspection. The new Discovery MaxScan provides a 600 dpi resolution for print inspection applications at web or sheet widths of 309mm(12″), 619mm(24″) or 929mm(36″). This enables a variety of inspection functions, including missing or blocked jets using the full Discovery MultiScan toolset. In addition, MaxScan provides full color images with color representation and repeatability.

MaxScan’s Linear Contact Scanner has a working distance of 12mm (1/2″). With a maximum headroom requirement of less than 170mm(7″), the Discovery MaxScan is designed for integration within the transport system of a press, without the need for additional rollers, redesigned web paths, large working distances or complex optical assemblies typical with standard camera inspection technologies.

The new product has the ability to provide consistent and reflection free images of holograms and foils. According to Lake Image, MaxScan allows the implementation of powerful inspection functionality to guarantee the quality and integrity of even the most challenging substrates.
