EAE is to put its colour control system loop into the Axel Springer newspaper plant near its factory in Ahrensburg near Hamburg.

The system will be installed in a three-web configuration on a manroland Colorman press at the site.

EAE says its Measurement system – which covers the entire web width without control patches – differentiates its product. A ‘web inspection’ function also detects failures in the printing process.

Plant manager Thomas Drensek says the order is a future-oriented investment “with excellent prospects for future use”.

EAE makes controls, automation solutions and software for newspaper production, used in all areas from prepress to dispatch.
