French print house works with QIPC-EAE

La Nouvelle Republique du Centre Ouest will be the third newspaper printing house in France to use closed-loop color control from Q.I. Press Controls - Engineering Automation Electronics (QIPC-EAE). QIPC-EAE, the Dutch specialist in measurement and control technology for the printing industry, will install a Performance Package at the print shop in Tours.

The Performance Package combines QIPC's measurement and control systems with EAE's control systems. La Nouvelle Republique du Centre Ouest has been using EAE's systems for many years. "It was logical to extend this to the rest of our press," says Laurent Lanos, director of the printing company.

The press consists of a Goss Uniliner from 2008 and Visa Creusot Loire from 1988 with three towers and one folder.

QIPC-EAE will install QIPC's IDS-3D color control system, equipped with Automatic Ink Mist Shield and dampening control. EAE's control systems will be extended to the Visa Creusot Loire, the Print PP system will be installed and there will be a PC retrofit, including two new control consoles.

QIPC – EAE is the result of the acquisition of EAE by Q.I. Press Controls in 2014.
