Digital inspection system SCANDIFF2, SCANDIFF2-CD

for the printing industry

Scandiff2 is an off-line digital media comparison system. The system manages all common digital image file formats and is able to acquire image data from dedicated acquisition devices as well. Scandiff2 is mostly used in the different phases of the pre-press document processing: incoming customer PDF reference files can be matched against the pre-press processing result PDF document (PDF to PDF comparison); the pre-press processing result PDF document can be matched against the first printed samples during machine set-up (PDF to acquisition comparison); during production Scandiff2 proofs the production result by comparing the acquired image against the reference PDF (PDF to acquisition comparison); once the machine set up has been completed, it is possible to acquire a “good” printed sample as reference, and use the Scandiff2 to proof acquired samples against the reference (acquisition to acquisition comparison); during production it is possible to compare acquired samples against a reference coming from the customer, independently on the file format of the reference (BMP, PDF, physical sample to acquisition comparison).
