Hallmarker Series - Hallmarker
As printing becomes increasingly automated, it is becoming more
difficult to differentiate yourself from other companies.
There are methods with which detail checking standards can be
unified and checking certificates can be issued in order to win the
trust of clients.
Can be used in various checking processes
* Checking corrected parts and errors in
corrections at the time of creation
* Comparing the draft at the time of data
submission with data following RIP
* Crosschecking samples and existing
version data at the time of re-versioning
* Checking details of proofread documents
after pagination and details on individual
pages
* Checking printed materials at the time
of printing out in order to detect damage
to plates or faults with machines
* Checking details of proofread documents
and original documents at the time of
shipment
Hallmarker can compare and check any combination of various media (laser-printed paper,
ink jet-printed paper, DDCP, printed originals, and digital data) used in each checking process,
at high speed.
Also, Hallmarker adjusts paper expansion and shrinkage as well as rotation at the time of input,
and corrects errors due to smudging of characters at the time of printing, so that only errors
related to printed contents are detected and reported.
You can simultaneously output checking results to files with informationsuch as the person
responsible and comments - these files can be sorted by the time and scope of checking - and
send these checking results and details with highlighted parts to clients and other departments
in your company.
This is our solution to strengthening your relationship with your clients by building an end-to-end
quality control process from draft submission in printing.
Auto-registration function
The most important thing in comparison checking is position alignment of checking areas. It is impossible to prevent images from having their sizes changed or being distorted due to differences in types of paper or shrinking and expanding at the time of input. Hallmarker can automatically detect checking areas from the original to be compared against and adjust positioning simply by specifying checking areas on the original draft to be compared against. Hallmarker detects the number of pages paginated and rotation, and automatically adjusts positioning even if the draft to be compared against has numbering in several places. Naturally, it also has a manual-positioning function with simple operation for drafts for which automatic positioning cannot be used. Further, checking areas can be saved as diagrams and can also be used as standardized templates.

Various settings for different scopes of checking
Since Hallmarker can check any combination, you need to configure settings to obtain the optimal results depending on aspects such as the type of media, color space, output route, and input route for each checking combination. In addition to the positioning alignment function, color correction and intra-image smoothing, you can set the permissible ranges for image offsets and identifying similar shapes, and save optimal checking settings for the details of the checking scope in the form of a table by combination type.
Tabulating various setting values depending on the combination
of checking scopes
If you register setting values as per the combination of media,
you can carry out operations by simply selecting the checking
type.
Sharing and standardizing checking results
You can view checking results using the Hallmarker
main part browser function, and can view saved
checking information at any time. Additionally, you
can print out checking results in an image form
including the checking standard image name, the
name of the images in-scope, the time and date of
checking, and the name of the persons responsible
for checking.
Since the size of the printed image is very small,
you can attach it to emails and can also view it
remotely using an internet browser, submit it as a
certificate of checking to your client when submitting
subsequent proof-reading, or use it as a certificate
of meeting specific checking criteria by delivering it
with the printed documents to you client.
Display mode with which you can easily view checking results
You can use HallmarkerViewer, which is bundled for free and the main Hallmarker tool to view checking results. The following modes are available.
Distortion function via
blinking display
By displaying the original image and
one with positioning adjustment
blinking in turn, you can clearly see
differences in the same way as with
actual optical axis adjustment checking.
Displaying packaging and labeling with multiple pages on a single sheet for checking Multiple pages on a single sheet can be checked in the same way as for checking pages one sheet at a time. There are two modes for viewing checking results 窶・a mode in which you can view an overview sheet and one in which in which you can view each page individually.
Display highlighting areas of
difference
Areas with differences can be
highlighted by being displayed
inside a line.
You can change the thickness and
color of the lines to be used for
highlighting, and can also specify
the contour offset.
You can contrast the color tone between inside and outside
the area to emphasize areas of difference.
Split-screen display
The upper screen shows the draft being
compared (corrected)
The lower screen shows the draft being
compared against
(with correction instructions)
You can split the screen to
simultaneously display the
original image and the image
to be compared so that you
easily compare parts where
there are differences.
Hallmarker handles various types of comparison and checking in printing processes
1. Check instructions for corrections and parts corrected
at the time of production
2. Cross-check comprehensive layout submitted through
production or externally and data for which RIP was
carried out with company facilities
3. Check data and proof-read drafts after the plate-making
process Check existing version films and printing plate-
making data Check previous samples and printing plate-
making data
4. Check printing plate-making and proofread drafts or
company internally proofread drafts
5. Randomly check proofread drafts, proofread data, and
printed-out materials
Optional functions
Color profile creation and color space correction options A color chart provided by Hallmarker can be printed out with your regular printer, and you can compare data input with a scanner with the original chart to automatically create profiles for color combinations. In this way you can check devices with different color ranges such as combinations of CMYK and RGB.
Color profile creation and color space correction option Automatically create profiles based on the CMYK digital chart and input target data.
Options for checking between digital data This option is necessary to compare and check digital data items following RIP. Fine gradation differences can be detected, achieving rapid checking.
Options for automatic checking options linked with scanners When using Hallmarker to read master (comparison source) images and then start this function, the scanner will start reading images and will start checking by automatically and simultaneously adjusting positioning, and will save or display checking results. In this way, operations are drastically simplified and you can automatically check multiple samples with a single master.
*This scanner to be connected requires a function which automatically saves scanned images to specified folders.
