Product Range

K1: Designed for use in countries where extreme temperatures, irregular power supplies and dust contribute to a demanding environment. K1 is one of a range of print inspection systems for printers who require good quality, compact, easy to use print inspection at a low cost.

K2Colour: The unique K2colour is the industry’s first low-cost print inspection system to offer the substantial benefit of colour monitoring and wireless “image transfer” when on-demand images of the “live” print run are transferred from an installed K2it to networked PCs for inspection by nominated personnel in house or even on the other side of the world.

Lynx: The versatility of the award winning “Lynx” print inspection system coupled with superior picture quality based on flicker-free full-frame technology has made it the choice of printing companies worldwide. Designed for use on wide-webs, three-chip cameras provide excellent picture quality and user friendly auto-scan features provide a robust, reliable solution for any application.

Jaguar: Tectonic’s versatile “active” Jaguar print inspection system delivers, through the use of powerful algorithms, a fully-upgradeable print inspection system, expandable using simple plug and play design to provide the right tools at the right time and incorporates a selection of progressive scan digital cameras to suit a customer’s requirement.

Flexico V5: A great success with printers worldwide, the unique patented design of the Flexico V5 polymer-plate mounting machine evolved following an analysis of ‘what the printer wanted’ for fast and accurate mounting of plates. The machine, which has a rise and fall plate bed on which the plate is placed before being pulled forward under the cameras allows “hands-free” fast and accurate plate mounting from one or several different types of press.
