Transactional & Direct Mail

Production and fulfillment of statements, invoices, credit cards and election services documents require verification systems to verify output, identify errors and prove production integrity with absolute results. Lake Image Systems’ comprehensive reporting and tracking capabilities allow our customers to identify errors as they occur and prove the integrity of the final product. With cameras, scanners, and software specifically designed for a wide variety of mail production equipment, including sealed cameras which require no adjustment, our solutions are quickly adapted to the changing needs of this market.

Bindery and Finishing

Today’s bindery departments and service providers have a myriad of finishing equipment from guillotines and trimmers, folders and creasers, collators and booklet-makers to binders and laminators which gives them the flexibility to offer a wide range of finishing capabilities. Most of these require skilled personnel to precisely configure, setup and to constantly monitor, in order to ensure that a perfect booklet, catalog, magazine or bounded document is produced every time.

However, when something goes wrong it can be both time-consuming to trace the exact problem to a specific step or equipment, and very costly to reconfigure and set-up the various processing steps again to reproduce the work.

Lake Image’s DISCOVERY Bindery offers the latest generation of finishing integrity management solutions for all type of Bindery processes from Signature verification on Booklet markets to Read and Print solutions on poly wrappers.

DISCOVERY MULTISCAN Label Integrity Manager (LIM)

For multi-lane label production, DISCOVERY MULTISCAN Label Integrity Manager (LIM) tracks and collates information on each label in all lanes independently. Using the header information printed at the start of each label lane, LIM knows precisely the number of labels to expect in each lane as well as the start, end and the increment of the printed variable information (in instances where the label sequence is across the web) to determine that the correct sequence is being maintained. For random or non-uniform increments, the variable information captured can be matched against a lookup file or database to detect missing or out of sequence labels.

After each lane on the web has been slit and rewound onto multiple reels, LIM drives a Zebra printer to produce a “closure” label, incorporating an identifying barcode, for each reel. LIM also provides this support for turret rewinders. At the inspection station, by scanning the closure barcode on each reel, the correct Roll Mapping file is automatically selected for subsequent inspection. This greatly simplifies and speeds up the inspection process, removes operator error and provides the Label Printer and the client with a quality audit file for each label reel.
