From administration to the press, all worksteps are bundled into one word: printnet. Not only does it sound good but it also saves a lot of time and money and improves quality. printnet equips you with a clear-cut workflow for the challenges of the future.

Perfect job administration. The printnet PressManager perfect lets printing companies of any size assert and develop their position in the market. All data and processes are networked into a smooth-running operation. In JDF workflow, the printnet PressManager perfect automatically prepares jobs, assigns the PPF data, and automatically performs all technical presettings. The result: a significant amount of time is saved, printing results are improved and there is less waste. The IntegrationPilot* also improves operating convenience. Highlights include CIP3 and JDF workflow as well as detailed planning of printing job sequences.
Precise ink control. The ColorPilot ink measuring and controlling system measures print control strips at a high speed of 25 centimeters per second. This allows densitometrical and colorimetrical* values to be measured simultaneously, ensuring consistently high printing quality. As a result, makeready and controlling times as well as waste are drastically reduced, especially for difficult printing formats.
Convenient data input. Shopfloor data collection enables simple and fault-free after-job cost accounting and control. In contrast to conventional SFDC terminals, this makes it possible for the operator to input the reasons for waiting, auxiliary, and downtimes at any time and without stress resulting from an idle press – even after the completion of a job.
Effective waste reduction. The ROLAND InlineInspector contributes to waste reduction by detecting all types of faults early on. Errors are instantly detected, allowing the press operator to react immediately. Three fault ratings can be set, as well as five sensitivity stages. The system detects faults including hickeys, scratches, streaks, creases and dog-eared corners, splashes of water, oil and washing agent, scumming, clear ink deviations, doubling, and faults in the printing substrate.

Quality means that the customer comes back, not the product.
Don’t leave the final check to chance. printnet quality management ensures that only good sheets with consistently high quality leave your printing company. A solid basis for long-term good customer relations, proven successfully more than 2,000 times.

Gray balance control. Thanks to okBalance® you achieve highest-possible stability throughout the entire run. The software complements the proven solid density control of the ColorPilot system by gray balance control. The advantage: with four-color images and tertiary hues in particular, the human eye reacts more sensitively to fluctuations in the superimposed halftones than to fluctuations in solid densities. okBalance® takes this into account and applies it to ink slide control.
Fault-free production. The ROLAND InlineInspector detects even extremely minor faults. A camera installed on the last printing unit inspects each and every sheet for any faults. A tape inserter automatically marks defective sheets at full production speed. The ROLAND InlineInspector makes manual random checks unnecessary and reduces complaint costs.
Complete start-to-finish color control. With the ROLAND InlineColorPilot, manroland has taken the next logical step: color control in the press. This makes it unnecessary to pull proofs for ink measuring and controlling, saving time in both the makeready phase and production run while increasing the stability of the printing quality. Moreover, complete run documentation is a quantum leap for quality control in the press.
All doors are open to you with printnet.
If you are open to everything, you won’t ignore anything. After all, we just want you to use printnet for one purpose: to improve quality and efficiency.

Flexible workflow. With printnet you implement the workflow that puts you ahead. Depending on operational conditions, printnet can be optimally adjusted to individual work processes. Options range from complete networking with printnet PressManager perfect in JDF workflow to simple networking of prepress and pressroom and ink presetting with the printnet PressManager smart.
JDF networking. manroland is one of the four initiators of the JDF standard: early on in February 2003, manroland pioneered the first JDF networking worldwide between an MIS and manroland printing presses. This advance is still maintained today. manroland remains the leader in printing press networking. More than 2,000 sheetfed printing companies with 4,000 presses are already networked with printnet PressManager.
ColorPilot. printnet opens up more flexibility in color management. Automatic ink presettings from printnet provide the ideal basis for color control. This makes it possible to further shorten the makeready phase in conjunction with the ColorPilot color control system.
ColorPilot smart. ColorPilot smart is the entry-level system for color control. Specifically designed for the ROLAND 200, the system provides documented, stable quality. That makes the printing process even more efficient.
