Express InkScript comes with an optional but powerful interface, IS Connect, to link-up most of common press console to receive Ink Key preset value via Ethernet. It runs on an independent PC and provides an enhanced interface connector to link-up your presses with modern production workflow. IS Connect accepts the calculated data from InkScript and converts them into specific machine format for presetting the ink keys in all heterogeneous environments.
IS Connect - Interface Card
for machine control station
What is IS Connect?
Direct Connection for Heidelberg and MAN Roland
IS Connect’s interface takes on the function of Heidelberg's Job Memory Card or MAN Roland's Chipcard and connects the machine control station via Ethernet to prepress. Ink key values are brought into line with individual printing conditions by the software
package supplied, converted to the specific machine format, and saved online to the machine control system via IS Connect.

Replace magnetic strip by safety online transmission
IS Connect’s interface provides a secure transmission of preset
data to the machine control station. It replaces the magnetic strip/tape units normally used on Akiyama, Komori, Mitsubishi, and Planeta machines, and prevents the associated risk of errors
from tedious handling of sensitive magnetic strips.
Advance Ink Key’s Linear Calibration on IS Connect
Each IS Connect option comes with a IS Connect software for
converting and adjusting the calculated preset data into actual
ink key values. IS Connect offers advanced color calibration
functions such as adjustment of linearization (Ink Keys and
Ductors), preview of Ink Zone values and print job, duct
roller/ink sweep control, and much more, which enables for
continuous process optimization.
Linear Calibration on IS Connect
Easier for Job Retrieval
IS Connect minimizes the set-up times from the adjustment of the calculated preset data to the actual ink zone values set on the
printing machine. Individual jobs can be copied from the control station back to the computer for repeat orders.
Support printing machines from nearly all manufactures
IS Connect works with a wide range of printing machines
consoles from nearly all manufactures, including Heidelberg,
MAN Roland, Akiyama, Komori, Mitsubishi, Planeta (Fuji and
WPC), KBA, Komori, Ryobi, Eltromat, and GMI.
