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.
