We design and develop in-house finishing machines for Print Quality Inspection, dedicated to the inspection and certification of the quality of printed products such as labels and packaging.
We develop solutions for printers, converters and packaging manufacturers requiring reliable and highly automated processes, available in web, single-piece and sheet-fed configurations.
Our systems do not simply detect errors, they certify the quality of the finished product. Unlike traditional inspection tables, where quality responsibility relies on the operator, our solutions automatically validate every correction performed, ensuring a zero-defect production process.
Thanks to the patented ZERO process, exclusive to Graphimecc machines, every production run is automatically certified, ensuring that only compliant products reach the market.
Thanks to a high level of automation, the inspection process is always performed correctly and consistently, eliminating the risk of errors caused by manual machine management.
Advanced vision technology automatically identifies print defects and verifies 1D and 2D variable codes, ensuring complete product inspection.
The machine architecture enables high productivity while maintaining inspection accuracy and process reliability.
Intuitive interfaces and automated processes simplify every production phase, reducing training times and minimizing the risk of human error.
Complete and always available electronic reports document every production run, providing objective proof of process quality and valuable support in managing potential claims.
Systems designed for roll-based products such as labels, tickets, and other roll-to-roll applications. The machines are equipped with advanced inspection systems that ensure high performance and reliability.
Solutions designed for tags, packaging, and individual products. The machines feature advanced inspection systems that guarantee high-quality results and reliable performance.
Machines developed for products manufactured in sheet format. The solutions are equipped with advanced inspection technologies to ensure accurate and efficient quality control.
Our Print Quality Assurance systems are designed to inspect a wide range of printed products, including labels, packaging, tickets, tags, and other graphic materials. Our solutions can be configured to operate with different production formats, from roll-to-roll and single-piece applications to sheet-fed production, ensuring accurate and reliable quality control throughout the entire process.
Our vision inspection system Spark Cam™, enable automatic inspection of print quality and product conformity, verifying graphic defects, variable data, 1D and 2D codes, OCR text, the presence and correct positioning of printed elements.
To learn more about the features of Spark Cam™:
In traditional inspection slitter rewinder (as know as Inspection Tables or Inspection Rewinding Machine), error correction is entirely managed by the operator and is therefore subject to manual evaluation. Graphimecc systems, on the other hand, integrate an automatic finished product inspection and certification process, ensuring objective validation of product conformity and reducing the risk of non-compliant products.
Discover the difference between Print Quality Control and Print Quality Certification:
Yes, we offer OEM solutions based on Spark Cam™ technology, designed to be integrated into existing printing, converting, and print finishing line processes. This allows manufacturers to add advanced inspection capabilities without changing the production workflow or introducing additional operational steps.
Discover the integration possibilities of Spark Cam™:
Label and packaging print inspection consists of the automatic verification of printed product conformity through the detection of graphic defects, printing errors, incorrect variable data, unreadable codes, or missing elements.
Our label inspection systems enable the inspection of every product during the production process, ensuring quality, traceability, and waste reduction for labels, packaging, and other printed materials.
Graphimecc has developed Spark Cam™ in-house, an advanced vision system used on its Print Quality Inspection machines and also available as an OEM module for integration into third-party production lines and equipment.

This flexibility allows adaptation to the widest range of materials, managing every production requirement.
Single-color, multi-color system
SPARK JET™ is available in two versions:
Automatic cleaning system
To maximise the durability of SPARK JET™ print heads, we have developed an automatic cleaning system that is fully managed via the machine’s central panel. This system cleans the heads every X hours of printing (with X being a parameter that can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the print and substrate) and positions them so that they rest in a way that protects them from ink drying inside the nozzles.
Furthermore, as it is fully motorised, it allows for easy and precise adjustment of the print head’s height and transverse position relative to the material.
High-precision adjustment holder
Each SPARK JET™ system is equipped, as a basic feature, with a high-precision adjustment system that, in the absence of the automatic cleaning system, allows the adjustment of the printer position both in height (distance from the substrate) and in transverse position with respect to the material.
With this option, the head cleaning and resting activities are manual.
