PRINTITRESELLER.UK 27 Introducing HP Print AI HP says it is transforming the printing experience with HP Print AI, which includes intelligent features to simplify and enhance printing from setup to support. The Perfect Output feature bridges the gaps between what people see on a screen and what they intend to print, reformatting and reorganising content to fit perfectly on the page the first time. Perfect Output can detect unwanted content like ads and web text, printing only the desired text and images, saving time, paper and ink. HP Print AI will also simplify and tailor support for individual customers. From the moment a customer turns their printer on, intelligent technology anticipates their needs – walking through each step of setup. HP Print AI leverages natural language and contextual awareness, remembering users’ preferences and past questions, so customers receive immediate and customised support whenever they need it. For the commercial market, HP announced the expanded availability of HP Scan AI Enhanced. This cloud‑based, AI-driven solution automatically recognises the type of documents being scanned and extracts key information based on the customer’s specific business needs. By reducing manual steps and data entry, this solution saves time and money for SMB and enterprise customers. HP is also extending AI capabilities to vertical industries, starting with design and construction. Its new Build Workspace enables design and construction professionals to easily create and organise site observations, facilitate collaboration, and automate tasks such as field reports. Key features such as site capture, AI vectorisation, and continuous feedback empower AEC professionals to streamline workflows and optimise designs. www.hp.com WHAT’S NEW Ensuring Compliance and Accurate Label Printing in Manufacturing, Transport & Logistics In industries like pharmaceuticals, food, and consumer goods, precise labeling is critical. Errors in labels can lead to product recalls, damaged reputations, and even pose safety risks. Therefore, in-line label verification during printing is essential to maintain quality and compliance. The Importance of In-Line Verification In sectors such as pharmaceuticals, labels carry vital information – dosing instructions, ingredients, and warnings. An error can make products defective, risking safety and compliance. This necessity extends to other industries, including food, beverages, health and beauty, and chemicals, where strict label standards are non-negotiable. However, not all companies have the tools for efficient label inspections, especially in-line systems that detect issues during printing. Stopping production to fix labeling mistakes is costly and disruptive. How In-Line Verification Works In-line verification systems identify issues like registration errors or voids as labels are printed. This allows workers to address problems immediately, preventing defective labels from halting production. Integrating verification into the printer ensures errors are caught before labels reach the rewinding stage, spotting mistakes invisible to the human eye. When printers detect issues, operators can adjust the printing method to meet quality standards. These systems also track print quality trends, allowing for adjustments that optimize output. Choosing the Right In-Line Verification System Many industrial printers can meet compliance standards, but critical applications may require enhanced verification systems. Third-party integrations, approved by printer manufacturers like Zebra, offer tailored solutions for specific needs. Recommended Solutions 1 Perceptor IoT: This software inspects labels in real-time for defects and non-compliance, integrating with Zebra ZT610 printers. It offers features like barcode grading and Optical Character Recognition (OCR), with secure connectivity via Azure Single Sign On. Suitable for various industries, it requires no technical knowledge for integration. 2 Omron LVS V275 Print Inspection System: Can be integrated with Zebra ZT610 printers, it detects print faults and verifies barcode quality to ISO standards and GS1 syntax. Features like Optical Character Verification and Data and Code Matching to verify encoded data and ensure synchronicity of multiple fields within a label, are crucial for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. 3 BLC Solutions: This flexible solution integrates with various Zebra printer models, addressing RFID and serialized barcode requirements. It supports automotive, medical device, and electronics manufacturing with customizable data capture for continuous improvement. Conclusion Zebra’s industrial printers are optimized for integration with third-party in-line verification solutions. This flexibility allows businesses to choose the best tool for their specific labeling and compliance needs, ensuring high-quality, error-free labels every time.
