software. Built from the original 3DQC Classic, Veritas is the newest anilox inspection microscope, from MicroDy- namics, strategically innovated for printers and converters. “With competitor systems, some anilox customers have complained of volume measurements not matching ours. Or worse, they’ve grown complacent with a large margin of error and no longer see the value in anilox inspection,” Nick Harvey, Apex Technical Director, said. “Now with the Veritas system, our customers can accurately inspect their anilox rolls using the same device we rely on, at a price point right for them.” Apex and MicroDynamics have validated a calibration technique using a proprietary set of calibration plates. By utilizing the Veritas microscope, the MicroScan3 software and Apex calibration plates, Apex International and Mi- croDynamics hope to establish the first industry standard process for accurate anilox measurements and roll quality inspection. “We are already seeing the benefits of this innovative system in our quality control practices and we look for- ward to seeing the impact it will continue to have in the anilox performance and quality control processes of our print customers,” said Ken Ralton, Apex Chairman.
