Fingerprinting, or “press characterization”, is a test that measures press capabilities and can help us create printing plates tailored to your press. Traditionally, fingerprinting is done as a stand alone print job. This requires a complete set of printing plates made to fit your press only. It requires a full set up and press run. It is generally very time consuming and expensive to a printer. It also, unfortunately is only partially effective as a true press test. Tek Solutions is happy to create Fingerprint only plates for your press and analyze the results.

If you like, we also offer “press-side fingerprinting”. We can be press-side with one of our print technicians to either assist in the fingerprinting or just instruct.
