High-speed printing roller temperature directly affects ink viscosity and color registration; a 5°C drift can scrap an entire roll.
At a high-speed commercial printer, ink viscosity depends on the roller temperature. A drift of just 5°C is enough to throw off color registration enough that the entire roll has to be scrapped. The print floor operator can't be at every press all day, and the press operator can't watch a thermometer.

A Thermalpas roller-type sensor reads the press roller in real time. OctosX pipes that reading directly into the press PLC, which adjusts the heater output continuously. The operator doesn't need to babysit — the system holds the temperature steady to within a degree.

The print shop's color-mismatch reject rate dropped 60%, saving $800K per month in returns. The press operator can now run more presses with less attention — and the production manager sleeps better.
