GREEN BAY, WI, Oct 21, 2026 – BW Converting will showcase a portfolio of Baldwin print inspection technologies for label and packaging converters at LOUPE India 2026. The lineup covers offline proofing before production and automated defect detection during printing.
Featured technologies will include the Guardian PQV 100% Print Inspection System and OLP offline proofing technology. BW Converting will also promote the Defender View web viewing and inspection system.
According to BW Converting, Guardian PQV inspects 100% of printed output, combining automated setup with real-time defect detection and reporting. Its Wizard-iQ interface provides centralized access to job data, sensitivity settings, lighting, barcode and color controls.
Guardian PQV’s inspection and workflow features include:
- Automated Delta-E color monitoring.
- Barcode recognition and object-based inspection.
- Live defect mapping.
- PDF-based job setup and job recognition.
- Preparation of inspection projects before production.
These functions reduce manual intervention in setting and maintaining inspection parameters. Preparing projects in advance will reduce setup work during job changes across flexographic, digital and hybrid production environments.
OLP provides offline proofing, while Defender View supports real-time web viewing and inspection. These tools complement Guardian PQV by helping operators identify print discrepancies and monitor quality at different stages of production.
“Label and packaging converters are being asked to manage increasingly complex production requirements while maintaining stringent quality standards,” said Raj Rana, regional sales manager, BW Converting. “Inspection technology has evolved to help them do that with greater automation and less operator intervention. By identifying quality issues earlier and giving operators better information about what is happening on press, these systems can help converters reduce waste and deliver more consistent output.”
LOUPE India 2026 runs Oct 29 – Nov 1 at the India Expo Centre & Mart in Greater Noida, Delhi NCR, India.
