With the new European requirement for braille on new packaging for pharmaceuticals coming into operation from last October there has been an added burden on the producers and users of this packaging.

With the new European requirement for braille on new packaging for pharmaceuticals coming into operation from last October there has been an added burden on the producers and users of this packaging to ensure that the braille is correct, and with full implementation scheduled for 2010 there will be an increasing need to verify this as well as the conventional printed texts DVS Quality Solutions now offers a total package of electronic proof reading solutions that will take significant amounts of time out of the proofreading process as well as reduce the possibility of recalls from incorrectly printed and embossed packaging

The Pharma-PrintControl, developed by Krauss Software of Germany is a highly functional Quality control tool that will check text, graphics and braille against a master PDF file.

The system can even be used to check multiple image composite sheets against a single master regardless of orientation and nesting.

The systems are available from A3 up to A2 incorporating Braille check and up to A0 for non-braille check.

For verification of texts in electronic files DVS also offers the TVT (Text Verification Toll) from Schlafender Hase of Germany.

This software allows the inspection of Word, RTF and PDF files where the same text has been transferred or flowed into an artwork file.

It highlights any differences between the files and allows the operator to accept or reject the differences.

Braille is also included in the inspection and the system decodes the braille so that the exact wording of any differences is apparent.

This product is widely used in the regulatory and artwork departments of Pharmaceutical companies across Europe.
