Who's ready for Loupe Americas?

We're counting down the days until we head to Rosemont, where Provident will be showcasing both their manufactured line of doctor blades AND end seals with the Anderson & Vreeland Inc team at Booth 428.

The most expensive print defect is often the one you don't catch until it's too late.

Defect flagging helps operators quickly identify print issues before they continue downstream, reducing waste, minimizing rework, and keeping production moving.

Provident's defect flagging solutions, powered by the Novation, Inc. AF3 WebFlagger, are designed to integrate seamlessly into today's high-speed pressrooms.
