Machine Vision & Digital Print Automation
BST • OEM • HP Indigo
My journey across global R&D, machine vision, and digital print innovation

I specialize in digital print automation and machine-vision inspection — integrating advanced QA and process-control solutions for HP Indigo, BST, and OEM partners worldwide. With global experience across R&D centers, converters, and OEM environments, my work focuses on delivering predictable quality, workflow clarity, and high-speed automation.
“MIS owns the job. Prepress owns the PDF.
The DFE owns the pixels. The press owns the ink.
BST owns the truth.”
This simple framework guides how I understand quality ownership across the digital print workflow — and why inspection sits at the center of automation, data integrity, and reliable production.
In all your ways acknowledge the masters. Much of my professional inspiration is sourced in the wisdom of Miles Southworth and Dan Margulis. I met Miles during his visit to the Scitex Corp. in Israel in 1999. His book is 'Quality and Productivity In The Graphic Arts' (1989) about how to Improve Quality, Productivity, and Profit in printing. I studied under Dan in an Applied Color Theory course in 2002, his book, 'Professional Photoshop: The Classic Guide to Color Correction' is the bible of practical color theory.
