though this is used in a printing context, I have found it used as a general term. I'm picking up some sense of what it is, but can't put my finger on an English translation. Here's the sentence in which it is used:***Loupe-zuivere,*** messcherp gestoken letters, feilloos sluitende kleuren en precisie-kalibratie zijn maatgevend voor een etiket dat het predikaat allerhoogste kwaliteit mag dragen.
Thanks in advance!

Comment: "Wow, how much can a silly little variation in spelling can throw a person off! Thank you very much vixen! Since I'm using precision later in the sentence, I feel this is the best choice."

precision made or precise
"loupe zuivere" means highly accurate, true, clear, precise.
Maybe "precision made" fits the bill.
However, it may mean juggling the sentence around a bit.
