The Story
When several of their larger customers wanted to “raise the quality bar” and require that they provide real-time quality control reports of the press data for their print jobs, Interco Print needed a unique solution. The only way to accomplish this was for Interco Print to measure individual press sheets throughout the press run to capture the requested data. A daunting task at best!
Many options were presented to Mike to enable him to gather, analyze and provide his customers with a comprehensive report. Initially, Interco Print started gathering the press data using a conventional hand-held densitometer. This was a painstaking process that required a dedicated resource to spend a full week manually measuring press sheets to gather all the required data before compiling a comprehensive report for his clients.
