Abstract
In this paper a framework for a quality assurance for an offset printing is developed. This problem comes directly from the printing industry where many companies are struggling with more and more demanding market. The customersÂ’ expectations are threefold: good quality, short lead times and low prices. This cause that printers have to pay more attention to shortening of make-ready times, be in concordance with ISO 12647-2 and to shorten a small adjustment times on a printing machines. The developed framework presents an integrated approach to control a quality parameters of a printout on an offset printing machine and enables to: store data for testing quality of printout according to ISO norms, detect a quality flaws, aid an machine operators to solve majority of quality concerned problems on the machine and develop amendments for a typical setup parameters in order to shorten make-ready times.
