Abstract
Nowadays, quality control is involved in all aspects of print production, from testing and control of printing inks, substrates, and other raw materials used to produce the finished printed articles to the testing and control of the main processes used before a particular job reaches the printing press, for example, process control. In the operation of a printing press, production control process such as color control depends very much on the operator’s skill and experience. However, with the development of the production control system, the conventional operator’s skill is being replaced by numerical evaluation of process and quality control, and productivity is greatly enhanced. Recently, it has been attempted to measure the whole print image and develop a production control system for the next generation based on a new concept of controlling the print color tone. This system guarantees the quality of the image of the merchandise and presents a new solution for digital system of print workflow that is rapidly advancing in the directions of print standardization and color management in magazine production. This paper will study on the basic application of the system and standard for magazine production in order to get the best result.
