Publishers Press--A ColorSync Pioneer

Easy Implementation
Since Publishers already had extensive quality control inspection steps in place, the implementation was relatively easy. According to Bobby Miller, prepress manager at Shepherdsville, preparing for the audit process was not that difficult.

"We were already doing most of the things required to pass the registry," Miller explains. "Most of the steps in the workflow use targets and check for calibration. The only thing we may not have done well is document the results. For example, every Monday we run a target and test our traditional, film-based proofs. In the past, we would take this printed target and put it away in a file. The audit, however, requires better documentation of our checks. We have since added a database of this information for additional statistical process control efforts."
