24 A ) ISO 12647/3 Dot gain and grey balance values are informative only So the most critical parts of IFRA26; ISO color coordinates ( La*b* values ) TVI dot gain curve 24

25 A ) ISO 12647/3 ISO color coordinates density ISO Lab (IFRA 26) measuring mod : ISO-Check means decrease the ink

26 A ) ISO 12647/3 ISO color coordinates

28 A ) ISO 12647/3 ISO color coordinates While using ISO Lab measurement mode there is a difficulty Always black backing should be used, but it isn t practical. So what? There can be any way to use it without black backing? 28

29 A ) ISO 12647/3 ISO color coordinates First : determine perfect dots in IFRA26 Second: measure Lab with no black backing and look at the differences Only yellow b* value changed

30 A ) ISO 12647/3 ISO color coordinates ISO color coordinates You can put your new referance values ISO-Chek mod ISO Lab values has already loaded ColorScale mod for new ref. values

31 A ) ISO 12647/3 Dot gain Dot gain The most tone value increase is between % area

32 A ) ISO 12647/3 Dot gain old.. new.. 4,5 mm 3 mm

41 The most tone value increase value of each color is stored in RIP for compensation

42 For consistency in Printing quality Plate related quality control jobs are also crucial in daily production weekly, monthly, & when necessary Check and control Calibrate 42

43 Daily Plate Checking Applied dot gains Plate + Press only Plate Plate is taken before P&B machine for measurement. Only %2, %98 and % 50 tone values are measured

44 Weekly Plate Calibration Every week a test plate which has a plate scale job on. produced Plate Scale /25 44

45 tone value increase values of each color are stored in RIP for compensation

46 B Video-2 : Printing Defects Checking While the Q. Expert evaluates and records the print defects to ERP

47 B Printing Defects Checking While describing defects names INCQC defects table is used in INCQC There were 28 different defects name

48 B Printing Defects Checking DEFECTS INCQC points PAGES

49 Printing Quality Report Main target: Solve mains Notice news

50 B Printing Defects Checking Point are given as ; 3 Huge 2 Standard 1 Small Later, with experiences it reached 57 50

51 C Consumabels Reporting To prepare a purchasable products list for our purchasing department. Types of quality test : Start-up tests Continuity test START UP test levels : Beginning, Middle and Long term

52 Quality Test Request is evaluated for convenience If everything is OK, it is converted into Quality Orders for printing plants In the order, the amount of consumable needed for test is also given 52

53 Point are given as ; 3 Huge 2 Standard 1 Small 53

54 For different consumables there are different number of criteria Ex: criteria for cleaning agent 54

55 Continuity Test (Automatically produced Quality Orders) every month automatically produced by ERP

56 Quality Experts give their records

57 Printing plant /- ifra reel code- brand name of newsprint / Newsprint machine number

58 Ink and water adjustments Register and tension control Reel Stand *All criterions and weights described by our personals; *Each area is filled by its related personnel Cleaning
