PSO Quality Control

For the proofs and prints the same standards and tight tolerances are applied. The print matches  the proof quickly and accurately. Different printing companies work according to the same standards, achieving the same results. This is of high importance for companies  working internationally. Within a certified company, the working process aims to achieve the standard settings; therefore, a reprint will show the same result as the first print.

Since standards and controls exist in PSO certified companies, prepress and printing companies work together without problems. Customers learn that the print will look exactly like the first print and will no longer need to approve the print at the press. Each step has its aim values and tolerances and each measurement is recorded to easily find the place where the error has occurred. Results by these devices are defined by the standards which makes it simpler to evaluate new devices.

Thanks to the written SOPs each manager and employee knows what the other department does and where their difficulties lie. There will be a better understanding of problems in other departments. In addition, departments will experience an improvement communication. By making each press print according to the standard, it is easier for a company to relocate jobs between presses.The sales team is also involved in the standardizing process where they are able to communicate better with the customers. Increased sales must be the primary goal of the company. PSO sets the requirements for raw materials. The printing company continually measures values. This form a sound basis for discussion with the suppliers. By applying the Ugra PSO method, production will be under a tighter control. Since less waste will be produced, there will be a greater contribution towards environmentally friendly production; thus saving limited and valuable resources.
