Abstract

This presentation focuses on the methods used to make the world's first critical color production press run that matches the output from an inkjet web press with that from an analog offset sheetfed press on plain coated offset paper. The authors will share the methods, color measurements, and statistical process analysis used in the press run, demonstrating that the consistency and stability of the inkjet digital substitute process exceeded the consistency of the offset press. Attendees will receive printed samples and a white paper containing the technical details.
