Production Printing Quality Assurance

Production Printing Quality Assurance: Overview

Producing print is similar to producing any good - quality is very important. When one job has tens of thousands of pages, discovering an error too late can be very costly. Not discovering it at all, and having customers discover it instead, can be even worse.

Production Printing Quality Assurance: Challenges

As an organization, you have no choice but to change your documents from time to time. The challenge is how to ensure that the only changes that are the ones you intended to make and not other, unexpected ones.

Production Printing Quality Assurance: Barr Systems Solution

Our solution for this unavoidable challenge is StreamTracer. If you are currently relying on the human eye to discover differences between print file versions, you have to give StreamTracer a try! This product automates the process and discovers differences that even the human eye would miss.

All you have to do, is open both versions of the print file in StreamTracer. The product will immediately highlight all the differences, in a WYSIWIG environment. Obviously, some of the differences will be as a result of intended changes. You will be able to mark those as such, which means StreamTracer will only show you those unintended differences you worry about. This is truly the only way to make sure the document you are printing contains exactly what it should contain and nothing else!
