      • Inspection is done through sampling and examining
        • 100% inspection (all units)
        • Normal inspection (uses a sample)
        • Reduced inspection (smaller sample as economy measure)
        • Computer aided inspection (CMM)
      • Testing looks at performance
        • Non destructive (until it shows signs of failing)
        • Testing to destruction (until destroyed)
    • Total quality management is the system of achieving customer satisfaction at every stage
      • All organisation members participate in culture of continuous improvement in order to gain BSI award
    • Quality control in print runs
      • Set off (when ink from one sheet smudges to next)
        • anti- set off spray

        • Colour bars and densitomer readings
      • Hickies (small areas of unwanted colour from dirt)
        • washing cylinders regularly
      • Bad register (when colours go beyond separations making blurry image)
