Abstract

Due to technological advancements and globalization, technically perfect, aesthetically attractive, quality products are available in market. To meet expectations of quality and survive global competition, the World Class Manufacturing (WCM) approach is imperative. The small and medium scale printing industries (SMPI) should also be world class, as they are directly related to advertising, packagings and newspaper industries. Printing is the process of uncertainty. Minute change in the process parameters like ink properties, paper quality, machine performance and operator skills may cause drastic variation in print quality. In this paper an attempt is made to experimentally investigate the trend of variation of print quality parameters to control the process variation and modification suggested in the machine to control the quality.
