TEST & MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT
If you are in the fortunate position of having made it, stashed it away and are not tied with guarantees to the company overdraft then you probably need not bother to read any more. If you want to survive and prosper then read on.
Probably the most surprising aspect of the printing industry is that many of its practitioners don't measure any aspect of the process. How some companies have remained in business is amazing.
Why do printers think that they can “make it work”, “keep it going” and “get it out on time” and still make a profit when the process is not controlled. But we have always done it that way. “Not any more sunshine”. The hot breath of competition and alternative technologies will see to that. For screen and pad printing to continue as important aspects of printing technology they have to cast off the mantle of “Black art” and stand along side other engineering processes. An increasing number of printers are recognising the need to control the process for without controlling the process they lose control of their profitability.
