All pressroom operators I spoke to hold different opinions on when best to
calibrate. Some argue that it's best to do so under "normal" wear and tear
whereas others argue that it's best to do so right after the press has
undergone an annual kind of maintenance, bearers have been adjusted and so
on. The whole purpose of calibration is not to look good on a certificate to
IDEAlliance or ISO, that would be futile, but to establish a workable
baseline of quality expectation for the pressroom to hold over time. That,
to me, is sensible. But I realize it is getting closer into pressroom
policies and some companies rather loose pressroom policies and like to keep
it that way. So back to industrial organization and management 101.
