If the press is in its best condition with new blankets you have a
reference baseline to return to when things go awry. You can't say
the same of "average" condition.

Subject: G7 press calibration, best press conditions or average?

We have been using the G7 method of press calibration for two
years. It has
helped us tremendously. Each time we calibrate, (we have several
presses) I
have a discussion with the press room regarding the condition of
the press.
I have always recommended that the press be in the best printing
state that
the press can possibly be in. The press room has the opinion that
the press
should be in an average state. Meaning that after press maintenance
has been
conducted, the press should be allowed to run halfway through the time
period before the next scheduled press maintenance is performed. Then
perform a G7 calibration. That way they get an "average of press
performance".
I'm well aware of the Press Operators guide to color and G7 and the
press
check list that goes with it. I've shared these documents with the
press
room.
Do any of you have an opinion on when the calibration should be
done? Also,
if it is best to calibrate soon after maintenance when the press is
printing
at it's best, how can I explain to the press room that this is the
best
press condition to calibrate using the G7 method?
Thanks,
Steve
