Dallas, TX, October 22, 2010 -- Just this month, PrintPlace.com is able to yet again add another award to its list. Matt Louis, the Color Assurance Manager at PrintPlace.com, won the October 2010 ISO 12647 Gap Analysis Audit from KEE Consultants and sponsored by Alwan Color Expertise at the IDEAlliance G7 Summit at GraphExpo.
In layman’s terms, this award recognizes PrintPlace.com, a leading online printing company, for meeting printing standards set by the International Standards Organization. Begun in 2006, PrintPlace.com has been matching presswork with the ISO 12647-2 to provide customers with the best possible print reproduction results. This ISO standardization involves process control for offset lithographic printing, specifically for the production of half-tone color separations and proof and production prints. Go to www.iso12647standardization.com for more information.
As a G7 expert, Louis says regarding the Gap Analysis Audit award, "Printing has been priced as a commodity for the past decade, but the way we manufacture print also had to become a commodity to enable automation and scalability. We produce thousands of pages per day and we know what every page should look like in terms of CIElab and process control aimpoints without even having to visually inspect the printed images. We are excited to have won the KEE Gap Analysis Audit to obtain measurable recommendations from a recognized expert source as to how
we can improve our operation."
"We are very happy to make our Gap Analysis Audit (GAA) available for North American printers in support to the PSA initiative (Printing Standards Audit and process certification) lead in the USA by IDEAlliance® and Rochester Institute of Technology,” says Elie Khoury, founder and chair of KEE Consultants. Khoury also points out that the Gap Analysis Audit is one of the most cost-effective ways for a North American printing company that desires to print according to international standards to begin the process of preparing for the Printing Standards Audit and Process Certification.
