Going through one of my printers Customer Expectation Documents and it references color to color registration and color consistency. Can someone explain to me what the difference of the two are?
Image Quality:
-As with any printing process, artifacts will occur. These may include fine scratches in the process direction, streaks, mottle, banding, spots, etc. For most jobs and clients, the expected level of artifacts is within the normal operational and component quality ranges of the system and will not affect the acceptability of the job. Maintenance procedures are available to mitigate these artifacts. Random artifacts will occur. Artifact-sensitive jobs should be monitored. Using products on the Recommended Media List (RML) and maintaining your environment will also help to minimize the occurrence of these artifacts.
-Color quality perception is subjective and will be affected by ambient lighting conditions. It is recommended that prints be viewed under a consistent light source, such as a D50 light booth.
-Like other color reproduction processes, there will be some variation of output quality over time. Factors contributing to this can include frequency of calibration (including calibration to the stocks being used), and xerographic components.
-Image quality is strongly influenced by paper surface structure, texture, and color. To ensure that your customers are optimally satisfied, key applications should be proofed on the Xerox Color 800/1000 Press using representative paper and reviewed by the customer.
