Hi all,
We do large format printing up to 59"x81" sheets and we ship on anywhere from 11"x17" to 59"x80" pallets. We have been having difficulty confirming how many sheets are actually shipping on those pallets. We have been contemplating weighing a sample 100 sheets and then weighing the pallets. There's a lot of labor involved in that process and it's not perfect. We have also been toying with micrometers to measure a sample number of sheets and then measure the entire pallet. We're still working on that one. What methods do other printers use for this issue? The counters on the press just don't tell the whole story. I guess because of press pulls and the like.
Thanks,
Ed
