This is driven by your customers. Are they asking for some sort of certification? If not, there's little value except an internal corporate one.

Totally agree with gordo
but would like to add that full ugra certification can really improve some of the processes in printing house if you need outer consulting

Always a good idea to get your curves checked and adjusted as necessary. I have a guy come in from our ink supplier once a year and we are constantly moving our curves a little to get as close to proofs as possible.

. . .a great story-I did some consulting for a company (Branch Smith) in Texas. They won the prestigious Malcolm Baldridge Award - I believe the ONLY printing company to do so.
While there I found several issues, a big one was the press was ‘doubling’ in the Magenta Unit - I called and asked “how did you win the ‘Award’ - their reply was that “it was more about ‘paper work’ - “ Sure Was!!
Ahh but they were “certified”!
