At Erik. It never hurts to have a fresh pair of eyes to review tech documents.
Gordon, I could be wrong but I think what Steve was wanting was added content, from a practical industry perspective, to the topics he outlined and not an edit of his list of topics.
IMO the use of the term "stability" is not used properly. In control theory, stability or instability are very specific issues. The offset process is a stable process. But it is not a consistent process. A stable process, if not disturbed will settle to a stable steady state condition. Then when a disturbance is applied, it will drift to another stable steady state condition. Instability is when the values being measured oscillate with increasing amplitudes or just go off the chart.
I think Steve should stick with "consistent" for a term and avoid the use of stable. Just my personal picky view.
Lastly, add detailed content, perhaps about causes. For example, litho inking system uses a reciprocal doctor and limited roller train (number, size), causing potential color variation from starvation, ghosting, rerolling, not seen in gravure and flexo because of unlimited inking supply versus demand of image carrier.
Next, define the terms, maybe with some context examples. How is consistent same/different than stable? What is a steady upward or downward tend? Do I use the term "precise" or "precision"?

Remember, my audience and scope is basic and introductory. Perhaps these conversations are too advanced already?
