Quality Printing--Handling it Right
February 1, 2004

Proper web guiding, tension, and register control are basic ingredients needed for good print quality results. PRINT REGISTRATION IS one of the first things packagePRINTING's Excellence Awards judges inspect when assessing the print quality of contest entries. For our expert panel, it's an easy variable to assess, and is used as an initial culling point to "separate the men from the boys." Entries will not contend for a first-place finish if they are not produced with good print registration. This is clearly understood in the industry, but not everyone pays enough attention to some of the web-handling issues that directly impact registration, says Henry

Experts debate the role of electronic line shafts in register control. By Susan Friedman Earth-shattering advances, break-through innovations? Well, not exactly. Developments on the register control front are a little more low-key at the moment. "Not a lot has happened [recently in register controls], other than improvements in human-machine interface to make life easier," notes Jack Woolley, president of PC Industries. "Refinements will be subtle, small, and ongoing." However—if the focus is expanded to include progressions in press motion control systems, specifically the electronic line shaft and its ultimate implications for register control, the discussion becomes a little more animated. Some suppliers believe electronic
