WAN-IFRA is asking International Newspaper Color Quality Club participants for their opinion in an online-survey.

International Newspaper Color Quality Club

Currently there is a discussion among participants and members of the International Newspaper Color Quality Club (INCQC) about INCQC procedures and areas to improve.

Some participants – according to reports – are establishing extraordinary production conditions (e.g. special materials) for the days of INCQC test printing to make sure they meet the required standards. But they are not able to meet these standards during normal production times.

Based on such observations participants and members are asking to modify the contest proce-dure, so that production reality is matched in a better way. Two options were discussed, how this goal can be achieved.

We present both and ask for your comments in this survey.
