- Description
- This synopsis is issued for informational and planning purposes only. The U.S. Government Printing Office has a requirement to procure a full sheet inspection system. This inspection system shall provide for forensic level examination of security print work and handle sheets of printed material that vary in size from a minimum of 17 X 22 inches, up to a maximum of 28 inches X 40 inches. The stock to be printed shall range from.003 inches to.018 inches in thickness and the device will be capable of reading data points printed on various substrates. The system will be used in a production environment to analyze press sheets on a sampling basis for the purpose of process control and quality management. The control software provides feedback to the press operator in real time and off-line statistical quality information and analysis for production management. The system is fully programmable for different sheet designs. The system shall be suitable for all types of printing technologies including digital, offset, screen printing, letterpress, etc. The system will be optimized for ease-of-use and minimum space requirements. The control software is PC based. The software architecture must be designed for ease of integration for future upgrades. The system and software is capable of analyzing any printed design, including security printing. The programming of a new test sequence provides for ease of use by the operator. The analytical function for objective print quality analysis shall be sophisticated enough to provide for a wide range of image analysis functions allowing for basic or advanced analyses such as: density, color, line and text quality, micro-text, barcode quality, dot gain, bleed, inter-color bleed, trapping, color registration, graininess, mottle, banding, contamination, UV fluorescence, etc... The analytical functions are based on ISO and industry quality measurement standards, wherever appropriate and available. The data gained from these analyses are stored in a local database for reporting and archival purposes. Process control and measurement results are to be reported and Pass-Fail indicated to the operator in real time. Statistical reports, including process control charts, must be provided to the quality management team. The response date to this notice is August 27, 2010.
