During the one-day audit in March, experts from the Swiss Center of Excellence for Media and Printing Technology (UGRA) reviewed production processes and the expertise of sales staff—both in-house and in the field—as well as prepress employees. According to Presseportal, various work steps—such as data handling and printing plate production—were evaluated, and the calibration of monitors and the quality of proofs were checked. The ISO 12647-2 standard forms the basis of the «Offset Printing Process Standard» and thus of the «Media Standard for Printing.» The goal of these standards—which are currently the subject of heated debate within the industry—is to ensure optimal collaboration between clients (agencies) and service providers (prepress and printing) in media production. ISO certification also demonstrates that a company is making sound investments in its employees, services, and products—in short, in the future.
