| Jul 18, 2013 at 8:09 | comment | added | Totty.js | But how do I put this on a website for example? If I just tell them is very accurate is not as strong as for example saying that the average has 300 dots per square inch and mine is 450 dpsq. Also about the colors is better to say the things in numbers as it has more impact. Something could be like we use 100 mg per square inch rather than 50 mg of the average. Attention, I'm making up those features and numbers, I don't know any way to measure the printing quality in an objective way. | |

There's good, then there is sub-par. There is no "above-average". Any printer below average doesn't last long in the industry. I wouldn't describe print services as being "better than average". I'd describe them as accurate which is what is required. | |

| Jul 17, 2013 at 20:02 | comment | added | horatio | IMO, quality printing is about how well the job matches what I gave them. If I get a job that is more intense/contrasty/etc than what I gave them, then my face quickly becomes more intense. | |
| Jul 17, 2013 at 19:45 | comment | added | DA01 | You'd measure it in the ways you describe: fidelity, color accuracy, color depth, trapping, registration, consistency, etc, etc | |
| Jul 17, 2013 at 19:24 | comment | added | Totty.js | end: tell the customer my product has more quality complementing it with the real demonstration; I expect to find less intensity and less color on lower quality. In some cases I need it on words, such as in a website, how do you tell that your prints are better than average. In this way I could tell that the average is X points and mine is Y, therefore Y > X. | |
