The goal of RIT’s Print Standards Audit (PSA) Survey is to capture the impact of standards and certification on printing operations around the world. Today, the survey is well on its way to fulfilling this goal.
The survey consists of two parts: (1) a 15 minute Internet survey to collect information on the practices printers use and (2) a test from that printers can print to collect information on the results they achieve. Every printer who submits a test form receives a report of the results for his or her firm (individual results are confidential and protected from disclosure to anyone other than the firm submitting the data.) In addition, at the end of the survey, RIT will publish summary results so that printers who participated in the survey can see how their results compared to a much larger population.
The survey was launched in early May, and after 4 weeks of activity:
- 136 printers have registered for the survey (80% US, 20% International including Spain, Canada, China, Denmark, Mexico, Malaysia, Japan, etc).
- Half of the registrants have downloaded the test form after completing the internet survey.
- Five companies have organized print trials and returned the printed forms for analysis.
- With four more weeks to go, we’re looking for more printers to take the survey and submit press sheets from around the world. Access the survey and test form download by clicking on this link, http://printlab.rit.edu/psa/
