Print applications created by print composition tools represent a significant investment for corporations. When they are upgraded or otherwise changed, it is necessary to ensure that these changes do not affect the quality and content of printed documents. Additionally, when content, images or graphics in a document change, you need a fast application that can ensure predictable changes have occurred and that all deviations have been identified and captured.
Today, the majority of corporations are manually proof reading (visually inspecting) these valuable documents as their method of Quality Assurance (QA) for high volume, time sensitive and complex print stream output data. This manual process is arduous, complicated, time and resource intensive, error prone and costly.
Additionally, manual QA sampling of print output can have major repercussions if something is not caught, sent out to production and subsequently mailed. In some situations, organizations have halted implementing new product launches, marketing campaigns or applications because of incompatible software versions.
