Print Registration Verification Log

Inspection log for verifying print registration during a press run. Records measured color-to-color alignment against control marks and documents whether registration remains within the agreed tolerance throughout production.

Job and Run Identification

• Job number or work order recorded
  Record the unique job, work order, or batch identifier for the print run.
• Press, line, or device identified
  Identify the press or output device used for this run.
• Date and time of registration check
  Capture when the registration verification was performed.
• Operator or inspector name
  Name of the person performing the check.
• Approved registration tolerance documented
  Record the agreed tolerance specification for this job, such as maximum allowable misregistration.

Press Setup and Control Mark Verification

• Control marks present and legible on sample
  Verify that control marks are visible and usable for measurement.
• Registration targets or crosshairs aligned for measurement
  Confirm the marks used to evaluate alignment are present and readable.
• Substrate or sheet condition suitable for measurement
  Check that the sample is not creased, smeared, or otherwise distorted in a way that would invalidate the reading.
• Measurement method used
  Select the method used to verify registration.
• Reference sample or approved proof available
  Confirm an approved reference is available for comparison when required by the job.

Registration Measurements

• Initial registration measurement
  Record the measured color-to-color misregistration at the start of the run.
• Mid-run registration measurement
  Record the measured misregistration during production.
• Final registration measurement
  Record the measured misregistration at the end of the run or at the final check point.
• All measured values within agreed tolerance
  Confirm all recorded measurements remain within the approved registration tolerance.
• Registration drift observed during run
  Indicate whether alignment shifted over time, even if still within tolerance.

Defects and Corrective Action

• Visible color-to-color misalignment noted
  Document any visible registration issue, banding, shadowing, or color shift.
• Corrective action taken
  Describe any press adjustments, recalibration, substrate changes, or rework performed.
• Affected quantity identified
  Record the quantity of sheets, labels, or units affected by the registration issue.
• Non-conformance escalated when out of tolerance
  Confirm that any out-of-tolerance condition was escalated according to the site's quality procedure.

Disposition and Sign-off

• Run disposition
  Select the final disposition for the run or affected output.
• Inspector signature
  Signature of the person completing the verification.
• Supervisor or QA review required
  Indicate whether a supervisor or quality reviewer must approve the result.
