    Productivity is the most important issue for printing process in competing and in living together with other information media. Variety of technologies have been applied for the press to print products with high quality, in less cost, and in shorter lead time. They serve not only for increasing press speed but for stabilizing press operation to get full benefits of each automated parts. This is especially the case in high speed operation where many hidden problems easily appear. This paper describes problems and solutions in conjunction with this high speed and stable operation of the sheet fed offset press and commercial web offset press. They are classified in three groups, problems due to increased top speed, ones due to extended speed range, and ones due to others, with brief explanation and analyses.

    About ten years passed since the first print quality monitoring system was introduced. At present, there are many monitoring method in the system, however, the current system monitors print quality after printing but after folding. The future direction of the system would be seen as more integration with other system of inspection.

    Currently, digitalization of printing industry has been accelerated by computer innovations. The automated printing presses, Computer-To-Plate/Paper/Press systems and relative computerized systems are being used everywhere in this industry. Each system has possibility to improve problems of present work flow however it is making new difficult problems.

    Rotogravure printing press were started to be induced to Japanese printers around 1921 and thereafter, have been increased in supplied quantity with the developments in plastic film. With old printing presses, web tension is grauged by hand patting on web, color registrations checked by eyes at every printing station, and color matching done by experienced specialist only. Now a days, two directional color register controller, stress free tension control system and automatic unrewind & rewind splicers have been developed for stable and continuous printing in the industry. Further automation and digital control system will be accelated in the industry as counter measures against 3-K jobs (kiken, kitanai & kitsui or Danger, Dirty & Hard), employmental restructure and craftmanships.

    A segmentation-based image coding method and its application to prepress image processing to the compressed data is described. The segmentation method used here is composed of color space conversion to L* u* v* and its mapping to a characteristic space of a ellips curvature derived by the consideration on color data distribution model, and two stages of execution of ISODATA, a well known clustering technique. At the end of this process, one can get a label image that is composed of eight-bit region numbers corresponding to each location of pixel. At the stage of coding, each region is independently coded by means of three-dimensional VQ (Vector Quantization) whose components are (L* u* v*).

    The previous report treated analytical and statistical measure for image evaluation. This paper shows the synthetic measure by combined subjective and objective evaluation. The measure can be used for design of the imaging device. The new concept of term independent evaluation space of image is also suggested.
