It is imperative that output devices, measurement instruments and light booths should be proactively checked to ensure the devices are operating as expected in order to minimize any waste due to changes in the process. Printers need to transition from Graphic Arts companies to Print manufacturers which eliminates a "break/fix mentality," where the operators just run until something breaks before they fix it.

This transition moves to a proactive assessment process where instead of never sending instruments back to factory, or blindly changing light bulbs once a year, this process has operators checking their devices regularly (once a week/month/quarter) to know that devices are operating correctly. If printers are not uploading data, the operator and manager will be notified that no data has been uploaded within the allocated amount of time.
