standard of quality. This quality standard should be aimed at producing negatives, transparencies, and prints to please the most demanding and critical customer. This standard must be flexible enough to allow for improvement, whenever possible. However, it must resist a compromise of poor quality. Once that high-quality standard is established, you can maintain it through an exacting and practical method of quality assurance. consistently of high quality, whether it be a negative, print, transparency, or other form. The quality of these products is determined by three factors, each having a number of variables. These factors are human, chemical, and mechanical. The human factors include the personnel involved in photography, photographic development and/or printing, as well as those photographers who work directly in the quality assurance section of an imaging facility. Chemical factors include all chemicals and solutions used to process and print negatives, positives (viewing and develop and/or print film and subsequent may simply be a set of standard high-quality negatives, prints, or transparencies with which production results are compared visually. Although this is not a very reliable system, it works well aboard volume of production is performed daily. A than no program, but it cannot take the place of an objective program. The visual-comparison method is very subjective and has limited accuracy. system. In quality assurance there are three basic specified standards of quality are being maintained. identified and eliminated from the photo- graphic procedures. product when potential problems are detected early. If a defective camera is allowing light to fog film, the defect should be discovered after the negative is processed (if not sooner). Certainly, it is a waste of time and material to make prints from such negatives if the photograph must be reshot. In this chapter, several quality assurance procedures that can improve the product are discussed. production of high-quality photographic products requires control over all factors that affect film or paper. Film exposure and processing are the two most important factors. Negatives or transparencies that are not exposed correctly and processed uniformly may have density differences (contrast) that are not within acceptable limits. Such negatives or transparencies cannot be printed successfully. Correct exposure and film processing have a direct and positive bearing on both prints and projected image quality. Good- quality negatives and transparencies also help cut operating costs by reducing waste due to retakes or replenishment, processing times, temperatures, recommendations are followed in your imaging facility, you should systematically monitor the photographic process.
