A control scale is a set of control elements (fields, test objects) on a print that allows to evaluate its quality. In doing so, both individual defects arising from certain defects in the printing process and their overall effect are controlled.

This is me, Sergey Voropay, in a Heidelberg demo hall in Moscow on 25 of June, 1998. Exactly 26 years ago. I'm already working for Heidelberg, but still here for another session at the University of Printing.
I started to study printing in 1989, and had time to catch up with letterpress printing with its linotypes and flatbed printing machines with manual overlays. I studied at Minsk Vocational School No. 32 on Vera Khoruzhaya Street. 7 in Minsk. In those times there was no talk about any adequate quality control of the impression at all.
