Method and device for controlling and regulating a digital printing process

Abstract

A method for the control or regulation of a production process in a print form-variable production device is disclosed, where the production process includes one or multiple orders and where for each of these orders corresponding product data are stored in a storage device. In an embodiment, the method includes the following steps: a. scanning a print image by a scanning device of at least one part of a substrate to produce a scanned print image; b. comparing the scanned print image with the product data stored for each of the orders and assigning an associated order and associated product data of the associated order to the scanned print image based on the comparing; c. determining subsequent control actions from the associated product data; and d. executing the subsequent control actions by the production device. A device is also disclosed to carry out the method.
