Method for detecting and transmitting process-control data before and/or during a printing operation for the production of printed products in a printing press

A method for detecting and transmitting process-control data before and/or during a printing process for producing printed products in a printing press, the method comprising:

• detecting process-control data from detection characteristics that are effectively connected to at least one printed product;
• transmitting and/or transferring data resulting from the detection characteristics to at least one processing unit arranged downstream of a location of the printing process;
• detecting product-related data within the printing process;
• using the product-related data for at least one redundant check of the data obtained from the detection characteristics, wherein during the printing process a different determination of data takes place which detects quality-related data for the printed products, wherein the quality-related data relate to the printing process;
• and
• allocating the quality-related data, which are determined during the printing process, an absolutely predominant or a quasi-predominant operative rank as compared to the data obtained from the detection characteristics or the data resulting from the redundant check.
