Screen printing data for AI registration and proof review
Screen printing involves a design, screen setup and printed result that can be compared through visible registration.

Screen printing involves a design, screen setup and printed result that can be compared through visible registration. Ryonet's process guide provides first-party production context. An original inspection sample can define the acceptable alignment in its own fictional work instruction. Ryonet screen-printing guide
Create a two-color geometric design owned by the contributor, a mock approved proof and photographs of paper prints. Offset one color in a controlled demonstration and include another sample with a deliberate design gap. Ask the assistant to identify the discrepancy supported by the proof. A second proof revision should move a design element, making the old reference unsuitable for that print.
Annotate color layer, registration reference, proof revision and observed location. Hold out a new shape arrangement during evaluation. Score confusing intended negative space with misregistration separately from missing an actual offset. The key should keep visible print differences distinct from speculation about the machine setting that caused them.
Use original artwork and inert demonstration materials. Customer trademarks, licensed illustrations and production-screen exports need permission. Describe the visual comparison task and independently checked examples to prospective buyers. Confirm the required image quality, reference pairing and scope before commissioning additional capture or preparing a commercial print archive.

Original Fiund exercise
A deliberate overlap versus a displaced second color
A contributor makes an original two-color geometric proof. Image coordinates use the printed ruler and left reference cross.
| Record | Source | What it records |
|---|---|---|
| R1 | Mock proof | Red and blue overlap intentionally by 2 mm. Both reference crosses share x=0. |
| R2 | Printed sample | Red cross x=0; blue cross x=1 mm. Shapes overlap by 1 mm. |
| R3 | Inspection note | Blue moves right in the image frame; the ruler is legible. |
| R4 | Scope | No production tolerance provided. |
Question for the model
How should the reviewer label the overlap and registration?
Show the reference answer and checks
The 2 mm overlap in R1 is intentional. R2–R3 show the blue reference displaced 1 mm to the right while red stays at zero, with a 1 mm observed overlap. Document the registration discrepancy against the proof; R4 precludes a pass/fail grade.
- Calling every overlap a misprint
- Reporting the observed overlap as the offset without using reference crosses
Fields to preserve
- color_pass
- Identifies each independently positioned layer
- cross_offset
- Compares alignment against the proof reference
- intended_overlap
- Distinguishes design from displacement
Test another case
Shift both reference crosses equally relative to the paper edge and keep them aligned to each other; separate whole-print placement from inter-color registration.
Use owned imagery and paper samples only; no customer logos or industrial settings.

Describe the sources you control, the task they could support and what has already been checked. Use the existing-data assessment for an archive or the collection brief for a new recording project. The contributor agreement defines Fiund’s licensing authority and compensation. A guide or fictional exercise does not establish an accepted collection or a sale.
