Abstract

A printing press for processing sheet printing materials includes at least one printing unit, a computer and a measuring device for monitoring printing quality during a printing process. The measuring device has a sensing device for measuring by color or spectrally to register the printing material. At least one sheet-guiding element leads the sheet printing material past the sensing device. A measuring device for monitoring printing quality during a printing process in a printing press for processing sheet printing materials, is also provided.
