An automated computer-implemented scheme is provided to compare a job quote for a print job with production data for a print job that is related to the job quote. The job quote is stored in an electronic file and contains a plurality of estimate-related specifications. The production data is stored in an electronic document. In the scheme, estimate-related specifications of the job quote file are entered into a comparison engine. The estimate-related specifications include the type of printing production equipment being used for the print job. The production data file is analyzed to determine its actual print job specifications, and the actual print job specifications are then entered into the comparison engine. Then, the comparison engine compares the estimate-related specifications to the actual print job specifications, and outputs any discrepancies therebetween. Each type of printing production equipment includes a set of optimum performance parameters. The comparison engine also compares the actual print job specifications to the optimum performance parameters or to a range of optimum performance parameters for the entered printing production equipment, and outputs any actual print job specifications that are not optimum or are not in the optimum range for the entered printing production equipment. Actual print job specifications are also compared to the capabilities of the entered printing production equipment, and the comparison engine outputs any actual print job specifications that are not capable of being met by the entered printing production equipment. |
