Abstract
The quality of processed or printed sheets is assessed while the sheets are supported on the periphery of a drum. The surface of each drum is provided with sheet leading and trailing end gripper systems which are circumferentially, and axially shiftable with respect to each other. Each sheet to be inspected is stretched tightly on the periphery of its supporting drum before the quality of the printing or other processing done to the sheet is assessed.
