QC = Quality Check or Quality Control
Essentially, a QC'er (senior / experienced staff member) is double checking to see if the entire scanlation is up to their quality standards. A few of the items that they're checking involve:
- Translation accuracy (might involve jargon / history research) & uniformity of translations across the whole story (some groups have different translators translate things differently).
- RAW pages were edited properly (redraw split pages, no smudges, proper B&W saturation, etc.)
- Text properly typeset & uniform font.
So once a chapter has been QC'ed, then it's ready for release. A thing to note is that many speed subbers / scanlators don't QC as well or at all, in order to release their work earlier.
There's also QC'ing and QC'ed.
