Evaluation of Quality for Ink-Jet Printing Based on Capturing Measurement and Control Elements by CCD

Abstract:

with the rapid development of digital printing, the method and standard of quality detection for digital printing become focus of research. The main work and innovations in this paper include: ①Computer image analysis method was applied to ink-jet printing quality detection for the first time; ②Compared with traditional printing quality test, ink dot, line, color patch and MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) were selected as measurement and control elements. And the test proofs for detecting printing quality were designed; ③The detection algorithm and the overall detection process were put forward in this paper. The result of the experiment demonstrates: the detection method based on capturing measurement and control elements by CCD can accurately accomplish the objective quality evaluation for ink-jet printing. Detection method of print was improved to extend the scope of detection by this research, which could be generalized as a standard method for the detection of ink-jet printing quality.
