Applications Notes: Print Quality
All ApplicationsInkjet Media Print Quality Analysis: This application note describes PQ analysis for inkjet media including wicking, intercolor bleed, ink coalescence, and tone reproduction.  |
Graininess Measurements on Halftones: This application note describes PQ analysis for measuring graininess in FM halftones. As an example, it shows how inkjet printers have reduced graininess. |
Thermal Transfer Ribbon Print Quality Analysis: This application note describes PQ analysis for thermal transfer print ribbons. It shows how to quantify printing in terms of "comb" effect, voids, and completeness of text. |
MTF, CTF, and Contrast Measurements: This application note describes PQ analysis for MTF (Modulation Transfer Function), CTF (Contrast Transfer Function), and Contrast. The measurement principles are described via examples with laser printers. However, the technique has application to all printing technologies. |
