Applications Notes: Print Quality
Thermal / RibbonThermal 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.  |
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. |
MTF, CTF, and Contrast Measurements: This application note describes PQ analysis for MTF (Modulation Tranfer 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. |
