Abstract

The metrics and parameters used by print suppliers to ensure quality and process control are often mysterious and impenetrable to the uninitiated. Printers wishing to ensure a buyer the quality of a job is acceptable are faced with explaining concepts such as tone value increase or ΔE. There is a way to simplify this communication and combine most print quality metrics into an easy-to-understand single number. This paper will lay out the case for how this can be done.
