The availability of simple instruments for measuring black dots trigge
red the demand by users for guarantees based on specks. This led to a
closer examination of speck removal efficiencies in terms of cells. A
method was developed making it possible to consider the cells' accepts
, black dots caught on fibres and black dots not caught on fibres. Thi
s distinction makes it possible to calculate a speck removal efficienc
y, reckoned not in relation to the totality of black dots but in relat
ion to removable black dots.
