The Print Quality Toolkit: An integrated print quality assessment tool

The Print Quality Toolkit is a system for printing, scanning, and evaluatin g a test target on a workstation or personal computer using image processin g techniques for the purpose of high-speed, objective, and mostly automated print quality assessment. The metric set used for this assessment is speci fied in the ISO/IEC document 13660, that, in turn, was primarily derived fr om the literature on print quality. As examples of potential applications f or the system, we investigate the dependence of these metrics on scan resol ution, line width, paper type, and printer technology.
