Application of Information Theory to Characterize Print Quality, 1991 Coating Conference Proceedings

The paper deals with the use of information capacity as a figure of merit in printing quality. Information capacity is defined as the maximum value of information theoretical entropy. Measuring procedures are presented for the determination of information capacity of micro scale details, of halftones and of colour. Some examples are shown. The procedures can be implemented on any image analyzing system.

The feasibility of the information capacity concept is assessed. It is concluded that the approach is practical when overall comparisons of performance are being made between different choices of the materials, such as the paper and ink, or between different processes or process conditions.
