Image Quality Analysis
Historically, print and image quality evaluation has been hampered by reliance on subjective judgment and guesswork. But not any more. QEA has developed a full line of quantitative, reliable image analysis tools, encompassing sophisticated, fully-automated camera-based systems, automated scanner-based systems, portable hand-helds for distinctness of image (DOI) measurements, and a portable color measurement toolkit.
Every printing technology: electrophotography, inkjet, thermal, flexography and more
Applications of every kind rely on our IAS® series instruments to:
- Monitor print quality
- Analyze components
- Analyze process performance
- Eliminate guesswork
- Boost productivity
- Facilitate quick, reliable decisions
The information you need
IAS® series instruments apply the ISO-13660 international standard in quantifying a multitude of print quality attributes:
- Dots
- Lines
- Text
- Density
- Color
- Graininess
- Mottle
- Banding
- Satellites
- Background
- Ghosting
- Inter-color bleed
- ...and many more
The best tool for you
The flexibility built into IAS® tools gives you the choices you need:
- Select from bench-top or portable hand-held models
- Choose scanner-based or fully automated camera-based systems
- Define your own pass/fail criteria, or let the system apply default settings
- Choose the system that’s right for answering your image-quality questions
