Measurement-based objective metric for printer resolution

There are many possible definitions for the printer resolution because it could include various aspects of exact reproduction of graphic data. This study proposes a metric to evaluate the quality on the resolution of the laser printer in an objective way with a scanner system. First, various classic methods for describing resolution quality are surveyed and their weak points are shown. Second, the needed properties of the method to realize the ideal evaluation system are shown. Third, the calclation method for the printer resolution metric is described in detail. Finally, the experimental results of this method demonstrate the validity of the proposed metric.
