Scope

This practice may be used to determine the image quality of text, line- and solid-fill images produced by ink jet printers.

This practice may be used to evaluate the image quality of black, process-black and primary ink, single-color images produced by ink jet printers.

This practice may be used to evaluate the interaction between ink(s) and various substrate types as it relates to image quality.

This procedure may be used for substrate (for example, paper, paperboard, film, labels, fabric, envelopes), printer and ink specifications-acceptance, research and product development.

Although this practice is suitable for the evaluation of all printer, ink and substrate combinations, it is not intended for use in the evaluation of color fidelity or continuous-tones.

1.1 This practice describes a procedure that can be used to determine the image quality of text, line- and solid-fill images produced by ink jet printers.

1.2 This practice can be used to evaluate black, process-black and primary ink, single-color images produced by ink jet printers.

1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine limitations prior to use.
