Image Quality
IMAGE QUALITY
BERTL evaluates the output of several "test targets" in
order
to
determine
image
descriptions of key elements of image quality. Note the
numbered examples on each of the test targets shown in
the right column.
Office Color Image Quality
1.
Density of Solid Areas - Better contrast; more vivid overall images
2.
Line Work - Better production of lines and text
3.
Halftones - Better production of photographic and screened images
4.
Negative/Positive - Better production of fine detail
Photographic Color Image Quality
5.
Flesh tones - Better production of portraits
6.
Banding - Better solid and dithered fill
7.
Low Contrast - Better production of dark images
8.
Saturation - Better production of bright colors
9.
Caste – Better color fidelity
10. Fine Detail – Better reproduction of fine details
11.

BERTL uses ImageExpert printer test targets for the evaluation of printed
image quality. BERTL technicians' measure image density and evaluate
the device's ability to produce a full range of halftones and various sizes
of negative/positive text, dots and lines in each primary printing color
(CYMK).

BERTL uses synthetic (photographic) test images obtained from ISO
International Standard 12640--Graphic Technology—Prepress digital
data exchange—CYMK Standard Color Image Data (CYMK/SCID) in
order to evaluate the ability to print photographic images.
