Abstract

Test target for determination of technical print parameters comprises a number of point clusters, that are formed from a number of adjacent image points and are printed as an identifiable print pattern on a print specimen. An Independent claim is made for a method for determining technical print parameters in which the test target is automatically recognized, measured and the required technical print parameters are calculated.
