Abstract:
Provided are a printing result inspection apparatus, a method, and a program capable of determining a printing defect caused by a printing step and a printing paper defect caused by printing paper by reading the printing paper once. A printing result inspection apparatus 10 accepts designation of paper defect information used for determining a defected region through an operation unit 14. A defect determination unit 24 determines whether defected regions D10, D12, and D14 extracted from a non-image region A10 are the printing defect or the printing paper defect based on designated paper defect information, a density change amount, and a color, and an image feature amount of a defected region determined as the printing paper defect in the non-image region A10 is stored in paper defect information I10 and is accumulated in a paper defect information storage unit 30. The defect determination unit 24 performs the determination of defected regions D20 and D22 extracted from image regions A20 and A22 based on the designated paper defect information, stored paper defect information relating to printing paper P10 being inspected, and the paper defect information I10.

An image defect detection device that divides an original print image and a print image printed on the basis of the original print image into corresponding regions, acquires an image feature amount of each divided region, extracts a strength of a difference of each divided region between the original print image and the print image, calculates an image defect detection time indicating a time required to detect a defect of each divided region of the print image from the image feature amount and the strength of the difference of each divided region, calculates an expected image defect value indicating a possibility of presence of a defect in each divided region of the print image from the image feature amount and the strength of the difference of each divided region, determines an order of detection of the image defect of the divided region of the print image.
Abstract:
There is provided a platemaking method of forming relief based on relief pattern data in a printing plate to be pressed on a printing matter, and the platemaking method includes the steps of: estimating distribution of printing pressure of the printing plate pressed on the printing matter on the basis of image data; calculating an amount of correction of engraving shape data on the basis of the distribution of printing pressure; correcting the engraving shape data on the basis of the amount of correction; and acquiring exposure amount data from the engraving shape data corrected. By exposure (engraving) processing based on the exposure amount data that can be acquired in this way, it is possible to form relief in consideration of deformation of a printing plate in accordance with the distribution of printing pressure in the printing plate to favorably print and reproduce an image on a printing medium.

Abstract:
On a printing relief plate, which is produced by a printing relief plate producing apparatus and a printing relief plate producing method, convexities and detecting portions are set to be lower than a solid area of the printing relief plate. In the event that a detecting portion image and a solid area image are printed on a print medium using the printing relief plate by a printing apparatus and by carrying out a printing method, in a printing pressure determining apparatus and a printing pressure determining method, it is determined whether a printing pressure is an appropriate printing pressure or not by comparing an optical density of the detecting portion image and an optical density of the solid area image.
