Abstract
A device and method for use with an image recording device. The device having a background target and a first surface including the background target recessed therein. The device further including a substrate stabilizer configured to move a substrate having an image printed therein in closer proximity to the background target and below the first surface when activated.
Claims17
A method for measuring a transitive substrate, the method comprising:
- positioning a background target mounted in a first surface of a substrate stabilizer at a non-imaging distance below a continuous transitive substrate,
- wherein the background target is positioned below a portion of the transitive substrate that is less than the whole of the transitive substrate;
- further wherein the non-imaging distance is greater than 0.290 inches;
- actuating the substrate stabilizer to reposition the portion of the transitive substrate to an imaging distance and maintain the transitive substrate within a distance of no more than about 0.290 inches of the background target, wherein the transitive substrate is not in continuous contact with the background target;
- and
- imaging the transitive substrate with an image recording device while the substrate stabilizer is actuated.
