Methods, apparatuses, and systems for scanning pre-printed print media to verify printed image and improving print quality

A method for printing an image on print media with a printer, the method comprising:

• receiving a reference image from print data for printing the image on the print media;
• obtaining a captured image of the print media subsequent to the image being printed on the print media by the printer;
• determining whether the captured image conforms to the reference image based at least in part on determining whether the captured image comprises at least one distortion that is not present in the reference image;
• and
• in response to determining that the captured image does not conform to the reference image and comprises the at least one distortion, modifying the print data prior to printing the image on a succeeding print media after the print media.
