Method and apparatus for the capture of scanning positions in printed images

Abstract

An apparatus for capturing scanning positions in printed images avoids waste. The apparatus has a substantially plane working face for at least one master copy or part of the master copy of the printed image. The apparatus includes further a measuring device coupled to the working face for generating coordinates of positions to be marked in the master copy in accordance with a relevant point of the working face corresponding to the marked position. Further, the apparatus includes a stop device for the defined alignment of the master copy relative to the measuring device, and a computer unit for processing the data of the obtained coordinates.
