Abstract
A solution for evaluating a printing configuration for an electronic document in which one or more presentation attributes of a physical reproduction (e.g., a printed copy) of the electronic document are considered. A perceived quality of the physical reproduction of the electronic document can be determined using a set of properties of the electronic document and the one or more presentation attributes. The perceived quality can be utilized in various ways as part of a printing process.
Claims21
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining, on a computer system including at least one computing device, at least one presentation attribute of a physical reproduction of an electronic document, wherein the at least one presentation attribute corresponds to an intended manner of presenting the physical reproduction of the electronic document to an observer;
- and
- determining, by the computer system, a perceived quality for the physical reproduction of the electronic document in response to obtaining the at least one presentation attribute, wherein the determining includes the computer system analyzing an ability of the observer to distinguish a plurality of features present in the physical reproduction when presented in the intended manner based on at least one of a set of electronic document properties corresponding to the electronic document and the at least one presentation attribute.
A computer system comprising:
- a component for evaluating a printing configuration for an electronic document by performing a method of:
- obtaining at least one presentation attribute of a physical reproduction of the electronic document, wherein the at least one presentation attribute corresponds to an intended manner of presenting the physical reproduction of the electronic document to an observer;
- and
- determining a perceived quality for the physical reproduction of the electronic document in response to obtaining the at least one presentation attribute, wherein the determining includes the component analyzing an ability of the observer to distinguish a plurality of features present in the physical reproduction when presented in the intended manner based on at least one of a set of electronic document properties corresponding to the electronic document and the at least one presentation attribute.
A computer program comprising program code stored on at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium, which when executed, enables a computer system to implement a method of evaluating a printing configuration for an electronic document, the method comprising:
- obtaining at least one presentation attribute of a physical reproduction of the electronic document, wherein the at least one presentation attribute corresponds to an intended manner of presenting the physical reproduction of the electronic document to an observer;
- and
- determining a perceived quality for the physical reproduction of the electronic document in response to obtaining the at least one presentation attribute, wherein the determining includes the computer system analyzing an ability of the observer to distinguish a plurality of features present in the physical reproduction when presented in the intended manner based on at least one of a set of electronic document properties corresponding to the electronic document and the at least one presentation attribute.
