| Abstract: |
A procedure for producing a reference model for checking the printing quality of an image composed of at least two drawings starts with printed test sheets. The sheets are aligned so that drawings printed in a first printing are in register. The images are recorded, storing the densitometric pixel values which constitute the images in memory. The minimum value obtained is associated with each pixel and a model for the first drawing is obtained. The same procedure is followed for producing a second drawing and another model. The models thus obtained are recombined in order to form the reference model of the image to be checked.

I claim:
1. A procedure for producing a reference model, by electronic means, intended to be used for automatically checking the printing quality of an image on paper, especially for paper securities, said image being composed of drawings printed in at least two separate printing phases, which procedure comprises the following steps:
- a. a set of images (test sheets), which are completely printed by means and procedures used for long print runs, is prepared;
- b. said images are arranged so that the drawings of said images printed in a first phase are in register;
- c. while the images remain in register said images are recorded and the densitometric values of pixels constituting said images are stored in memory;
- d. the minimum value obtained from all the images of the set for each pixel location of the images of the set is associated with each pixel of a first printing phase model and the model of the drawing printed in said first printing phase is thus formed;
- e. thereafter, the images are arranged so that the drawings printed in another printing phase are put into register and steps c. and d. are repeated for all the drawings printed in the separate printing phases; and
- f. the models thus obtained are recombined in order to form the reference model of the final produced image on paper to be checked, each individual test sheet undergoes the same type and number of printing phases as the final produced image on paper to be checked.
