have recently developed a case based reasoning system for offset print quality control.

Developments in this area usually concern creation of print quality test pages (Jang, Chen, Allebach, & Chiu, 2004), simulation of the most common print quality defects (Jang & Allebach, 2005 Kowalczyk & Trksak, 1998), inspection of one or several print quality attributes, such as the actual size and quality of printed dots (Antoine, Lloyd, & Antoine, 2001 Bergman, Verikas, & Bacauskiene, 2005 Chuang & Lai, 1997), mottling (Sadovnikov & Lensu, 2007 Sadovnikov et al., 2005), CCD camera-based estimation of ink density (Brydges, Deppner, Kunzli, Heuberger, & Hersch, 1998 Verikas & Bacauskiene, 2008), automatic detection and classification of various printing defects (Perner, 1994), print graininess (Trepanier, Jordan, & Nguyen, 1998). Since the manual procedures are tedious, time consuming, and the results are subjective as they depend on personal skills and mood, automated printing quality inspection systems are highly appreciated.
