- Abstract: The goal of the project is to design an automated system which can accurately and precisely store the gloss measurements recorded at regular space intervals for variable image (media) sizes. Gloss banding is an undesirable phenomenon causing uneven distribution of gloss resulting from uneven curing of UV inks. The print quality of Agfa's high speed UV ink jet printers is substantially degraded by gloss banding. Agfa Inc. intends to analyze gloss measurements to fully understand the phenomenon of gloss banding and improve the image quality by prevent it. The current techniques used to quantify gloss for images produced by varying machine (printer's) settings, fail to produce repeatable and accurate data. Moreover, the data collection itself is tedious process with scope of human errors. Thus, the need for an accurate and precise automatic system which requires minimal human supervision was expressed by Agfa Inc.
