BERTL evaluates the output of several “test targets” in order to determine image quality. Following are descriptions of key elements of image quality. Note the numbered examples on each of the test targets shown in the right column.

Office Color Image Quality

1.Density of Solid Areas - Better contrast; more vivid overall images

2.Line Work - Better production of lines and text

3.Halftones - Better production of photographic and screened images

4.Negative/Positive - Better production of fine detail

5.Flesh tones - Better production of portraits

6.Banding - Better solid and dithered fill

7.Low Contrast - Better production of dark images

8.Saturation - Better production of bright colors

9.Caste – Better color fidelity

10.Fine Detail – Better reproduction of fine details

BERTL uses ImageExpert printer test targets for the evaluation of printed image quality. BERTL technicians’ measure image density and evaluate the device’s ability to produce a full range of halftones and various sizes of negative/positive text, dots and lines in each primary printing color (CYMK).
