Graphic technology — Image quality evaluation methods for printed matter — Part 31: Evaluation of the perceived resolution of printing systems with the Contrast–Resolution chart

This document specifies the Contrast–Resolution test chart, the requirements on the printing process needed to reproduce this test chart, the required characteristics of a high resolution scanner needed to digitize the information reproduced on printed test charts, and the requirements on the interpretation of this digitized data. It also specifies the resolution-score method for evaluating the perceptual resolution of printed material using the Contrast–Resolution test chart.

The procedure specified in this document is intended for a characterization of the perceived resolution of a graphic arts production printing system using the Contrast–Resolution test chart.
