とが行われている。In particular, the present invention relates to a method for measuring the density distribution of a printed matter to check printing between proof printing and overprinting or overprinting. After printing, the quality of the printed matter is inspected, the quality of each is compared, and if there is a difference in quality, operations such as adjusting the amount of ink are performed to obtain a stable printed matter.

要するので、印刷物の検査を容易に行うことのできる手
段が要望されている。In such cases, we generally rely on the eyes and senses of skilled technicians, but especially for color prints, it is difficult to consistently obtain high-quality prints if we rely only on such inspections. However, since it takes a large amount of time and time to train experts, there is a need for a means that can easily inspect printed materials.

ることはできない。However, inspection of only color patches is insufficient to know whether the actual design is faithfully printed6.
゜Also, the density at a specific point of a color batch or design is measured with a minute reflective spot 1, separated into each color (for example, each color density is shown as a digital value 2, and this is compared for each printed matter. In order to measure the same point on each printed matter using this method, alignment of the printed matter is troublesome and requires moving the printed matter two-dimensionally (X-Y direction), which is difficult when handling large printed matter. has drawbacks such as requiring a large moving platform. As a solution to this problem (7), a small and movable reflection density W is used to measure the density at a desired point by folding a densitometer at any location on a color patch or pattern. Although this method does not necessarily require a large moving table, it is difficult to accurately measure the same point on each printed matter, and the current situation is that areas with little density change are measured by moving in and out. In addition, even with the above-mentioned method, ill [L or measurement l ~
Since there is no C, it is insufficient to determine the quality of the entire design2.Furthermore, the density of the entire design area of the printed matter is measured,
It is also possible to calculate the integral value of the density of each color and compare the integral value of the density of each color for each printed matter. In this method, V
Although it is possible to know the integrated density value of the entire area, it is not possible to know the density state of each individual part of the design.
従って、本発明の目的は高水準の安定した品質の印刷物
