Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for quantitative and qualitative evaluation of laser printed samples, the method comprising the following steps: a) providing (S1) a laser printed sample, b) capturing (S2) a digital raster image of the laser printed part of the laser printed sample and thereon providing digital image information that constitutes the digital raster image, c) identifying (S3) at least one distinct part within the digital image information, d) obtaining at least one image histogram for the identified at least one distinct part of the digital image information, e) fitting (S4) a probability density function on the obtained at least one image histogram, and f) determining (S5) at least one parameter of the probability density function.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film with improved breakdown strength and to a capacitor comprising an insulation film comprising a layer of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film of the present invention. The present invention is further directed to a process for producing a biaxially oriented polypropylene film. Finally, the present invention is further directed to the use of a biaxially oriented polypropylene film of the present invention as layer of an insulation film of a capacitor. The BOPP film comprises a polypropylene composition, wherein the polypropylene composition comprises a high isotactic homopolymer of propylene and a polymeric ?-nucleating agent. The BOPP film has a dielectric breakdown field strength Eb63.2 of at least 595 kV/mm.
