  • Publication number: 20240095904
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: compare reference image data serving as a reference for inspection with inspection-target image data expressing an inspection target and identify a coordinate region including a difference between the reference image data and the inspection-target image data as a defective region; and store a satisfactory region in the reference image data and the satisfactory region in the inspection-target image data in a low volume format with a low data volume into a memory; and store the defective region in the reference image data and the defective region in the inspection-target image data in a high image quality format with a large data volume and high image quality, as compared with the low volume format, into the memory, the satisfactory region being a region other than the defective region.

  • Publication number: 20240094138
    Abstract: A printed-matter inspection system includes a processor that inspects printed matter, and a display device that displays a result of the inspection. The processor is configured to: compare a scanned image with a reference image of an inspection-target page of the printed matter to perform inspection for at least one defect that is present in the scanned image, the scanned image being obtained by scanning the inspection-target page; and obtain information about post-processing that is to be performed on the printed matter, and, on the basis of the information about the post-processing, display, on the display device, the at least one defect in association with at least one simulated image of the printed matter obtained after the post-processing.

  • Patent number: 11797239
    Abstract: A print controller includes a first print command unit, an output command unit, and a second print command unit. The first print command unit prints multiple page images onto multiple printing media in either one of a first sequence, in which the page images are printed starting from a leading page image toward a final page image, and a second sequence, in which the page images are printed starting from the final page image toward the leading page image. The output command unit gives a command for outputting the printing media to an output destination of a printing apparatus in a state where a printed face of each printing medium faces upward. The second print command unit gives a command for further printing the page images onto the printing media, which are fed to a feed destination of the printing apparatus while being kept in the upward-facing output state in the output destination, such that the printing is performed in the other one of the first sequence and the second sequence.

  • Publication number: 20230297297
    Abstract: A printed material inspection system includes a processor configured to inspect a quality of a printed material; and a display that displays a result of the inspection. The processor is configured to: by reading and executing a program, compare a scanned image obtained by scanning an inspection target page of the printed material, out of pages forming a job, with a reference image created based on rasterize data of the inspection target page and perform an inspection of whether or not a first defect is present in the scanned image at a first inspection level, which is a preset initial level or a level set by a user; automatically perform an inspection of whether or not a second defect is present in the scanned image at a second inspection level that is different from the first inspection level; and display the first defect and the second defect on the display in such a manner that the first defect and the second defect are able to be distinguished from each other.

  • Publication number: 20230269333
    Abstract: A printed-matter inspection system includes a processor for evaluating quality of printed matter, and a display apparatus. The processor is configured, by reading a program for execution, to: for each of multiple pages in a job, if the page is an inspection target, compare, for inspection, a scanned image with a reference image, the scanned image being obtained through scanning of printed matter in the page, the reference image being generated by using rasterized data for the page; and, in display of the result of the inspection on the display apparatus, display the scanned image for the page that is an inspection target, and display, for a page that is not an inspection target, a dummy page and information indicating that the page is not an inspection target, the dummy page being a substitute of the scanned image.
