  • Publication number: 20150131116
    Abstract: The present invention provides an inspection apparatus including a pause control unit which, when a defect is detected in a page of a printed product while the printed product is continuously printed, causes printing to pause, a predictor unit which, when printing is paused, predicts whether a defect will be detected again in restarting printing by using a master image of a not-yet-printed page, a master image of the defect-detected page, and a predetermined defect prediction criterion, and a resumption control unit which permits to restart printing the defect-detected page and pages following the defect-detected page if the predictor unit predicts that a defect will not be detected again in restarting printing, and prohibits from restarting printing if the predictor unit predicts that a defect will be detected again.
