Abstract

We explore two recent methods for measuring the Modeling Transfer Function of a printing system¹². We investigate the dependency on the amplitude when using the sinusoidal patches of the method proposed in¹ and show that for too small amplitudes the measurement of the MTF is not trustworthy. For the method proposed in² we discuss the underlying theory and in particular the use of a significance test for a statistical analysis. Finally we compare both methods with respect our application - the processing and printing of photographic images.
