The software is described as remarkable and acknowledged user friendly and offers complete and thorough image treatment, developed as a CTP (Computer-to-Plate) software.

• User-Friendly Interface:
  • View window for impurities (e.g., black dots, tinted fibers) marked by coloured squares.
  • Table showing all detected impurities, with possible sorting per type, size, and contrast.
  • Every impurity can be visualised with a single click.
• Conformity with Norms:
  • ISO 53501, ISO 53503, ISO 21993 (norm in progress).
  • INGEDE Meth. 2, INGEDE Meth. 4.
  • TAPPI T 563.
• Image Treatment:
  • Unwanted contrasts, shadows, and ripples can be corrected with mathematical treatment (« adaptative threshold by Gaussian approximation histogram »).
  • This provides a homogeneous measuring process, reliability, and repeatability.
• Processing Speed: Less than 10 minutes to proceed with 10 measurements (A4 sheet with 600 ppi resolution).
• Family Designation / Thresholding:
  • Dedicated particular window for desired family parameter (specific to a scanner, type of measurement, and/or type of paper).
  • Thresholding can be done according to size for each dimensional class separately; large spots with low contrast can contribute, as small spots will be rejected unless highly contrasted.
  • The « equivalent black area » mode («EBA») can be chosen according to ISO 53504 and Tappi T 563 and activates with a single click.
  • For ISO 53501 and INGEDE4, families are ready-made.
