Patent ID: 8644618

Claim:
A system for automatically evaluating printed line weights in an image composition, the system comprising: one or more processors; a memory operatively coupled to the one or more processors, the memory comprising computer program instructions executable by the one or more processors for performing the steps of: receiving the image composition; if necessary, converting the image composition to a pixel format image composition; determining a number of horizontal rows of pixels; determining a number of vertical rows of pixels; determining the number of positive pixels in each of the horizontal rows; determining the number of positive pixels in each of the vertical rows; calculating an actual size of a pixel; multiplying the actual size of a pixel by the number of positive pixels in each of the horizontal rows and each of the vertical rows to determine a positive line weight of each of the horizontal rows and each of the vertical rows, wherein positive line weight is the thickness of a printed line or element; receiving a predetermined minimum permissible positive line weight for the image composition; and comparing the positive line weight of each of the horizontal rows and each of the vertical rows to the predetermined minimum permissible positive line weight.
