ABSTRACT:
On a measuring table (1), a bridge (2) extends over a printed sheet (5) to be measured. A measuring carriage (3) carrying a three color-simultaneous measuring head is arranged on the bridge (2) for linear movement in a back-and-forth manner along a desired path on the printed sheet. For control of the movement of the measuring head during measuring runs and for the evaluation of the measured data, a computer (7) with an integrated image display terminal and a processor system (6) controlled by the computer, is provided with the necessary interfaces. The analysis of a color measuring strip (MS) located along the desired path on the printed sheet is effected in two phases. In a first, so-called recognition run the measuring strip is scanned stepwise with high resolution in all three color channels, for the purpose of an analysis of its configuration. By means of flat locations in the density variations, effective positions (e.g., the centers) in the measuring fields are determined as possible measuring positions for subsequent measuring runs. During the measuring runs the measuring strip is measured only at the measuring positions determined during the recognition and the measured data obtained in this manner are transmitted for processing and/or display to the computer (7). By the division of the measurements into a recognition and a measuring run, coupled with the determination of measuring positions by means of flat locations in the density variations, a practically completely automatic evaluation of the color measuring strips independently of their configuration and without the need of prior knowledge of the strips by the apparatus, is rendered possible.
