Abstract
Image quality of hardcopy is significantly
influenced by paper properties. In this article,
two kinds of image, a hardcopy and an image
projected onto paper, are analyzed using
a function based on the Modulation Transfer
Function (MTF) of paper, and evaluated by
observer rating experiments. As a result,
good correlation was obtained between the
function values and the observer rating values.
It is shown experimentally that the reflectance
and MTF of paper are of significant importance
in the image quality of hardcopy.
