PRINT INSPECTION APPARATUS AND PRINT INSPECTION METHOD

摘要

A print inspection apparatus according to the present invention obtains an object for variable printing which is stored in a storage and generates a combined image by combining the obtained object. If the combined image is normally generated, the combined image is set to both of a print image and a collation image. Whereas if the combined image is not normally generated, a different image is set to each of the print image and the collation image. The print inspection apparatus generates a print product by printing the set print image. Then, the print inspection apparatus inspects the print product by comparing image data generated by reading the print product with the set collation image.

主权项

1. A print inspection apparatus which inspects a print product of variable printing, the print inspection apparatus comprising:
a combining unit configured to obtain an object which is stored in a storage and used in the variable printing and to generate a combined image by combining the obtained object; an image setting unit configured to, in a case where the combined image is normally generated by the combining unit, set the combined image to both of a print image and a collation image, and in a case where the combined image is not normally generated, set a different image to each of the print image and the collation image; a printing unit configured to generate the print product by printing the print image set by the image setting unit; a reading unit configured to generate image data by reading the print product; and a comparison unit configured to compare image data generated by the reading unit with the collation image set by the image setting unit to perform inspection of the print product.
