The invention in particular describes a control method for intaglio printing, particularly for printing paper securities, in particular bank notes. This control method includes defining, on an intaglio printing plate (80), control strips (150, 151-55; 170, 171-179) designed so as in particular to make it possible to evaluate the effects of the printing pressure applied during printing of a substrate using the intaglio printing plate (80) and to evaluate the effects of the ink load applied during inking of the intaglio printing plate (8), the control strips (150, 151-55; 170, 171-179) being etched in a portion of the intaglio printing plate (80) so as to produce corresponding printed control zones (160, 161-165) on the substrate. The method furthermore includes performing measurements in the printed control zones making it possible to assess the printing pressure applied during printing of the substrate as well as the ink load applied during inking of the intaglio printing plate (80). |
