Abstract
A printing device includes an inline inspection system using one or more sensors to determine defects on a printed sheet. The control unit, or other component connected to the printing device, determines a plurality of horizontal and vertical portions within one or more images on the sheet that are above a colorant value, or CMYK, threshold. A set of the plurality of horizontal and vertical portions are identified from the images on the sheet. The set of horizontal portions may differ from the set of vertical portions. The printed images of these portions are captured by the inline sensor. The captured data is analyzed to determine a defect within the printed sheet.
