Abstract
A method of development control by storing a reference tone reproduction curve and sensing a relatively small segment of an arbitrary image on an imaging surface. The relatively small segment of the arbitrary image on the imaging surface is then converted into suitable density values, such as background, solid area, and halftone and a control responds to the density values to adjust the machine operation for print quality correction.
