INCITS W1.1 macro-uniformity

This paper describes the status of the INCITS W1.1 macro-uniformity ad hoc team, towards development of standards for perceptual image quality for color printers. The team has defined the macro-uniformity attribute, has developed several test patterns to be used for subjective and objective evaluations and has defined test patterns and methods to address color conversions of digitizing devices. A set of print samples, originating from diverse printing systems, has been established, and digitization of these samples is in progress. These activities and next steps are reviewed in this paper.
