Abstract
The microscopic details of printing often are unnoticed by humans, but can make differences that affect machine recognition of printed text. Models of the defects introduced into images by printing can be used to improve machine recognition. A probabilistic model used to generate images showing toner placement bears similarities to actual printed images. An equation derived for the average coverage of paper by toner particles having probabilistic placement is developed using geometric probability. Simulations show that averages of ‘printed images’ do have the same average coverage as the derived average coverage equations.
