Abstract

A method for the automated calibration of a printing machine with an image capture system by using a computer, includes putting at least one printed sample substrate with defined deviations into the printing machine, generating a digital image of the printed sample substrate by using the image capture system, calculating current compensation values including defined deviations for configuration parameters of the printing machine relating to optimizing the printing quality by using the computer, and comparing the current compensation values created with target compensation values known from the defined deviations of the printed sample substrate. Serviceability of the printing machine is checked by evaluating the comparison by the computer and/or calibrating the printing machine by using the evaluated comparison by the computer.
