Abstract
A first separation distance is determined between a first pair of defects in a scanned image of a first printed sheet, and a second separation distance is determined between a second pair of defects in a scanned image of a second printed sheet. The defects are determined as having a separation distance in that the first and second separation distances are each within a first threshold of a specified separation distance and/or a difference between the first and second separation distances is below a second threshold. A source of the defects can be determined based on the characteristic separation distance.
