QiQ — Qi Image Quality 4+

Easily measure and monitor print quality. For print shops seeking to implement print quality assurance protocols, and for manufacturers of print engines, substrates, marking materials, or printer components.

Perform print quality measurements with your Mac and a flatbed scanner. Mottle, graininess, streaking and banding, line width, line raggedness, edge sharpness, spots and voids. Supports several of the ISO/IEC 24790 measurements. See demo at https://www.qiquality.com/videos/DemoScanAnalyzeReport.mov.

Ready to be used with included test charts, and if you need to measure custom charts, the support for Javascript provides complete versatility and flexibility.

For convenient scanning, download the free companion app QiQ Scanner. Scanner hardware requirements: Compatible with many TWAIN flatbed scanners, but tested only with certain scanners. For information on scanner compatibility, please see the website or contact Qi Analytics LLC.

FREE AND PAID FUNCTIONALITY:

The app is free to download. Without purchases you have access to only limited functionality, including:
• Create PDF test charts using QiQ/Javascript.
• Generate TIFF images with simulated print defects.
• Analyze simulated images with standard print quality metrics.
• Use all functionality on included tutorial images.
The free functionality is most useful if you are creating test charts, configurations, scripts, or report templates for use with other installations of QiQ, when you do *not* need to perform real measurements for production use. For example, you can use the free functionality to create images with simulated defects and then test everything from analysis setup to reporting.

PURE PAY-PER-USE WITH CONSUMABLE TOKENS:

Except as explained above, each measurement performed with the app requires payment in the form of "QiQ Tokens”. QiQ Tokens can be purchased in via in-app purchases. QiQ Tokens are a consumable, and will be consumed as you perform measurements. The price of measurements in terms of QiQ Tokens is explained on the QiQ website (https://www.qiquality.com/documents/qiq_prices.pdf).

SUBSCRIPTIONS:

Users can purchase subscriptions that provide certain benefits. Subscriptions are available at different “levels” (e.g. "bronze", “silver” and “gold”) and for different durations (e.g. 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year). When measurements are performed while a subscription is active, fewer QiQ Tokens will be charged than otherwise; that is, an active subscription offers measurements at a discounted rate. The details of subscription benefits are explained at the website (https://www.qiquality.com/documents/qiq_prices.pdf).

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTIONS:

Payment for a subscription will be charged to the iTunes Account when you confirm the purchase. A subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period. The iTunes Account will be charged within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period at the price specified for current subscription. Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase. You will be able to use the app on multiple devices, as allowed by Apple's in-app purchase policy.
