Abstract

Printing quality evaluation is an important means to check whether prints are qualified. However, the current printing quality evaluation system for gravure decorative paper is not perfect. In order to solve this problem, a method for evaluating quality of decorative paper based on analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and the entropy weight method (EWM) model is proposed in this paper. So as to verify the proposed model, decorative paper of different grades was selected as the experimental objects. Firstly, the data about five indices reflecting printing quality were measured. Secondly, the evaluation model was used to assign weights to the indices, and scores in each index were calculated according to scoring tables. Finally, the evaluation scores were statistically analyzed. The results of data analysis showed that the 95% confidence intervals and coefficients of variation were small. The average error of the evaluation system was 0.2061. It indicates that the model can stably distinguish decorative paper of different grades, accuracy of which is high. The research in this paper can provide reference to the quality improvement of decorative paper and the printing quality evaluation of other paper.
