Method for examining a multicolor print (101) of a printed
color texture on a surface (103) of a substrate, in an ongoing printing process of a printing
system, comprising the following steps: - Capturing the first produced multicolor print (101) of the printed
color texture on the surface (103) of the substrate in the ongoing printing process of the printing
system with an
image sensor (109) as a reference of the multicolor print to be printed, - Providing the reference for the multicolor print to be printed (101), - Illuminating the printed surface (103) of the substrate with visible light of a
first light color and with visible light of a further light color, wherein the visible light of the
first light color and of the further light color corresponds to a defined
wavelength or a defined
wavelength range; - Recording an image of the surface (103) of the substrate when illuminated with the visible light of the
first light color and recording another image of the surface (103) of the substrate with visible light of the other light color of an area of the multicolor print (101) using an
image sensor (109) with at least one
image sensor row (109a), - Evaluation of
light reflection in the
image recording of the first light color as well as the other light color and detection of an anomaly in the printed
color texture, in particular a faulty or missing color application, based on the respective
light reflection of the first light color as well as the other light color in a comparison to the reference of the multicolor print to be printed (101) by means of a processor (111); - Detection of a defective
nozzle of the printing
system by detecting the anomaly in the printed color texture, whereby the reference of the multicolor print to be printed (101) of the color texture to be printed is only captured once on the basis of the first printed multicolor print (101).
