Abstract
An equation to describe the granularity of an electrophotographic imaging system has been developed to include the density variance attributed to the paper and toner surfaces. Granularity, G=(JA, D measurements from two conventional electrophotographic copiers were used to validate the relationship. The results show good agreement with the overall shape of the G versus density curve, however the values are not consistent with estimated toner particle size. Clustering of the toner particles is suggested as the cause of the high G values.
