Tech/Engineering - Computers: Hardware / inkjet printers
German term or phrase: relativieren sich
Report comparing two thermal inkjet printers by different manufacturers. The “Unterschiede” refer to the differences in performance of the two printers: clarity of printed image, homogeneity etc. Diese Unterschiede relativieren sich allerdings, wenn man die unten dargestellten 2D-Codes betrachtet. Hier sind Modulgleichmäßigkeit und Präzision bei beiden Systemen auf gleichem Level.
