A method of setting up an electrostatographic printing machine having image quality attributes and parameters that control the attributes using multivariate modeling and multiobjective optimization. The method includes providing a discrete number of parameter settings and printing test patterns based upon the parameter settings. The test patterns are scanned to produce a set of image quality values. Using a multivariate adaptive regression splines technique, a model of the printing machine image quality is provided in response to the parameter settings and the image quality values. Optimum parameter settings for the printing machine are then determined from the discrete number of parameter settings to produce consistent image quality.
