Spectrocam TIPs

Calibrating the Spectocam

Make sure the Spectrocam is calibrated with the white target reference that was shipped with your Spectrocam. The serial numbers on the bottom of the white target reference target and the Spectrocam must match. Setting the white reference to a different target can result in inaccurate printed color.

When measuring on the white target reference, be sure the device is seated correctly.

Scanning the Test Form

Make sure the printed test form is properly aligned to the black scan plate. The Spectrocam must start inside the first patch directly in the center. Otherwise, patches will be read incorrectly.

Make sure the Spectrocam is securely seated in the guide ruler and not tipped while you read patches. Tipping or miss-aligning the Spectrocam while on the guide ruler will cause errors.

The green sensor on top of the Spectrocam responds to transitions from light to dark. The sensor must be activated to measure each row. Inadvertently covering the sensor can prematurely initiate the measurement sequence.

Listen for the flashlamp before you move off the first patch. Sometimes there is a slight delay before it begins to measure.

Reading patches too rapidly is a common error. Scanning one row should take about 6 to 8 seconds.
