SETTING THE SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Printing the IPS color samples

Your IPS has two sets of color palette trace files, stored in the /var/db directory on the Printer Controller. Each set contains one palette for each color of dry ink available for the IPS. Appendix B of your System Overview Guide contains samples of both sets of printed palettes for each color ink.

Note: Each color file is applicable only to the corresponding color of dry ink that is installed in the printer.

Extraction color palettes

By printing the following palette files, you can see how the different color extractions affect the appearance of colored areas printed with each color of ink.

Shades and tints palettes

The following palettes show the range of shades and tints that can be printed with each of the highlight color inks, and gives the percentages of color, black, and/or white that make up each one.

Procedure for printing the palettes

You can print out these palette files, which are actually captured trace files, to find out how your particular IPS printer produces the various shades and tints of the color ink that is loaded. Use the procedure for executing a captured trace, as follows.

1.Make sure that the specified extraction color is the same as the color ink that is loaded in the printer. For palettes of colors that are not listed on the Extraction menu, substitute extraction colors as directed in “Setting the extraction color,” earlier in this chapter.

2.Select Trace Options from the Diagnostics pull-down menu on the IPS main window.

3.On the Trace Options window, click Offline.
