Recorder Compensation

The state of your recorder impacts the look of the final print. Use the recorder compensation feature to enter information about the specific recorder state so that the impact of this device is included in the print emulation shown through the KODAK Display Manager System. There are two options:

•Neutral-based compensation

•Neutral- and color-based compensation

1.Record a test strip of neutrals or of colors and neutrals onto EASTMAN Color Intermediate Stocks - either 5242 or 2242.

NOTE

For neutral compensation, use your standard recorder control strip.

For neutral and color-based compensation, record the patch frames supplied on the KODAK Display Manager System CD or at http://www.kodak.com/ US/en/motion/products/dlmanage/kdmDown.jhtml.

2.Measure the Status M values of the patches.

Neutral-based compensation: measure all patches on control strip.

Neutral-or color-based compensation: measure 116 patches.

3.Prepare a text file (.txt).

Example file (neutral-based compensation)

Column 1 is the neutral code value. Columns 2 - 4 are Status M values. For comments, start a line with a #, then enter the comment.
