Calibrating Your ArtisanTM System

Preparing Your System for Calibration

1Make sure that your color settings are set to "millions" or at least 16-bit color.

2Make sure your display is set to "Professional" mode. To do this, press the "Picture Effect" button on the front of your GDM-C520 display until the on-screen display shows the text "Professional".

3Warm your display up by leaving the display on and displaying a relatively bright screen (over 50% white) for at least an hour before calibration.

4Make sure that the ArtisanTM Sensor is connected to one of your computer's USB ports.

5Lower the light in the room to under 64 lux. Ideally, the ambient light level should be approximately 16 lux.

Calibrating Your System

1Double-click on the ArtisanTM icon to start the application. The main screen will appear.

2Choose a target colorspace from the "Target Colorspace" dropdown menu. Choose from the following three options:

Print RGB D50: Standard colorspace for U.S. prepress and printing professionals.

Print RGB D65: Standard colorspace for European prepress and printing professionals.

Web RGB (sRGB): Standard colorspace for output limited to computer displays, TV, and video.

3Click the "Calibrate" button.

4Center the ArtisanTM Sensor over the target in the middle of the screen, using the hash marks on the screen and sensor to guide this process.

5Click the "Start" button. Your system will take approximately 10 minutes to fully calibrate.

6When the calibration is done, a "Calibration Complete" message will appear. Remove the sensor.

7The new calibration is now active, and is displayed under the "Calibration Data" dropdown menu on the main screen.
