Creating a Density File for Use with Calibration

During calibration, you have the option of obtaining density data from a file or by

scanning a processed test target through an X-RITE DTP 36 den sitometer. The

option is determined by the entry in the device configuratio n file. If the

configuration file is set up to receive density data from a file and you are creating

the file:

1. Scan the print into your densitometer.

2. Save the data to file using the density data file format specific ation (see “File

Formats” below). The Kodak Device Calibration Software does not perform

this function.

3. Move the density data file that you just saved to the “Dens” folder within the

device folder for your specific device. The filename should match the Density

Source File selected on the Density Source tab of the Edit Config uration

window (see “Editing Information on the Density Source Tab” on page 3-28).

File Formats

NOTE: If a file contains da ta in a tabular format, each entry may be separated by

multiple spaces and tabs; however, when the file is saved by the application,

each group of multiple spaces and tabs is automatically converted to a

single tab.

R2350 G1010 B2020

R2360 G1020 B2030
