Kodak CIS-201 specifications Setting the Paper Slope, Ringaround Method

Morning Setup channel will use the new paper, you would input the following:

00-07 (N)	Range of channels
0.0Y -0.7M 1.5C -0.4D Y/N	Input corrections
	calculated above.

This Channel Balance correction will be made to channels 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, and 07.

Note: If the channels that will use the new paper are not in a continuous range, you will have to make multiple corrections to avoid altering channels that use other paper types.

8.Repeat Steps 3 through 7 until the Normal test print matches the Normal reference print within one button. When the test print matches the reference print, you can proceed to “Setting the Paper Slope.”

Setting the Paper Slope

After matching the Normal test and Normal reference prints, make test prints from the “Under” and “Over” Printer Setup Negative. Make sure to use the same channel that was used to make the Old-Paper Reference Prints. If the Under and Over test prints match the reference prints, the conversion is complete.

If the test and reference prints do not match, proceed as follows:

1.Calculate the corrections from the density readings in the same way you did for the normal test and reference prints.

2.Apply the slope correction to the paper channels that will use the new paper by using the channel shift command:

To correct the Under slope:

MODE 33 (CH SHIFT)→ YES→ CH BALANCE SHIFT→ NO→ CH UNDER

SHIFT→ D-IN→YES→ SET UNDER NEG→ YES→ input correction

To correct the Over slope:

MODE 33 (CH SHIFT)→ YES→ CH BALANCE SHIFT→ NO→ NO→ CH OVER

SHIFT→ D-IN→YES→ SET OVER NEG→ YES→ input correction

You do not include CH 00 in the channel range, because slope is switched off for CH 00.

3.Repeat the steps until the Under and Over test prints match the Under and Over reference prints to within one button.

When Channel 00 is set up for EKTACOLOR Edge 8/ ROYAL VIII Paper, you must make a new Morning Setup reference print to use in place of the old Edge 7/ROYAL VII Paper reference print. When you have achieved the final balance, make a print on CH 00 and store it to use for Morning Setup.

Ringaround Method

This method does not require a densitometer.

1. When your supply of EKTACOLOR Edge 7/ ROYAL VII Paper is about to run out, print the Printer Setup Negative “Normal,” “Under,” and “Over” on the channel most commonly used for the paper. Label the three prints “Old-Paper Reference Print—Normal,” “Old-Paper Reference Print—Under,” and “Old-Paper Reference Print—Over.”

Keep the negative and prints in a safe place. Record the paper channel (00 to 59) and Morning Setup channel (11 to 84) used to print this test.

Also record the channels that will be using the new paper. Only these channels will be corrected.

Note: If this paper size/surface will also be used for Morning Setup, you must include channel 00 in the corrections.

2. When you are ready to convert to the new paper, load it into the printer.

3. Print a one-button ringaround, using the same test negative you used to make the reference prints in Step 1. You must use the same paper channel and Morning Setup channel as before. Print a ringaround from the Normal negative as follows:

To print a one-button ringaround:

MODE 32 (AUTO RINGAROUND)→ YES→ AUTO RINGAROUND 0(0-2:COLOR 3:DEN)→ 1→ YES

4. When the prints are processed, select the print that is the closest match to the reference print. Apply the correction as indicated by the backprint. It will appear in this order:

Key:	Print	Order	Channel	Y	M	C	D	CF
Data:	236	45	0111	N	N	N	N	2

This is a typical example. Some printers may have different CVP settings. If the backprint is switched off or not legible, keep the prints in order and mark the correction on the back. The prints are printed in this order: -Y, +Y, -M, +M, -C, +C, -D, +D, N.

5. Identify the channels that are currently using the old paper. These channels will all require the same correction.

Note: If the Master Balance or Morning Setup channel will use the new paper, you must include CH 00 in the Channel Balance Shift.

6. Apply the balance correction to the paper channels using this paper size:

MODE 33 (CH SHIFT)→ YES→ CH BALANCE SHIFT→ D-IN→YES

7. Determine which channels use this paper. For example, to input the correction if the -1M print is closest to the
