Calibration

NOTE: If you select Designated event as a starting point, you must select an event number and date from the drop-down list on the Select Calibration Event dialog box then click Next.

4.Click Finish.

You need not analyze the target immediately. If

necessary, you can exit the calibration application between printing and analyzing the target so that

you can resume printing.

Analyzing a Calibration Target

You can analyze the printed target visually or with a suitable densitometer. Then, you determine if the current calibration is acceptable or if the printer response curves from this calibration event should be stored in the database and the new LUTs sent to the printer.

Since each target has a unique event number, you need not analyze a target immediately after you print it. After you analyze the calibration target, the results can be stored in the program and sent to the printer in the form of new LUTs, or you can ignore the results.

The analysis steps differ slightly depending on the measurement source selected in the Edit Configuration dialog box (see page 87).
